What kind of Resolution did Ben Franklin have?

he was obviously great at that!  Here I am on my quest to be just a little better and I am following the light Ben Franklin left behind.  This week my goal is to do what I say I am going to do . . . kids, work and all.  I thought I was pretty good but already, my kids are calling me saying, “You said you were only going to work til 3 pm and then go to the park and play tennis!”  It is ten to 3 I had better get going if I am going to do Ben Franklin proud.  See the outline below . . .  and get more information at www.powerstategies.TV.

Resolution – Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

 

Kim perspective:  do what I say I am going to do every day all day.  If I tell my assistant that I will be back from a meeting by 3, I will be back or call her.  If I tell my kids I am going to take them swimming, I am going to take them swimming!

 

Kim’s sample blog:

How many times do I say, “sure I’ll call you right back!” and then get caught up and forget!  I will do this to my friend and she will say, “you never called me back!” and then I am stunned and think, doesn’t she know how busy I am?  EVERYONE is busy and our word has to mean something!  So, for one week I am going to work on my words, what do I say and do I do what I say!  This will be a tough one for me . . . so many professionals do not practice this.  How many times have you called for someone who says, “Sure I’ll get back to you!” How many times have you done that yourself?  My work this week on top of the mountains of PR and Marketing will be all about doing what I say I am going to do!
