Agile Business Navigator

If you've heard of Stephen Covey and the metaphor he uses to describe time management, boulders, rocks and pebbles then please read on for a different take.

Have you ever felt trapped by a business situation, it saps your energy, weighs you down and has grown far beyond being enjoyable? Yet, you still continue to participate in it, you fear its demise, you depend on it for cash or some other value. Going back to the boulders, rocks and pebbles. Stephen Covey tells us to get a jar (metaphorically speaking), put in the big rocks, then the smaller rocks and the tiniest rocks. In life, this equates to putting the important things first. Let's take it another step. By leaving in rocks that no longer serve us, we leave out room for the important things.

Sometimes, it takes courage to leave our boulders behind, the ones that aren't working for us anymore. By leaving something behind, we free up room for more important things.
