Yesterday, marketing guru Seth Godin posted ten questions worth asking about work:

What are you doing that’s difficult?

What are you doing that people believe only you can do?

Who are you connecting?

What do people say when they talk about you?

What are you afraid of?

What’s the scarce resource?

Who are you trying to change?

What does the change look like?

Would we miss your work if you stopped making it?

What do you stand for?

What contribution are you making?

These are some great questions. They imply that work can be about more than just doing a job. Questions of fear and change and connection speak to the heart about things that matter.

It’s been a busy week for me . . . the busiest week of my year, really. But I believe it is good work, and I’m thankful for it. Godin and his questions help keep me in line . . . in the right direction. That’s a good thing, for sure.
