South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 chance to show that they can be productive and do the job. These people that were not investing in will remain in our community tears down the community we have invested in. Know too many times we invest money in projects and don’t know where it’s going or how it is spent and that is bad management. So I’m not just asking you to keep to keep investing and not seeing the fruits. I’m asking you to see our community dollars at work. See the progress in people you thought would never be worth investing in. I believe when you see our community with people building families, buying homes, crime rates going down and the money we were going to spend building our community coming naturally from productive citizen. The commissioner and the community will say money well spent. Know I’ve just told you about what Project Impact does and stand for. Know let me tell you what it’s done for me personally. It’ has transformed the way I feel and think. It’s changed my bad habits and behavior to good ones. It has stretched my thinking further than shallow thoughts I used to have. I’ve always had great ideals to be successful. But what I got from Project Impact was the motivation and desire that I was lacking. I know now how to set goals and give them a time table. I know now that if you don’t change things they will remain the same. And also to keep focused. There are two major components I have learned in Project Impact one being the 7 Habits of Highly Defective People. I won’t get into all of them but my favorite is sought first to understand them to be under stood probably because that one was a part of me already. But the other I was using the major one was the four Quadrants 1- Urgent and Important. 2 -Not urgent but important. 55
