As you may have seen last week, my friend and business associate Fran Harris was on Shark Tank. I’ve watched a lot of episodes of the Tank and it’s rare to see what I saw Friday night. Many times, I’m shocked at the easy questions contestants get stumped by, the things they don’t know and…
If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed I’ve been talking about the Netflix series I watched during the holidays. It’s called “All American” and it moved me in ways I can’t remember being moved in a very long time. In sports, and in business, we talk a lot about keys to…
The last newsletter of 2020… … that’s not the news I hate to tell you though! The news you don’t want to hear is that NOTHING magical is going to happen at midnight tonight! I’ve been hearing talk about how they will be glad when 2020 is over. Or when we can put this year…

It’s Day 4 of the “Your 90 Day Year” online event so we’ll be wrapping things up today with the detailed 90-day marketing plan. Each day up until now has led up to this…the most exciting part. Tomorrow will be a full day Mastermind with my Platinum and Private clients as we wrap up a…
Have you ever wished you could start over? Or does the mere mention of it make you shudder? Start Over… that’s a BIG concept! What if you thought of it as a New Beginning instead of starting over… I use the term “Start Again”! I always feel like I can start again… in the new…
