on the way home

March 10, 2009

drove 6 hours from San Francisco to home in Los Angel es today and took a half hour break for dinner. it was about 400 miles total. I was driving 80 miles average. some times i drove slower and some times i drove faster. Most of the time I was driving pretty slow. the whole time I tried to pick up speed. every time when I picked up speed I reminded myself to always have safety as the number one priority. my 100% intention was safety, so that safety is ensured. notice that my number one intention was not to get to home early because if I had that as number one then I may drive very fast and it may lead to accident.

this is an example of how important intention is. In fact it is the most important thing in getting any result. not only the intention has to be 100%, it also need to be precise. for example I had safety as my priority so my 100% intention was safety. In business it looks like this. if my 100% intention was to have ten million gross profit the result into an overall lose in the business because expenses maybe mismanaged and ate up all of the gross profit. on the other hand if my 100% intention is ten million net profit then the business is likely be be profitable because it is profit after expenses. however it may still not be enough. you may ask why. Because what if employees are not taken care of f that could be a huge long term problem. taking it a step further. If our 100% intention is ten million net profit and happy employees then this 100% intention would be a sustainable 100% intention because when employees are also happy then the business can be competitive and strong in the long run.
