Most organizations only focus on WHAT they do and HOW they do it - tactics and strategies - and they aren't even aware that this thing called the WHY exists. Focusing on only two pieces of a three piece puzzle leaves an organization, or a career, inherently out of balance. Being out of balance, only operating on two of the three pieces, shows up in different ways - increased stress, loss of passion, obsession with what your competition is doing, being forced to play the price game, trouble differentiating. These are all signs that the WHY is missing.

My own career is a case study for what I believe in.

Taking a job for the cash is not as important as taking a job for the joy.

Multi-millionaires who pay half or less than half of the percentage of tax the rest of us pay justify their actions by saying they pay what the law requires. Though true, the fact is they found ways within the law to beat the purpose of the law - which, in the case of taxes, is that we all pay our fair share.

A small team, committed to a cause bigger than themselves, can achieve absolutely anything.

If you don't understand people, you don't understand business.

Being driven is not the same as being passionate. Passion is a love for the journey. Drive is a need to reach the destination.
