 I have had many conversations with business owners and leaders around the core element that keeps things alive and vibrant for them, inside and outside of the workplace. For some of them, it is completely obvious what is necessary for hobbies or their relationships with their significant others to continually be fresh, interesting and engaging. The quality of being fascinated- inexplicably drawn to being with someone and / or doing something is essential. I also notice some of them somehow compartmentalize this – in other words, what must be true for what they consider their “personal” lives to work somehow don’t apply to their “business” or “work” lives.

I was running a Discover Your Winning Edge workshop this last week and was speaking to a participant about what he said he wanted in his business vs what he was expecting to attain. At first, the amount of business that he said he wanted vs. the amount he expected was noticeably different. It became obvious that the increase in business was something he was "hoping" for.
Since what I do has nothing to do with thinking like "The Secret", in which your thoughts somehow create your reality, I asked him to think of it this way... if you are hungry, would you rather have one apple in your hand or "hope" for three?

What most people I encounter are actually looking for is to have their organization function at it's best. They get caught up in thinking the way to do that is by solving whatever "problem" they are having.
