As a person or as a business, what are your greatest assets?
Take a moment if you will. Think about your answer.
Did your answers include money in the bank, a great product,
a house, a car, impressive sales?
Do you feel compelled to protect and develop these assets?
Another question: what could you lose that would shake you
to your foundations? What, if taken away, could bring you to your knees?
Your family, health, values, team?
My final question: if the two lists are different, how much time and energy do you currently
invest in the former vs the latter?
Great question Adam. In the Time Management exercise by the wonderful Steven Covey (Seven Habits of Highly Effective People), folk are always taken aback when asked to include things like their relationships, health and leisure in the "Important" quadrant. I do sometimes wonder why people are in business if not to create a better life for their nearest and dearest. In answer to the first question, mine is my reputation :)
