Don’t Break Your Success Chain
I’ll never forget the day a friend called and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse – and I didn’t. Rob was an event promoter who had snagged the chance to book an up-and-coming comedian named Jerry Seinfeld into a local venue. He needed somebody to warm up the audience and introduce Jerry. I was […]
How To Make Change in 2025
As we get into the New Year, I’ve noticed that people are getting back to their old ways. That’s okay. It’s a journey. But what is that journey? Winston Churchill said, “To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.” And it helps if you understand the stages of change: […]

Are You Listening To Your Calling
I’m not sure how you feel about the Universe and how things work in the world, but does the Universe speak to you? I can’t tell you if the ‘Universe’ stands alone or if ‘God’ created the ‘Universe’ and runs the show. That’s above my pay grade. What I can say is this. We live […]
