Numbers - with Lee Colan

Lee Colan inspired me again with a recent email

Here is a summary - it's about numbers and different numbers (the number is in "red"):

1 – Thought, word or action can change the world.

We each have the power to create a positive ripple, effecting many people many miles away. We can change the world of those around us. This also creates a powerful ripple effect inside each of us – it feels good!

3 – Hours of reading per day that Zig Ziglar still invests to this day!

A reader is a leader.

8 – Years the average person spends eating during their lifetime.

10 – Positive customer experiences required to counteract a single negative customer experience.

28 – Years the average person spends sleeping over the course of a lifetime.

45 – Percent of those who read an e-newsletter who read it from start to finish.

52 – Years old when Ray Kroc founded McDonald's

It's never too late to start working on your dream!

65 –Percent of workers report receiving no recognition for good work in the previous year according to a Harris Poll.

We do more for those who appreciate us. So, challenge yourself to sincerely and specifically recognize at least three positive contributions each day. I know you will see the difference in your team's discretionary effort if you take this challenge.

70 – Percent of New Year's resolutions that fail within a month.

100 – Percent of the time that someone who perseveres will win.

Infinity - People who help us succeed along the way.

Success is not a solitary achievement. It is achieved with the help of others along the way.
