This week, I continued my annual ritual of reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. For the past 4 years, I have taken the time at the beginning of each to read the book to remind myself about the lessons that can be learned from this book. The book is focused on the following personal agreements made by an individual:1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
3. Don't Make Assumptions
4. Always Do Your Best
I understand that life and business can be complicated. With that being said, I think the four agreements in this book can be useful for personal and professional reasons. From a business perspective, the agreements can help to create a sustainable culture for your company.
I mention culture for a company because the culture is often overlooked during strategic planning sessions. Additionally, culture will trump strategic implementation every day of the week.
Whether you are a business development professional or a social entrepreneur these agreements can assist you.
Do you have an annual activity to begin your year?
