I say all the time, most people spend more time planning their vacations than they do planning for their businesses… And, it’s true. I get it, planning for vacation is fun for most people. Planning for your business seems like work. Hint: work is the thing that makes your business successful and allows you to…
Do you find it difficult to know what to write about or say in a video? Is developing content a struggle for you? I’m often asked how I keep putting things out year-after-year…after so many years. Want to know my secret? It’s not always easy. And, like you, I sometimes struggle with what to write…
I’m sitting at my desk watching high speed fiber being installed in my neighborhood. It’s been a process. And one that’s been kind of fun for me to watch. Talk about a system and having it perfected… It like watching human robots perform a task. From the digging to the laying and the refilling of…
If you’re sensing a theme here, this should be the last time I talk about locks at the gym for a while…I said should be because you never know what you’ll find in the locker room at the gym these days. So, no promises, but there’s no plan, at the moment, to show you any…

I love the Olympics. Everything about it! The back stories, the behind-the-scenes things you don’t know about the athletes and their struggles, what they’ve been through to get where they are always inspire me. Did you know Simone Biles was separated from her parents and placed in foster care before years later being adopted by…
School is starting in my area next week and a teacher friend of mine is putting this bulletin board up in her classroom. When she sent it to me, my immediate thought was this is applicable in business (and life), so I decided to use it – just as it is. While we don’t necessarily…
Every second counts… In your life and in your business! That might seem obvious to you… and it should. And, I see so many people – and business owners – wasting time, spinning their wheels, and thinking somebody else will solve their problems that it bears repeating. You’re responsible. You and you alone. You are…
In the business world, the dilemma of whether to blend in or stand out is critical. This decision shapes careers and influences market positions.
