Running to WIN!

Running to WIN!Idea-rich strategies for timely leadership and career success

Several years back I was driving home to Calgary from Lethbridge, AB early one winter morning. I had been working with Southern Alberta clients all week and wanted to get back to the office early so I could drop off my paperwork, get a bit of catch up done, and start my weekend. I was making good time cruising down the highway with the radio playing some great tunes. Then, I noticed a sign saying Castlegar, BC only 65 miles. Whoa! I pulled over and collected my thoughts.

How could that be? I was heading home to Calgary, Alberta! Somehow in my overworked, tired brain I had driven right through Fort Macleod and missed at least two BIG highway signs reminding me to turn ’RIGHT’, to head ’NORTH’ to Calgary. Sure, I was making great time, but I was going in the ’wrong’ direction.

We live in an increasingly hectic and demanding world. The demands of running a business or having a successful career overlap and conflict with the demands of having a life, being a spouse or parent, and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Many of us are already running as fast as we can - perhaps Running TOO Fast, and we’re not keeping up.

- Many of us are running without knowing where the finish line is located.

- We are running without a real sense of purpose and we are running alone.

- This is a recipe for failure and frustration.

This revised mini book (2020-2023) is designed for those who are ’Running to WIN!’ It is written by someone who has learned the value of leveraging his time investment for greater success and productivity, the hard way. ���� You can too!
