BREAKFAST BRIEFING Waken slowly and gently. Be careful as the day stumbles clumsily into your stories of night, trying hard not to stand on delicate fragments of your dreams. Let them dance together, your night and day, looking strangely at each other, finding a place with each other, for these fleeting moments. Hover between your conscious and subconscious with due reverence for glimpses of your unknown. Let this unseen world play its magic. For the day will soon be here and the possibilities of night may be gone forever. Just for now let them play together. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What glimpses have you had of your unknown? 2. How might you capture and treasure the fragments of your dreams? Day 13 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
HITTING TARGETS If you throw a stone to hit a stick in the water you can easily miss. Try again. If you keep repeating this you can miss many times using up your resources. And time. You can however pick up a handful of pebbles and throw them all together easily bombarding your target. Instantly. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What targets are you trying to hit - at work, at home, relationships, personal, health, career, future, etc? 2. Where are your pebbles? Day 12 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
WEALTH CREATION The contract for sharing called the seller and buyer is flawed because it involves the exchange of money. This excludes so many who may wish to benefit from your products, services or experience. People may never know the value of what you can offer or simply may not have the money to buy. They may live in other parts of the world where the cost of your expertise is beyond their reach. Give away your stuff for free, build real relationships and create a sharing global economy where all can participate equally. For your real wealth lies not in limited financial transactions but in the spread of your gifts outwards and onwards for ever. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What are the three greatest gifts (knowledge, experience or expertise) that you have been blessed with? 2. How can you begin today to share just one of these with others for free?

MANAGEMENT BUYOUT I reinvented my life today. I created a whole new way of being. I redefined who I am and what I am about. I left behind my old life, my previous world. I still know all the same people but I see them through different glasses now clearer and brighter. Today I created a whole new way of being. I’m a different person in the same skin. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. If you were to reinvent your life today what would it look like? 2. What is your new way of being? Day 10 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
