I had the pleasure of attending WIC’s general meeting last Thursday, where Kate Purmal shared insights into how we can make 2010 our best year yet…without breaking our necks! I particularly like that last part!
As part of the networking exercise, everyone was asked to answer the following question:
If you could choose between the following, which would you choose:
- You double your revenue in 2010 but work the same amount of time
- You keep your revenue at the current level but work half the time
- Your revenue and the amount of time you work remain the same but your projects are 2x more satisfying
That was a tough one for me. I want to keep my revenue at the current level and work half the time (I have a young daughter)—but I also want the projects to be 2x more satisfying. An overwhelming amount of Thursday’s attendees voted to double their revenue but work the same amount of time.
What would you choose?

Sales Boot Camp
If the presentation whet your appetite and you’d like to take your sales to the next level, Kate has an upcoming Sales Boot Camp on February 18, 2010. The one-day workshop is $495 for WIC meeting attendees.
In the workshop, Kate digs deeper on several topics from the WIC meeting:

– And much more

This is certainly my initial stop by and I really like what I’m seeing. Your weblog is so much fun to look over, quite compelling as well as informative. I’ll undoubtedly recommend it to my friends. Nevertheless, I did have some problem with the commenting. It kept giving me an problem whenever I clicked on publish comment. I hope, that can be fixed. Many thanks
