Changed Life
"Still don't know what I was waiting for, and my time was running wild" - lyrics from "Changes" by David Bowie A lot of people are afraid of change. Most people despise change. Some people simply won't change. The very word change sends shivers down most of our spines. It kindles feelings of uncertainty and creates visions of worlds with which we have no comfort. Personally, I think change has a bad rap. Really, if we could comprehend what change represents and considered the alternative, I think a lot more of us would be [...]
You Have To Ask
I'm sure you've heard it said before that there's no such thing as a dumb question. I disagree. Kinda... I always tell people that there is indeed such thing as a dumb question. In fact there is one question that is the king of all dumb question. You haven't heard it, I'm sure. Because to me the real dumb question, the only truly dumb question is the one that is never asked. Here's some solid advice that you can apply to both your professional and your personal life in order to become wiser and more successful: Ask [...]
Let’s Do This!
So, I need to post 16 more times to this blog, after this one, in the next 11 hours in order to complete the 30 Blogs in 30 Days Challenge. If you haven't been reading lately, the reason I find myself in such a terrific hole, is that I have been in the process of moving for the last two weeks, and for about a week and a half of that time was completely off line. So, after having finished the 30 Day Challenge in my first attempt, I now find myself in a pickle as I try to make it two in a row. The 30 Day Challenge is one that has been [...]
Mother’s Day Tribute
It's impossible to express the thanks to our mothers to the degree that they deserve it. Moms are just the greatest people on the planet. It's as simple as that. Of course I wanted to post and say Happy Mother's Day to my own mom, who throughout my life has always been there, always cared, and continually provided a foundation of security, love, forgiveness, and support that is unmatched in this universe. I also want to say Happy Mother's Day and a huge thank you to my wonderful wife, who has made our home the greatest place on [...]
The Speed of Success
"Fortune favors the bold" - Latin proverb 'The universe likes speed" - Dr. Joe Vitale There is a great distinction to be made between making a hasty or rash decision and taking immediate inspired action. One can lead to regret and some lousy ramifications, and the other can lead to amazing achievement and unrivaled success. Knowing the difference is the beginning of wisdom. Acting on that knowledge is pure genius. I have talked to thousands of business owners in my life, and I've had the good fortune to have been instrumental in [...]
Take Five
I was sitting in my office yesterday and I noticed an employee from another company within the building outside my window. Yes, I'm ground floor. Not the corner penthouse, yet... Anyway, the guy was pacing around and reading from what looked to be a religious book. He was walking back and forth, rather quickly and was reading the words out loud. It occurred to me that if it was indeed some inspirational text that he was reading from, he was really making it meaningful. And it was great to watch. I mean, look, sitting in a [...]
Out of Touch?
I wonder if it's still possible for me to complete the 30 blogs in 30 days challenge...? I started off in fine shape, posting 7 blogs in the first 9 days (about my usual pace), but then found myself in a bit of transition. For the last two weeks I have been in the process of moving, and, as frightening as this may sound, was actually off line during most of that time...EEEEK! Just so you know, if you have yet to wander away from the internet for any extended period of time...it isn't as bad as you might think. Well, unless you're in [...]
