P341 4 The beach run Your daily sales muscle workout… The Beach Run The first step into your MIGHTY 2009... Welcome to “the newsletter formerly known as BIG PICTURE details”! The day before NYE, I spent 2 hours running (err, shuffling) the beach from Goolwa to Port Elliot. About 13km, I could see the obelisk of Elliot ahead where I'd meet the family for lunch. The beach constantly changed - soft, firm, shell-covered and, when I wasn't watching, underwater. Had my eyes down to decide where each footstep should go. But kept looking up to ensure the obelisk hadn't disappeared. Now and then I remembered to glance out to sea, breathe in and remind myself how good this place is. Finished a bit fried with sore feet (but got my fish'n'chip lunch & a bucketful of personal satisfaction). This year, through eclectic stories, book reviews, fresh perspectives and gauntlets thrown at your feet, I'm aiming to help you cross the sand; Define & remember the business outcomes most important to you Focus on processes you need to get there Galvanise habits & disciplines to keep you moving, and Lift your eyes to remember to enjoy what you're doing! Welcome to your daily sales beach run. Anyone can run on sand.
