“Good process serves you so you can serve customers. But if you’re not watchful, the process can become the thing. This can easily happen in large organizations. The process becomes the proxy for the result you want. You stop looking at outcomes and just make sure you’re doing the process right. Gulp. The process is not the thing. It’s always worth asking, do we own the process or does the process own us?”
We should not sacrifice our time with our loved ones because of false urgencies. We
should not sacrifice our health because of false urgencies. And finally, we definitely should not pass our golden years without creating financial freedom and meaning for our life.
More than work, it is in life that we need to really perform.
Habits create AUTOMATION.
“The philosophy of the rich and poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left. Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle-class acquire liabilities that they think are assets. An asset puts money in your pocket. A liability takes money from your pocket.”
When I looked around, the things that were stable and durable were all built on this philosophy. And that philosophy is to be a work in progress. Be it a person, a company, or a nation, the ones who were making a mark
were those that were a work in progress. This thought was fascinating. In fact, it was liberating. It just took the pressure off me to feel like a success or a failure.
