Why are you settling for mediocre?

Nothing mediocre...you deserve better.

As I write this there are 16 days left in 2011. How was your year? For me it’s been a very trying year, both business and personal challenges have reared their ugly heads this year and both have been faced and brought under control… thankfully.

All around me I’ve been listening to the media, other business owners, relatives and friends many spewing doom and gloom and casting enough blame for their circumstances on anyone and everyone.

It is at this time of year…every year…that I take time to reflect on the highs and lows of the year past and prepare for what’s ahead in the new year. In doing this exercise, I once again find that if the results sucked there is only ONE person to blame or chastise…ME. In your case…YOU.

Other people can create circumstances and throw challenges in our path Read More→

Everyone in the world has exactly the same numbers to work with, 24 hours in a day, 168 hours in a week and 8,736 hours in a year.

Interestingly that even though we all start out on equal footing, a few will use their time in ways that advance their careers, improve their personal relationships, improve their health and increase their overall level of success. Yet others will stagnate and complain, distance themselves from others, only communicate via Facebook® and texting, gain a few pounds eating cheese puffs in their pajamas in front of the television, get to the next level of some video game and ultimately fall farther behind the forward moving pack.

Why is that? Read More→

New Year…New Direction ?

As 2010 is winding to a close it’s time to reflect on what was, what could have been and what will be in the year ahead.

We’ve dealt with a sluggish economy, clients who opted not to initiate projects, governmental regulation changes, team members who had family members laid off, perhaps you faced the need to downsize your staff as well. All in all, not one of the better years for business owners. Read More→

“They do it too…” (not a valid excuse)

I just finished reading a very silly sports article about the whole NY Jets tripping ‘scandal’…what?!

A New York Jets coach blatantly tripped a Miami player the other day, he was fined $25,000 and suspended for the remainder of the season. Crime – punishment…no scandal.

The issue that I have with the whole event is the example it sends to the kids. Up until now, they saw bad behavior being punished correctly…now we have a new lesson to teach, one of responsibility. Read More→

Want to make an impression, forget email…pick up a pen.

I don’t know about you but I have a love -hate relationship with email. I get about 300 inbound emails a day, about half of them get caught in the SPAM filter and the rest end up on my computer and now my iPhone.

I love the fact that I can quickly review emails almost anyplace and anytime. I love the fact that I can answer some while waiting in line, during delays at airports and the like.

I hate the fact that most people don’t take put any time at all into their use of this form of communication…typoes, mispellings (both done on purpose), incomplete thoughts, random questions all sent easily with the push of a button clogging up all of our in-boxes and schedules as we bail ourselves out from under the deluge.
