Today I attended a business-related seminar run by Craig Rust, author of the book "Where's the Money."

Good systems (put in writing) bring freedom... That was the main point I took away.

A few years ago I read a very good procedure on how to make a cup of tea. It was so good that it made the newspapers! At the time I was working as a document controller so I pinned it to my wall & there it stayed until I left. It always made me smile when I read it!

As a result of the seminar with Craig I will begin to write my systems down. I will have checklists for myself. This will mean I won't have to remember so much in times of pre-exhibition madness especially.

I think we were made to work best with good systems in place.

This has a wonderful feel of an inner furnace slowly bringing light and heat to the surface. The fire of passion ready to make itself known.

Thanks for your comment, Ed. I returned to the piece quite a bit before it was finished...a slow process.
