Martha’s business has been experiencing rapid growth over the last year. Her gross
profit topped $500K, an increase of 18%. Martha knows that her phenomenal growth is
due to the dedication and productivity of her 5 loyal employees, who have been with her
since she started her business 3 years ago.
When she hired them, Martha promised that she would increase their wages when
the business took off. They’ve all worked very hard to make the business prosper and
Martha agrees that it’s time to reward their loyalty. She plans to announce their raise at the
next board meeting.
It comes to her attention that Peter, her marketing manager, is being headhunted by
her biggest competitor, Big Corp. Big Corp is offering Peter twice the salary she’s paying
him. Even taking her planned raise in consideration, there is no way Martha can match Big
Corp’s offer. She really does not want to lose Peter, but she also has to think about her
other employees, who deserve their raise just as much as he does.

There are a variety of tools I use in my journal, for example list making, clustering, letters,
free writing and character sketches.
Often times, I discover that journal will give me the clarity to understand the true issues in a
problem as well as a fresh perspective. And, journal writing gives me confidence to handle
every business decision knowing that I have thoroughly explored all options and
perspectives in my journal first.
