“If you were the BEST in the world at what you do, how would you BEHAVE?”

Gerade bin ich wieder mal über ein interessantes Blog gestolpert. Alexandra Franzen stellt da ein paar sehr interessante Fragen: 

“If you were the BEST in the world at what you do, how would you BEHAVE?”

Would you wake up at dawn, set your intentions for the day, and get crack-a-lackin’? (✔) Naaa jaaa, halbwegs früh. Der gute Wille ist da.

Would you spend 15 minutes an hour on Twitter, or 15 minutes a day? (✔) Bin dabei, mir das grad beizubringen. Morgens 30 Minuten Mails und Plattformen, dann switch-off bis abends um 7.

Would you obsessively check your email, or would you keep your inbox CLOSED for the majority of the day, so you can frickin’ WORK? ✔ Siehe oben.

Would you agonize over other people’s careers — people who seem more successful and popular than you — or would you celebrate their successes and learn from their models? ✔

Would you send gawky, icky groupie-style fan mail to people you idolize, or would you approach them respectfully, as your esteemed peers?

Would you waste valuable energy fretting and frittering with minutia (document formatting, toilet cleaning, button mending), or would you hire professionals to help you create “white space” in your life?

Would you accept every new client, opportunity and request that comes your way — or would you choose your projects with gracious discernment? Enormer Lernprozess im Moment bei mir.

Would you say YES to dinner with an unexpected advocate, mentor or collaborator? ✔!

Would you say NO to (most) unpaid gigs and pro bono requests? Siehe 2 weiter vorn.

Would you move to a larger city, and start playing BIG? Definitiv nicht. Ich bleib in Dresden ♥
:)

Would you build humanitarian structures, scholarship funds and charitable events into your business model? Gern :)

Would you blog about what you ate for breakast, or publish articles with resonance and legacy potential? Sagt ihr ;)

Would you raise your rates? Schritt 1: Lerne grad, meinen Preis zu vertreten, ja.

Would you take a sabbatical? ✔ Die Wochenenden sind weitgehend unverplant. (Das werden dann allerdings oft die produktivsten, kreativsten Tage. Siehe gestern! 8 Stunden durchgearbeitet, und es fühlte sich sooo guuut an!)

Would you sell your TV? ✔ vor 3 Jahren.

Would you write a book? ✔ Bin dabei :) (Und nicht nur eins :))

Would you hire an assistant, or find an intern? ✔ Sie kommt im Mai.

Would you do what you say you’re going to do?

Would you make yourself more accessible, or more elusive?

Would you hire an outsource business partner? An image consultant? A virtual decorator? A voice coach? A brand positioning strategist? An intuitiv? An astrologer?

Would you take, teach or curate a course? Gerne :)

Would you slice negative people out of your life? ✔

Would you learn to meditate? ✔

Would you change your name? Nö. Mad4Music passt doch :)

Would you make eye contact? In Übung :)

Would you hold yourself accountable?

Would you treat your TIME as the invaluable, finite, non-renewable resource that it is? Auf jeden Fall meine Energie.

Would you change, slash, or straight-up kill your to-do list? ✔ (Versuche es zumindest immer wieder.)

Would you fill your days with objects, scents, music, textiles, fonts, colors, literature, systems, foods, festivities, experiences and HUMANS that make you feel strong // vibrant // galvanized // greater-than? ✔✔

Would you scrabble along, or would you SOAR?
