Today, The Best Day of My Life
Stating, “This is the best day of my life” may sound unusual but if we consider the basis of it we realize it is a truth that cannot be debated. We are living in no other day except this one and have only it to spend.

Help for Surviving Current Recession
Surviving current recession is a burden we all are facing, some more so than others. With more unemployment, lower wages and higher living expenses people are concerned about getting through these tough financial times.

Just Say No!
Why is it so hard for some of us to say No?
Easing out of Recession not so Easy for Small Service Companies
Very recently, several of my clients have begun sharing that their sales have turned up over the last couple months. Yeah, finally! Since I talk to business owners every day, and no one has expressed that sales are getting worse, this constitutes a trend, albeit an unscientific one. But, hey, any good news brings a sigh of relief at this point.

Write Your Own Story
I’ve spoken and written about leaving a legacy; what we as individuals do for the betterment of more than simply ourselves. However, what we all must realize is that a legacy is built everyday. It is built in the choices and moments that seem to have no consequence, the moments that are filled with tedious details, questioning and bouts with the reins of persistence as we do all we can to stay on track. A legacy is more than a trust fund or a inheritance, a summer house, or even a college endowment. Your legacy is the story of your everyday. What you do with the hours, minutes and seconds that you own, because they are your own.

Cold Barn Warms Me To The Bones! Can Blessings Really Warm More Than Our Hearts?!
Most of us believe a special blessing can warm our hearts. But do you think savoring a blessing, really capturing it, can actually warm our bodies? At least for a little while?! Read about my experience, think about one of your own 'toasty' times and then you can decide what you think. Here's my 'toasty' time story... I was just tweeting about getting myself all 'psyched up' to get 'bundled' up to head outside into the freezing cold. It was chore time, a.k.a. dinner time. Our barnful of big, furry and feathery pets needed hay, grain and water-again. More feeding times and harder work now that winter was here and the pastures were all covered with snow. Because I was so snuggled up and because it was colder tonight, I knew it was going to be tougher to get going this time. But I knew I had to go. I started lifting my blanket..
Stepping out of the comfort zone & Building the Business

The “Back to Basics” - The Three R’s
In turbulent times, we do well to re-assess basics: Where are we, and where do we want to go. Our re-assessment may uncover nothing … or silver-linings on the edges of dark clouds. What we uncover depends largely on our attitude. Studies indicate that attitude determines as much as 88% of success. Positive attitude is critical for leaders, managers, salespeople … everyone who wants to keep learning and earning!

The Serendipity Factor
Incredible things happen independently of those you personally create. I call these serendipitous blessings. When you're pushing hard on door A, someone or something opens door B. Often, when you look through door B, what's behind it is much better than what you were going after in the first place. However, you wouldn't have seen door B open if you hadn't been in the hall pushing on door A. Get in the here and now and look for the other opened doors, or go open some doors on your own.

Important "Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
One strategic action that I encourage all my clients to take is to look at any undesired or unplanned outcome of their efforts with a keen eye and a mindset toward identifying the “lessons learned” from the experience. The strongest and most effective leaders have the ability to commit to identifying and acting upon those “lessons learned.” And I believe leaders take a totally different view of failures that are experienced in their businesses and in their personal lives. The following is a quote from Denis Watley that I believe provides a strong confirmation of my belief about failure. “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”

Don’t Be Fearful, Be Thankful
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday: here’s why...
