Who Pumps the Pumper

Everyday's a challenge in these difficult economic times.  No more so then when dealing with the people you work with....especially when you are the business leader.   You're expected to keep your team "pumped up," motivated, and inspired.    It can be very demanding because your employees are watching you for clues about what you really think.   Any inconsistencies will be discovered.  So how do you pump yourself up?  

A very close friend suggested I start meditating first thing in the morning.   "Start the day right," he counseled.  Focus on the day ahead, all that you will accomplish, all that you look forward to, and all that you are thankful for.   He even gave me a book... The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari.    I didn't expect much, but I started meditating first thing in the morning.   And I must admit, it's made a big difference.   I'm excited to start each day and take on whatever challenges I may encounter.   

Give it a try and let me know what you think.   Best.  Brian.
