The Power of NO
Posted on 06. Dec, 2010 by Grant Herbert-The People Builder™.
Learning not to say yes to everything that comes across your desk is one of the keys to overcoming procrastination. For many years I would write lists of what “needed” to be done and then be overwhelmed by the size of the list. We all have 168 hours in every week, no one gets any [...]

Purposeful Perfectionism Produces Powerful Procrastinators
Posted on 22. Nov, 2010 by Grant Herbert-The People Builder™.
In the words of Victor Kiam, the man who liked the shaver so much that he bought the company, “Procrastination is opportunities’ assassin”. In it’s purest form, the word literally means to put something forward for tomorrow. Psychologists often cite such behaviour as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing [...]

Posted on 18. Sep, 2010 by Grant Herbert-The People Builder™.
The environment we choose to live in, can easily be created, by first choosing where is the best spot to hang our hammock.

In a survey by the Saratoga Institute they found that whilst 89% of managers believed that employees leave for more money, only 12% actually leave for financial reasons.
