Daily Positive Action Plans with Big Dave

Today’s meditation explores imagination as the starting point for achievement. Kurt and I talk about Albert Einstein and the idea of imagining something before you can prove it. Sometimes the picture comes before the mathematics. Your imagination lets you explore possibilities before the real world catches up. Maybe the first step toward accomplishing something is simply being able to see it.

What happens when you have a great idea, but nobody else sees it yet? Today’s meditation looks at Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly, and the power of trusting your instincts. Kurt and I talk about imagination, patience, teamwork, and knowing when criticism is actually useful advice. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to a great idea is your own ego. And sometimes… the room just hasn’t ca...

Sometimes leadership isn't about pushing people around; it's about being willing to wa...

Before resumes , promotions, and careers, many of us learned about reputation on the playground - when someone had to choose who they wanted in their team. Being picked first can build confidence, while being picked last can become the motivation to work harder, improve, and prove yourself. Don't live off your reputation. - keep building it. This is Big Dave and you go and have a GREAT day !!

What happens when you do more than you are paid to do- sometimes before anyone is paying you at all?
