Measuring results isn’t always easy. Let’s take my situation here in the hospital. The nurses, physicians and support team are all surprised and amazed at my health and attitude throughout my chemotherapy treatments. Beyond two short and slight fevers, plus a few rashes, and my hair loss I’ve had no real outward consequences from the chemotherapy. Yet never confuse efforts with results.

Since hearing Darren Hardy speak about the Compound Effect and the discipline required for success I’ve been working on establishing the rituals he recommended. Although I’ve considered myself to be a pretty disciplined person, the disciplines Hardy describes require a tenacity and determination that few are willing to follow.

A weekend ago I was in Port Washington spending time with my oldest son, his wife and my grandchild, Sophia Daniela . I’m a grandfather for the first time, with two sons at home twelve and fifteen. Watching my two youngest boys, my wife, my oldest son, and his wife enthralled with this young darling of 6 weeks was amazing. It brought back emotional memories of when my three sons were all little and how important they were to me at that time. For my oldest and his wife Kim, Sophia was all they could talk about. If you’ve had children you know a baby completely changes your life, not only your schedule but how you prioritize. Can you remember how children changed your life? Chances are you can’t now. Become a grandfather, and you’ll suddenly be enlightened again. It was what this visit was about. To meet her. To get to know her. To give her our love.

Is it comforting to know that even the big guys get things wrong when it comes to customer experience? Maybe I'm daft, but yesterday when I attempted to replace my old wireless router with a new Linksys [Cisco] wireless router there seemed to be a clear disconnect between what the customer might experience and Linksys efforts to resolve potential problems.
