Quiet... I'm Thinking

By Scott V. Black

I am lucky in what I do because I get to talk to many people. When I teach or train a class, I get to meet people at a deep level. When I am in the office on the phone putting “butts in chairs,” I talk with many people as well. The common message I get is that “life is hectic.” I have people that I chase around for months—sometimes years—to get them to schedule a 2.5 day class. You would think I am asking them to commit a month of their life. But that all changes once they go through Awakening, right… ? Right… ? I don’t think so!

Believe it or not, I sometimes have a hard time getting people to call me back after graduating from leadership Awakening. By the way, this is not because they didn’t like the class, or didn’t have a great experience. It is because they are soooo busy. Life is so busy that they don’t have time to return a phone call. I can show you examples of 5-7 messages left for some people over a month or two… and they are just soooo busy they couldn’t return a phone call. Now this article is not about disrespect…  I am sure that nobody reading this article would ever do that.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Today I want to talk about how life in general is busy. I also want to talk about how we can sometimes purposely make it so busy. We get something out of keeping life busy. Think about this, what do you gain...
