Want more clients? Want to make more money? One word… C-L-A-R-I-T-Y! People follow people who are clear in their vision, mission and purpose. Money follows clarity. Think about it… Isn’t it easier to invest and spend money when you know what you’re buying? AND in certain situations, all you have to know is the vision…
I often write notes during presentations, while reading books, and other things I attend or see. I was looking back through some of them this weekend and found this quote… “You’re not stuck because you can’t… You’re stuck because you won’t!” That sounds like something I would say. Which is I’m sure why I jotted…
It was the first Sunday of the new year. It was raining and wet and we were under a flood warning. Gosh, I didn’t want to get out in that mess… so I decided to “attend” church via livestream… I didn’t even bother to get out of bed. I was laying there with my eyes…
I did something I almost never do… I took the last two weeks of the year off. Not entirely, I did a few phone calls and answered emails but that was about it. I watched movies. I read. I spent time with some of the most special people in my life. I slept. I rested….

Are you living your dream or somebody else’s? How’s that for hitting you square in the forehead today? I heard this question over the weekend, and it took my breath away a little bit. It reminded me of a conversation I recently had with a plumber who was at my house fixing a water geyser…
It’s the middle of November (almost). Thanksgiving is just a couple weeks away. The weather’s getting colder (or cooler… depending on where you live). Christmas and the December holidays are right around the corner. That means parties and more time with family and friends. The natural tendency is to start to pull back a little…
Do you have “reasons”, or do you recognize when you’re making excuses? You might call them reasons, but in my experience, many times we make excuses instead of taking ownership… especially when things go wrong. Many of us talk about being real or taking ownership but it’s sometimes harder to do than it is to…
I spent last weekend in Ohio where I grew up. Surrounded by fields of corn and soybeans and open spaces. With friends and family and my love. It was a great long weekend. It took me back to my roots a little bit. While I was there, I was reminded of some of my core…
