Everyday Project Management

I just wrapped up an interview with KCFV/WJXB Radio. The purpose of the show was to share how I turned my life around by mastering a technique called Cheetah Project Management. I created the attached mind map that shows how life is just a series of projects and how to achieve success by making it fast, easy and fun to do the projects of everyday life. If you’d like to learn more, check out how 30,000 other people have learned how to “be a cheetah” - using Cheetah Project Management.

Be a Cheetah

Essentially, this mind map shows how to achieve a fulfilling, successful life by “being a cheetah” - where it becomes fast, easy and fun to complete important life projects by aligning and balancing the five main areas crucial to success (think car here - to get the best gas mileage and best wear on your tires, you need to have all four wheels aligned and each tire properly balanced):

Vision - live in alignment with your life purpose and innate strengths

Service - live in service to helping others succeed through sharing your innate strengths with others.

Learning - strive for mastery in the areas that are important to you in life

Completion - completing important life projects so that you leave a legacy of excellence

Gratitude - be grateful for your own innate gifts, and the gifts of others in your life.

My twitter pal Kay Ballard shared this link with me on this guy who has 700 friends on face book, invites them all to a party and only one person shows. It reminded me of the lament from 15 or so years ago how there were 500 channels now on cable TV and there was nothing on. Why has it become a sign of your popularity how many people you have following you on facebook and twitter? Is this really any better than having 500 stations to choose from on the TV when really there is no entertaining content there?

For some reason Kay got an invite from me to join Kwippy (I didn’t send it - some how this service got my twitter list and invited everyone on it). Kay replied that she would have rather been invited to dinner. So I invited my entire twitter list to dinner - I do afterall have 1600 pounds of lean beef that I need to consume (it is going to a food bank soon). I did not get one response on my invitiation to dinner - yet got five responses thanking me for the invite to join Kwippy.

If we want interesting things to watch on cable, and we want people to come to our parties, we have to start creating interesting things to watch and have to start showing up at other people’s parties. Dare I say, I don’t think this will happen if you sit behind a computer, alone, all day long.

Got to run, my friend (in real life) Monica just showed up and we are heading to the pool.
