A bunch of us had a great get-together yesterday to talk about our businesses and how things were going. I asked everyone if there was anything they were struggling with and if they’d like to share it with the group.

We had a lively discussion on taxes and marketing with facebook and the like. And yet, looking back, I wished I had asked a different question – is there anything going exceptionally well that you’d like to share?

Often, too often, we focus on the things we’d like to fix and we fail to celebrate the things that have gone well. We obsess over our shortcomings and don’t feed our strengths. Marcus Buckingham is right… We need to discover and develop our strengths even moreso than we tend to our flaws. There is a balance, a harmony to be sought here.

So today, reflect on the things you’ve recently done well, celebrate them and find ways to feed them, to develop them even more, and to share them.

Cheers…

…Allen
