Strengths Finder 2.0

May I be so bold as to make a suggestion today? Do you have an extra $25.00 to invest in your future? Than by all means go out and pick up the book Strengths Finder by Tom Rath. The first thing to do when you get the book is find the access code for the online test and then go to the website http://www.strengthsfinder.com/ and take the test. You will then discover what your strengths are and, although they may not makes sense to you at first, the more you read about them the more you'll say, "Yeah, that's me alright."

I took the test and was amazed what my top 5 strengths were.

It's interesting and it's well worth the money to find your strengths! Don't delay, go out and get a copy today or order it from amazon! You'll be glad you did. Below is a link to Amazon that will save you some money on this great book.

Getting up eariler

I really got to get up earlier! Sleep is overrated, although I love it! Last night I didn't get to bed until 2:00am!! My own fault. I was watching the CAVS beat Phoenix. But I had to go exercise with my father-in-law at 7:00 this morning. That meant getting up at 6:45am. Now if you do the math, that's 4:45 minutes sleep! I think Benjamin Franklin was right, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Although I have also heard it said, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man a rooster in disguise." Don't you find when you get up earlier you get so much more accomplished during the day? Huh? Did you hear me? Oh wait, you can't answer, this is a one way conversation! But it's true. So I think and hope that I am now dedicated to getting up earlier everyday! I'd say 6:00 is a good time so that's what I'll shoot for.

Have a great day and GOADS. Go Out And Do Something!!
