Love the Mission Statement:”I make a profound difference in other people’s lives by serving myself and others.”

I just read a very insightful article within Rockton Software’s bi-monthly newsletter in which President, Mark Rockton decided to put aside his do-it-yourself remodeling; the work that will always be there; and the guilt of ‘not working’ ~ and take a quick vacation to the coast with his family.

I’ve learned, through the hard lesson of having a sick child and then losing him, that family is ALWAYS important ~ but even MORE important, is that you need to HAVE energy to successfully make any kind of impact on others.  If you are stressed beyond belief, tired from your toes to your nose, and frustrated about all there is to do; you will NOT be able to accomplish anything.  Taking a well deserved break, especially recharging, is not an option ~ it is mandatory!

Thanks for reminding us all Mark, that our “To-Do List” will be there when we get back, and will seem more palatable to take on when we are fully strengthened! 

THEN we can properly service our customers, close those challenging deals, smile through the ‘drama’; and come home to relax unconditionally with our family!

So make this your Mission Statement/Motto too:  “I make a profound difference in other people’s lives by serving myself and others.”
