What you do...
matters more than what you say you do.
Many of you have heard me say this over and over and over again. I keep pounding the drum beat because it is the access of experience.
The other day I was struck by the following quote that appeared in my Franklin Planner:
Don't say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary. Ralph Waldo Emerson.
As always, Emerson puts things so simply and eloquently, and reminds me often of the basics in life...
So, if you are a marketing person did you hear what Emerson said. If not, go to a quite room, turn off your mind, and re-read. Repeat until you have absorbed the words...

Ah, Emerson. A man after my own heart - and mind. Did it ever occur to anyone else that Tom Peters really must be Ralph Waldo reincarnated?
Love the quote - and love the advice. It's the action, not the talk, that gets results.
So let's get to the action ... so we can get to the BEING. That's where the real results will show up.
Wonderful article! Mike Sandy's book, I'm Finally in Business for Myself...Now What? really helped me decide to start a small business. Check it out at http://finallyinbusiness.blogspot.com/
