Thanks @MustImprove for a kick a$$ thread, and walking the talk.
Can anyone see why @MustImprove is seen as a problem solver, or more importantly, WHY business people would come to him to get his help?
Does it look like he's trying to help?
Does it look like he's doing so because he wants YOU to succeed, or because he's in it for what HE can get out of it?
(Apologies if you're a she @MustImprove .)
A story I originally posted here:
Due to a clerical error, a man gets to choose whether he spends eternity in heaven or hell.
He asks if he can take a quick peek at both before he chooses.
They show him the canteen in hell first.
It's a massive banquet table with fabulous food and beautiful ornate chairs. The smells make his mouth water and stomach grumble.
He wonders if this is a mistake.
The dinner bell sounds and people shuffle in silently. They look gaunt and miserable, with a tortured look in their eyes.
They seat themselves and start to eat. It's then he notices the spoons are 2 feet long.
The delicious food falls off the spoons as they try in vain to feed themselves.
They show him the canteen in heaven next.
It's a massive banquet table with fabulous food and beautiful ornate chairs. The smells make his mouth water and stomach grumble.
It looks exactly the same as the canteen in hell.
He looks closely and all the spoons are 2 feet long.
He wonders if this is a mistake.
The dinner bell sounds and people file in chatting amongst themselves. They look well-fed and happy, with big smiles on their faces.
The seat themselves and start to eat.
They use the 2 foot spoons to scoop up the delicious food and serve the person opposite them.
The canteens are exactly the same.
For some it's heaven, because they choose to help each other.
For others it's hell, because they choose to help themselves.
Your experience of business and life will differ depending on what you choose.
