The times we live in...

I just read this great post on Dave Foster's blog. He addresses the financial times we currently find ourselves living in. On his blog he says,

We’re going through a financial cycle. I’m old enough to have experienced two or three of these before, and this is what I know. The very best way to get out of a recession is do something really important that helps people: to be in a business that allows you to be obsessively, compulsively preoccupied with the needs of others; to have great products that deliver on everything that they promise; to do what you love and love what you do; to be smart, to save, and to hold in reserve the financial, emotional, physical, and spiritual wherewithal you’ll need to weather difficult times.

Again, this is a brand new week. You can approach it with a recession mentality, or a positive mindset that says the best thing for me to do today is to get up, suit up, show up, and do the next right thing. For those kinds of people, usually good things happen.

I love that line - be in a business that allows you to be obsessively, compulsively preoccupied with the needs of others. That's how I want to live. That's what I want to be known for. And that is what led me to start OtherPeopleMatter!
