It's All About The People Silly

I took this picture from my office on Canada Day. These are the "SAILS" you see in every tourist picture of Vancouver.

I have been extremely busy lately. Good busy... you know, the ones that are about moving forward and not about wallowing in the past (trust me, I have had my share of wallowing).


I recently took on the role of Chairman of the Young President's Organization (YPO), British Columbia. YPO's website states it is the world's most powerful network. I can definitely say that the organization has had a significant impact on my life so this is one way for me to give back. I also find this role very rewarding as you get to meet and learn from some of the most interesting, driven and creative people around.

On top of this, I have been helping on a political campaign,  working with a university on different financial initiatives,  exploring at least three different business ventures, expanding our current businesses, plus trying to live a balanced life (who am i kidding) ... and, in the middle of all this,  I had scheduled to get my teeth "prepped" for veneers (I will blog about this next week).


Why am I rambling...the busier one gets, the more important TIME becomes. I increasingly find myself not wanting to waste the precious resource on activities that don't lead to a sense of growth - whether it be personal, business or family,  Especially when you have multiple options for each activity.


And whatever the activity, I asses the people first. Do I want to spend time with these folks or not?

Soooooooo.....after years of contemplation, I am reminded: It is all about the people silly!
