Trim The Fat

We all don't like it when the holidays come and we're overweight. (And you're gonna hate me for this next statement.) I started dieting about 6 weeks ago. It wasn't to lose weight so much (and it really had nothing to do with the holidays coming ~ but that works). It was mostly because my pants were getting a bit tight around the belt buckle (ouch). I'm happy to say that's no longer a problem.

It got me to thinking how easy it is for any of us to become overweight ("fat") in other areas, too ~ and especially in how we approach our career. It's easy to accumulate "pounds." Here's what I mean. It happens when we're doing things and we're just doing them to be doing them. And we're not really gaining any business. And we're not really moving forward very much. (In some cases, we may even be going backward.) And yet we continue investing time and energy (and money?) in the wrong direction. Trim the fat.
