Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
Change is always difficult, and many people avoid it all the time. However, people who successfully change, often change how they feel about it before actually doing anything about it. What powers us to make the change, or blocks us from doing it, is usually how we feel about it.

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
Leaders who achieve long lasting success are focused on a cause bigger than their own personal gain. They have focused themselves on “making a difference” in something, and when you make a difference in others in a big way…the personal gain is just a byproduct.

The Obvious?
I’ve been a long time user of
Daylite, the Mac CRM and task manager from Market Circle, and had invested a lot in learning it and customising it. Over time I found the poor task management frustrating and moved to
Omnifocus which I love.
I watched effort going into Market Circle’s invoicing app
Billings, which I gave up using as the integration with Daylite never worked, and their iPad apps, which I don’t use, and kept waiting and waiting for the Mac app to get some attention.
When the new version arrived yesterday I was genuinely excited as I still want a way to integrate my GTD with contact management. But what a disappointment. It feels like they have shuffled the deckchairs rather than really improved anything. Managing contacts and lists seems if anything harder, adding todo’s is a multi step process, and not to have a system wide way of adding new tasks is a deal breaker. I know their CEO AJ says it is on the way but they said that about Daylite 4 for years!!
Sorry to appear grumpy but I am genuinely frustrated and don’t see any way I could justify the $179.95 USD price tag to “upgrade”.
Oh well, off to look again at Salesforce …

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
One thing is very certain in life…nothing stays the same. Therefore, we are either focused on getting better every day or we are actually getting worse (as nothing stays the same). Why not set a goal to make an investment in “you” each day that will guarantee you will never be getting worse.

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
One of the leader’s roles is to help his or her people to grow, and to grow as fast as they can. Successful leaders are good at giving very clear feedback to their people, as clear feedback helps their people to take action faster and improve faster.

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
When we think about our skills, we often think…I could do this. However, success in life requires making better choices, and that’s done by understanding that can should not always mean should. The successful know that they should focus only on their most important skills (the ones that drive their success).

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
Most achievement that doesn’t happen is usually driven by not even taking the first step. People procrastinate and keep telling themselves the same old story…the timing is not right. Helping others usually involves helping them take the first step. Why not help someone take that step this week.

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful
Everyone has a boss, and every boss has his or her priorities. Those priorities are sort of a lens from which the boss views what everyone in their organisation is doing. This means that looking good through your boss’s lens is all about being focused on doing (and achieving) within the boss’s priorities.

The Obvious?
Out of time we cut “days” and “nights”, “summers” and “winters”. We say what each part of the sensible continuum is, and all these abstract whats are concepts.
The intellectual life of man consists almost wholly in his substitution of conceptual order for the perceptual order in which his experience originally comes.
- William James
