Welcome Back! Full transparency – I am not really sure if that was meant for me or you. It was May 4, 2015 when I last posted on this page. At that time, my business was growing, my first book, Leadership by Invitation: How to RSVP and Embrace your Role as a LEADER had been released and was doing well. That was followed by a collaborative book project Energize Your Leadership: Discover, Ignite, Break Through, and I was entering a new season of life. Blogging always kept me in the creative mode but other priorities and projects required a shift in where my time was being invested.
Since then, I have continued to create content but most of it has been contract or project work for clients and partners. What I have done during this time, is capture many thoughts and ideas and am ready to get back into the world of content creation.
I am once again, entering a new chapter in life and making some changes that will help keep me focused on my vision and living into my purpose. Blogging always helped keep me in the creative mode and I look forward to sharing some great thoughts and ideas over the weeks and months that follow.
Now, back to the title of this post. PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE!
There are two goals that I wanted to accomplish in this post. First, many of you were subscribed to my blog back in 2015 and as my life has changed, I am sure yours has too. I DO NOT want to fill your inbox with one more email that you neither have the bandwidth or the desire to invest your time in reading.
This is your chance to make this the one and only post you will receive from me. So PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE if that is you. If not, I look forward to the opportunity to add value to you in the future.
Point Two. Over the last five years, I have truly come to understand and appreciate the value of time. I also know how much the noise and clutter that we face every day, can take that time away from us. One of the biggest places this happens is your inbox.
Every day I spend countless minutes deleting emails that I have no intention of reading. Now I get it – there might be something someday that will add value to me – right! Seriously, you know better. You have been deleting emails from that same source for years and have never read one of them. PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE!
I am somewhat organized. For the ones I KNOW I will read some day, I put in a folder. Anyone want to guess when the last time I went back into one of those folders was? – Exactly! PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE!
I know that email is important. I know that there are emails that need to be saved. I also know that almost without exception, we all have some emails we could unsubscribe to. PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE!
These are certainly unprecedented and challenging times as related to the Global Pandemic we are all navigating right now, and I hope this post finds you and your family safe and healthy. One byproduct of the chaos has been a reduction in commuting time and an overall pause on life as we know it. So let’s turn adversity into advantage.
Here is my challenge to you and I will put skin in the game with my combined inbox count currently north of 13,000.
Allocate 15-30 minutes a day to clean out your inbox, identify the content that is NOT NEEDED and PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE!
If you can’t do 15-30 minutes a day, do 15-30 minutes per week. Do what you can but do something! We can and will do this together!!
WOW! It sure feels good to be back!
