Your Revenue Driver
Which comes first? - Being successful in your work - or Feeling like you are a good fit for your work?
Can they be mutually exclusive?
What can training do to help someone feel like they are not a good fit?
Where can training have the most impact as it tries to help learners?
By studying top performers and attempting to define best practices for others to emulate?
or
By studying poor performers and finding the right fit for them?

We can learn a lot from someone whose life experience has been different from our own. I believe we are wiser to help someone get from where they are at - to where they want to be (or to discover the value of where they already are) than to create a hypothetical path based on what someone else did (who may have been starting from a different spot!)
Recently I had the opportunity to speak with a waiter at a local restaurant - he volunteered that on a good day he could make $100 (before taxes) and on a good week he could make $400 (before taxes.) He then volunteered that he did not have a good day or week very often. He lamented that it was nearly impossible to fall in love if you hardly ever make $400 a week. He was in his early 30's. I also have been wondering about the impact of burdensome debt to college graduates. Relieving the debt does not really solve the problem. How can we eliminate the need to go into debt without just giving things away for free? I have some ideas - do you? Will you share them? Will you call me to hear mine (hint - the idea I have really belongs to Erick Allen - and I will give him the credit if you like the idea.) My office phone number is 404-252-8330. My cell is 404-375-8411.
