On tonight’s menu: Boiling Blood and Excitement
In honor of the upcoming Halloween Holiday, today we’ll be cooking up a fabulous combination! Don’t ask me how I came up with this one. Well, actually, yes please do.
Let me give you the recipe…
Boiling Blood: Allow something work-related to get to you. Can’t be more specific than that. I can say that proper boiling temperature is reached in the creative world when there is a matter at hand that is HUMAN-related. Yes, often times you will come across something technically-related that will definitely attempt to raise internal fluid temperature, but it will almost never reach boiling point nearly as smoothly as a little biped soup will.
If you’re looking for that extra sizzling boil, be sure to add a heap of existing stress on top of it all. The stress alone will often do it, but it most certainly helps to heighten the temperature.
How about a little appetizer? Well, I should have mentioned this first, but with a main course like Boiling Blood, it’s so easy to forget about the appetizer. Let’s back-track, shall we?
Excitement: If you want to give yourself a great start to the weekend EARLY in the week, be sure to serve up this delectable emotion as guests arrive. Perhaps earlier in the week you found yourself going crazy with all the new projects that were coming your way? Bogged down by the thought of having a MAJOR lease to sign and a MAJOR banking transaction taking place on Friday? Do something that was a first and exciting move for Ekcetera, contract new jobs out to your valuable future employee! Excitement is sure to follow once you stop and realize that while this was a major stressor and you wanted to shriek every time someone asked you a question, this is actually great news for your business. I’ve never had so much to do at once!
Well, that’s it for today, I’m off to Woodbury to enjoy some retail therapy.
Stay tuned, next, my husband teaches us how to crash a single engine plane into the ground after a busy day engineering.
Cheers!
