QC Votes!

The Quarterly Compass is all about accountability; holding yourself accountable for the promises you make, having someone else watching and encouraging you, and actually following through on your goals.

Our country's founders realized this fact and implemented accountability into the very core of our government back in the 1700s! I believe, due to this very fact, that United States citizens live in the greatest country the planet has ever known. On Tuesday, November 2, 2010 we have the opportunity to VOTE and hold our own government officials (senators, congressmen, governors, etc) accountable for the things they are doing. Elections have consequences and we must not let the priciples of "Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness" be stolen from us by irresponsible politicians.

Please take this seriously and go out and vote for the candidate that you believe will keep this nation the greatest nation on earth, as established by our founders!

QC Financial Life

I am reading an excellent new book by Dr. David Jeremiah called The Coming Economic Armageddon regarding the falling US economy, and the "global economy". In it, he says of the debt virus; "the most noticeable evidence of financial contagion is the continued borrowing of money by governments for the purpose of living beyond their means."

I believe the US can come back from the brink of this economic disaster, just as I believe each one of us can recover from financial disaster. QC members can use The QC to track financial goals, and can even help create habits allowing them to live within their means.

If you are a member, why not add to your Financial Life goals: "Review my family budget with my spouse 1 x per week"?

Sun Stand Still

Wow, I saw a sermon preached by pastor and author Steven Furtick this week. In his book Sun Stand Still his challenge was "If the size of your vision for your life isn't intimidating to you, there's a good chance it is insulting to God." He was preaching from Joshua 10.

Are you being challenged to do great things for God by those close to you, by your vision for yourself? If you are not, you will want to read this book, then log in to your QC and set some audacious goals! Click here to go to the link to watch this sermon.

Start Of A New Quarter 2010

Welcome to the New Quarter! Now that the 4th Quarter of 2010 has started, it is a great time to start accomplishing your 4th Quarter QC goals.

Sergio Zyman was once the Chief Marketing Officer for Coca-Cola. In his book The End Of Marketing As We Know It, Zyman says "...it is much more efficient to build relationships with consumers and then work on getting the people who know you to buy more stuff than it is to go out and find new consumers."

Why not ask yourself how this may apply to your life, your family, your business, your relationships? Then why no act on it by setting up a QC goal like "Focus on one current relationship this week" ?
