Clarity Eliminates Confusion
Have you noticed we live in an age when what you hear and see is not necessarily happening? It seems our shorter attention spans and social media have elevated attention-grabbing to the point where it overtakes the clarity of the message. One of my mentors is Donald Miller, the creator of Story Brand. He says, […]
Painting Your Way to Success
My wife and I are settling into our home, and she has assigned herself to paint every inch of the house. Not because we couldn’t hire somebody to do the job. Strangely, it’s because she loves to paint. I’ll admit that I’ve felt a little guilty leaving her with a rolling brush and a couple […]
Relative Time Management
In my entire life, I’ve always found it interesting that there never seems to be enough time in the day. Still, most days, everything seems to get done. If it doesn’t, the world didn’t come to an end, and I survived to check off another item from my to-do list tomorrow. I know I’m not […]
Leaders Look For Conflict
I admit that the title, ‘Leaders Look for Conflict,’ might be a bit over-the-top. But, I know that you want to be a better leader. I also know that you hate and don’t want anything to do with conflict – especially since I can hear you saying — “Why can’t we all get along?” I […]
Stoic Happiness
I’m a fan of Stoic Philosophy. While it may be over 2,000 years old, its practicality is still useful. These rules to live by will help you have a happier life: 1. If you’re going to learn and succeed, be humble. There is always someone smarter, more successful, and wiser. 2. Find the right scene. […]
Decision-Making Accelerator
No matter what you desire in your life, everything starts as a thought in your mind. It will demand your attention. You have three options: 1) Deny it and keep moving. 2) Accept it and put it into action. 3) Delay it and drive yourself crazy. Deny it. Deal with it. Delay it. The quality […]
Questions To Ponder
Focus is important as you move forward. Answering these questions will help: 1) What do you want to do? 2) What do you want to have? 3) Where do you want to go? 4) What contribution do you want to make? 5) What do you want to become? 6) What do you want to learn? […]
Always a Way
When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked? I used to be that way. Something changed. I learned a long time ago that getting blocked was going to be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations – or […]
Get What You Want
I just got off the phone with a client. We were chatting about getting moving. She said, “That’s the hardest part! I need help getting off my butt.” She’s not alone. Getting what you want comes down to pure physics: 1) An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays at […]
More Opportunity
Do you sometimes feel stuck and overwhelmed? Feeling as if there is nothing you can do? It happens to everybody. You are not alone. However, people who break free understand three things: 1) Everything in life is temporary. Good or bad, nothing lasts forever. 2) No matter how stuck you feel, there is always more […]
