Kaizen (改善), is the Japanese word for “improvement”. Kaizen refers to activities that continually improve all functions as it may relate to business or our life.
Goals give us purpose. Of course, your goals need to be aligned with your values.

Small Tests and Experiments
A Podcast by Leigh Martinuzzi
“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” Ralph Waldo EmersonI believe the quality of our life depends on the experiences we have. The constructionist theory suggests that humans, as we exist today, are a genuine melody of all past experiences, determining not only how we act and behave but how well we live. What we do next will shape our future well-being.
Experimenting and testing is the best way I know to seek out and deploy new experiences in life. It will allow you to mitigate risks and reduce those barriers to entry. Experience is what will shape the future paths we walk and ultimately the quality of life we live.
