You Never Know Whom You’re Going to Meet

I love bumping into people and finding out who they are and what they’re working on. You never know whom you’re going to meet. Such encounters can be valuable: If you think about how your most important relationships began – with business partners, your spouse, with friends and mentors – the stories will almost all involve chance meetings. My curiosity about others and ability to connect with people have helped me to succeed – after all, if people don’t know who you are, they are not going to do business with you. Spring is just such a moment we reach out and share our happiness with our friends and those to be.
Grace, Pride, and Beauty

Peacocks symbolize grace, pride, and beauty. They are a sign of joy for all who see them. In India, where the peacock symbolizes knowledge and wisdom, it is considered sacred. In China, where the peacock symbolizes purity, it is considered sacred. At Powerstorm Capital we present the peacock to symbolize the nature of our work, rooted as it is in striving to advance knowledge and to discover truth and wisdom.

Create An Authentic Connection

“WHEN WE FEARLESSLY FIGHT FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN AND REMAIN HOPELESSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT LIFE, LOVE AND THE FUTURE, WE CREATE AN AUTHENTIC CONNECTION WITH ALL IN OUR PATH. MOST IMPORTANTLY WITH OURSELF.”
Establish The Trigger As A Habit

Falling into bad habits like laziness, procrastination, and an attitude of entitlement.
You may recognize some of your (many) behaviors that are like this, which have a trigger which is relatively easy to perform, but cascades effort to the rest of the behavior. We can combat our human weakness by taking responsibility when others won’t. Lets start today.
If you can establish the trigger as a habit, the rest will follow:
- Exercising – Commit to going to the gym.
- Learning – Read at least one page.
- Socializing – Say hello to one person.
- Writing – Write a paragraph on any topic
Clever planning matters more than inexhaustible endurance. Invest your energy, not just in trying to stick to your goals, but in designing goals which are easier to stick with.

Think Positive and Don’t Do Anything Rush or Bitter

Stop saying “should have,” after you lose your job . Start saying “next time.” The former is backward-facing and the latter is forward-facing.Should have’s correct the past; something impossible to do. When you say “we should have” you belittle past wisdom and efforts
Should-have-leaders honor their critics; something that creates more critics because you get more of what you honor.
Critics frequently don’t participate but judge what was done. Critics sit on the sidelines and seldom offer useful suggestions because they are ignorant of everything that was planned and done. They tear down. If the best you can do is point out failures in others, you’re probably failing yourself.
Participants, on the other hand, offer insightful evaluations that create improvements. They establish platforms that enhance and build the future
Say, “What worked” and “What didn’t work” rather than “What went wrong.” The former acknowledges sincere effort. The latter is negative; it belittles participants.
“Should have” ties you to the past and expresses defeatist attitudes. “Next time” presses into the future and maintains momentum; something all successful leaders do.
Think positive and don’t do anything rush or bitter. As satisfying as it might be, making accusation or sending an email about everything that’s wrong with that company, your ex boss, your ex colleagues, the work place just be smart don’t do it. You need to protect your reputation now more than ever, and a bitter, hostile exit will make that impossible. Being negative holds you in the past and restrains you from the future
Put all the energy in finding the next step up and let the past “What worked” to be the starting point for your future. Better old friends than new enemies.
