Lesson #1: Find Something That Gets You Excited
“You have to be committed, and you have to find something that you are passionate about,” says Gardiner. “And forget about money. I’ve learned that money is the least significant aspect of wealth.”

Dinner at Ron's
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a dinner at Ron and Miri Gutman's home in San Francisco. Ron is the Founder & CEO of Wellsphere, and he and Miri were the perfect hosts. I had a BLAST cutting wood before the dinner. I went for a great run and came back to find a stack of wood, which Ron caught me chopping. It felt like when I was a kid and dad and I used to do it back home.

Always on (everybody markets)
I walked past a private dinner being given at a restaurant in New York last night. Perhaps forty people, listening to an after-dinner speaker.

How to Avoid 4 Key Sales Objections
As you’re holding a sales conversation with a potential client there are three conversations going on. The outward verbal conversation between the two of you, the inward conversation in the potential clients mind, and the one you’re having in your mind. Currently you monitor two of those three conversations.

I Just Called to See How Things are Going
This is a sad story. Sad but true. It was a real conversation, ostensibly a sales conversation. This sales conversation, and many others just like it, are happening all over the world. I recount this sad sales conversation here in hope that we may all learn from it:
How to Begin a Conversation
Successful people are dynamic communicators. Dynamic communicators have mastered three basic communication skills: conversation, writing and presenting. Inviting people to participate in a conversation and getting their agreement before jumping in is an important, but often overlooked conversation skill. People who are invited to join a conversation, and choose to do so, are more likely to be better participants. If you want to become an excellent conversationalist, take a few minutes to explain why you want to have a conversation. Ask the other person if he or she has the time and is willing to participate in a conversation on that topic. Your conversations will be better and more productive if you follow this simple common sense advice.
You Have the Right to...Ask for Help!
You Have the Right to...Ask for Help! In my seminars I often tease that some women believe they were born with a tattoo that says, "I can do it all"...or "I must do it all." I then ask for someone to show me that tattoo. Although we all laugh, it's not a laughing matter. The sad fact is that 67 percent of working mothers in America come home and make dinner all by themselves. Worse yet, 72 percent of them clean up after dinner, again all by themselves. Let's look at the younger generation. My children have known since they were small that there's no such thing as the "Kitchen Fairy." Food doesn't magically

I’m Looking for a Hero
The sound of laughter ringing out from the dining room where some friends are having dinner together, a simple thing, but something that has been a long time coming back into my life, only because the barriers I put up to keep the pain out, also kept the joy out as well. Simple conversation and general chit-chat mixed with good feelings, comfortable surroundings and the odd vino or two made a Friday eve not just the end of yet another week, into something great and memorable.
Monthly Dinner With My Brother
Last night I had dinner with my brother Daniel, one of the partners at Slice of Lime, a Boulder-based web design and development firm. He and I were at TechStars at the end of the day where I gave a talk on “How To Be A CEO.” Afterwards, we had a nice dinner together at The Cheesecake Factory (his choice – I don’t think I’d been there in a decade – and it was surprisingly good), a great talk, and dynamite brother hang out time.
Accept Responsibility in Every Conversation - or Be a Victim
Our choice in every conversation, every day, is to accept responsibility for the result or be a victim. Accepting responsibility requires three skills: Planning Every Conversation, Speaking the other Person's Language, and Using Responsible Listening to Control the Conversation.
Interested in Leadership, or Committed to Becoming a Leader?
Many managers in leadership roles have stunted personal growth. Their "years of leadership experience and learning" is formal education (usually technical and/or management) followed by a year or two of experience multiplied twenty or thirty times. Here's an all too typical dinner conversation I had with a senior manager in the middle of a two-day improvement workshop I was running with a senior management team. The company was in crisis. It was struggling just to stay even in its industry.
