Anatomy of a Vision Statement
We can do many things well, but we can't do all things well. A carefully considered and articulated vision helps us know who we are and who we aren't, what we do successfully and what we don't, what we should take on and what we should gladly drop. The alternative - mindless meandering - is a sorry fate.

Free Sales Content - Use at Your Own Risk
I can't count and may not even know about all of the portals now on the web that feature subject matter experts, content, free downloads, articles and tips from people like me. It's generally a good thing, at first, until someone like me loses control of his intellectual property - the articles I write.
Book Signings Are Your Best Friends
So you’ve written a book, had it published and you are now facing the dreaded book signing or book launch. Your palms sweat at the thought of facing droves of people and actually having to talk to them. You are a writer, not a salesperson, right? Wrong! If you do not have the guts and determination to sell your own work, then why should anyone else do it for you?

Guts and Passion
I like the expression “ Go out on the limb that’s where the fruit is”. However, after reading excerpts of Leadership Wired’s interview with author and leadership expert Kevin Freiberg, I now know that real guts is planting a whole new friggin’ tree-that’s never been planted before. Freiberg’s most recent book is titled “Guts! Companies that Blow the Doors off Business- as- usual”. Below is a taste of something different, something we all can learn from.

“For god’s sake, please stop the aid” …..to Africa?
I was moved by an old article by Ethan Zuckerman on aid to Africa that he capture during the TED conference in Tanzania Last year in which he captured views of a Kenyan economist on Aid and opportunity to Africa. Below are excerpts from the article:

Leadership in Difficult Times - Lessons learned from President Obama

The Power of an Impossible Mission
I was sitting on one of the park bench at the top of Little Glassy Mountain at Connemara, Carl Sandburg's former home, when it hit me. I'd been reading excerpts from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones, and was pleasantly surprised to find a connection between Hill's "definiteness of purpose" and Goldberg's essay on the power of our obsessions.
Tolerance
Have you ever read something that failed to impact you and then - upon re-reading the same thing - you find it to be revolutionary? This happened to me recently with a book by Napoleon Hill. This particular book contains a lot of excerpts from that legendary writer and speaker. There was an essay entitled "Tolerance" that I know I have read more than once, but for whatever reason, I had not found it to be memorable.
