Open Door Policy for Inspiration…
A few mornings ago I had a cold visit for “franchising” our business. (Immediate reaction: What in the world?) I gave the gentleman 2 minutes to present his case.
120 seconds… (Get me interested or get the hell out of my office…)
I listened and turned him down. So WHY even entertain the visit in the first place?
FRANKLY, I was hoping to be inspired, to learn something new.
It didn’t happen, but being prepared to be inspired can be the necessary preamble to actually being inspired…
TRY THIS: Instead of “pre-judging” the outcome of your next conflict, decision, or idea FORCE yourself listen and learn something. Be prepared to be amazed!
(I keep a MoleSkine® notepad with me to take notes on important parts of conversations or snippets of inspiration.)
