When somebody asks you if you’re alright, or says “how are you doing” do you automatically, without thinking tell them you’re good, or ok? “How’s business?” You reply, “it’s good (or great).” “How are you doing?” You say, “I’m good, how about you?” “Are you ok?” You respond, “Yea, I’m good.” Or “I’m fine.” Sound…
Agree or Disagree? I saw this posted several times on social media in the last week or so and every time, people jump on the bandwagon of agreeing with this statement. Except me… My response was if you really feel that way, you’re doing something wrong! Very wrong… My guess is most of the people…
It’s college softball tournament time and last weekend was the first round of regionals. Friday evening I tuned in to watch my alma mater, the University of Missouri (Mizzou), play their first game. They were ranked #7 and should have easily beaten Omaha – who was unranked. Well, they play the games for a reason……
I was at the gym this morning – I’m not usually a morning exerciser, I prefer to go in the afternoon, and before the after-work crowd. I was between sets on the bench press when it hit me that I had prioritized my health this morning. I’m teaching a class today at 4pm and because…

They were asking specifically whether you needed a separate list for prospects and current clients. The answer is yes… You need to know who your target is for each and…
Nothing like this time of the year to make me nostalgic… College sports seem to bring that out in me. Especially women’s college sports. Attending the Women’s Final Four has been a thrill the last two years. Earlier this week I watched the WNBA draft for the first time ever. And, watching college softball on…
We talked a lot about shifting and pivoting during Covid… for obvious reasons. And I’m still hearing a lot about shifting and/or pivoting in private conversations with business owners and entrepreneurs. Especially those who have been in business for 10, 15, 20 years or more. It seems like there’s a phenomenon that happens when you…
April showers… Spring… The start of the second quarter of the year… All that! And… College Basketball’s Final 4! This is one of my most favorite times of the year. I love most sports. These days, I’m mostly watching… And I find myself more excited than usual for this years Women’s Final 4. There have…
