The Makings of a King: The Early Years of King Gillette
He had spent his entire life tinkering with ideas, most of which the rest of the world would call him crazy for. It was not until King Gillette was in his 40s that he would patent and begin to sell his disposable safety razor. It was an invention that made him a household name and revolutionized the shaving industry in the process. Today, Global Gillette continues to rank as one of the most dominant brands in the industry.

You're not that interesting!
Truth: You're not exciting or interesting enough for your customers go to the trouble of seeking you out. Why should they? You're predictable, measurable and safe - just like all your competitors. Your insights are second hand and you don't bring any WOW factor to the table. In fact, you're at the dinner table but you have nothing of any value to say.

Should A Home Based Business Be Part Of Your Retirement Plan
There was a time when the average person did not need to worry about their retirement future. You went to work every day and spent the better part of your adult life working for the same company. When the time came you were handed a gold watch a guarantee of a monthly pension check.
Rituals: The Fabric of a High-performing Team
As illustrated in my book, Passionate Performance, our rituals create the fabric of our culture, and they are critical for defining connections within our teams. Once we establish deeply ingrained team rituals, we view them as “the way we do things around here.” We can create rituals around recognition, performance, accomplishments, service, learning, etc. Whatever form the ritual takes, it creates connections. Effective rituals connect our team members to each other and to the leader. Select rituals that fit your style and the chemistry of your team. It has to feel comfortable and natural to be effective.

How to Enroll clients into $125K Coaching Program
Do people really pay $125K for a coaching program? The answer is YES! Most entrepreneurs market their higher cost products the most, hoping their clients and customers will start at the top and then make the smaller purchases later. Have you considered turning this approach up side down?

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.

Tell Them Why They Should Buy
A billboard caught my attention. It was a cut-away shot of a new minivan - the one with the pop-up table in the back. The billboard showed the interior of the van with four captain's chairs encircling the pop-up table with a headline that said "Your Table Is Served".

How To Use Articles To Increase Search Engine Position
One of the best ways to get a top search engine position is through articles. How do articles do this? As an example, say you were to approach a table with 5 people in a restaurant. You ask the table "Are any of you a musician?" and one person raises his hand. You will probably take his word. On the other hand, if everybody at the table points to that person, you are even more likely to take their word for it. That is how search engines work.
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

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.

DUMB Goals
In 1981, G.T. Doran coined the term SMART Goals. Smart stood for, Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Realistic, and Time Bound. This article is about my set of DUMB goals that could be added. A lot has changed in 30 years, and we live in a different world. For example, 30 years ago we communicated mostly by using our mouth and ears, rather than our thumb and eyes. In 1981, the word "green " was a color, rather than a corporate mandate. Back then, families actually sat at the dinner table together with no cell phones.
