The answer is found in the simple, yet profound, statement by a Vietnamese monk, Thich Naht Hahn: “The path is the goal.” ​ In other words, finding your path in life is your goal in life.

Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
I stopped this idea of paying for an hour. It’s outdated. Consultancy as we know it is dead. But many consultants have not realized of that. Paying by the hour encourages inefficiency. It’s easy. Lazy. Change a monthly salary for monthly hours at a rate. Sounds familiar. But it’s wrong. Knowledge cannot be measure in hours. You have it. And you can present it in seconds… not hours.
