You've got to care

Yesterday I woke up to some good news. I got a distinction for my research report on the Qantas Group.

Yesterday I woke up to some good news. I got a distinction for my research report on the Qantas Group.

I felt like a million bucks and was obviously very proud of myself. Then I read a powerful tweet.

“Doesn't matter your degrees attained, hours logged, or certifications earned. You've got to care.”

Few people nail things on the head like Brad Stulberg. Hearing how important giving a damn is was the cold shower my mind needed.

There’s waking up and then there’s getting a wake up call. Brad’s timing was perfect.

So I have my first MBA subject under the belt. That’s cool and in some ways even a mini-dream come true. But... I’m determined to keep my feet on the ground.

That means doing the every day and every week stuff that combines to make a great year: Invest in my team leaders, build my division and enable our business through technology.

Good news can make your day. But good advice can make your year. The real distinction is whether you care!
