Rolling Into The World: Henry Ford Is Born
| |
| “I was born on July 30, 1863, on a farm at Dearborn, Michigan, and my earliest recollection is that, considering the results, there was too much work on the place.” Even as a child, Henry Ford had an eye for innovation. It was this ability to recognize shortcomings and set out to solve them that led Ford to create Ford Motor Co. in 1903, not only revolutionizing the transport industry but also making him one of the richest men in the world. |

Your Hardware Selection Depends on

You would think as our technology becomes more advanced it would also become more simplified but that just isn't happening. We keep introducing new products (sometimes boldly called category killers) and then somehow people figure out how to add more features, more capabilities, more everything all to show you don't need the other guy's thing. Doesn't happen instead we have more -- of everything! We have more notebooks, more netbooks, more tablets, more smartphones, more plain old phones, just more!! So we get a bigger backpack and add the new category killer with the earlier category killers. All we have to do is figure out who's environment we're working in from time to time |

The Five Stages of Partnership
| |
| All partnerships, and all relationships for that matter, go through five predictable stages.

An Organized Environment
| |
| Having an organized environment really helps adults with ADHD feel calm, focused and able to function at their peak. However, having ADHD also means achieving and maintaining an organized environment is really hard. One of the biggest challenges is the accumulation of clutter. In my book, Untapped Brilliance, I have a chapter about achieving a clean, tidy and organized environment and I am always interested to learn more about this subject so I can in turn pass the information on to my clients. It was with fascination that I read organization guru Julie Morgenstern’s book SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life: A Four-Step Guide to Getting Unstuck. |

What is coaching all about anyway?
| |

However, when doing presentations like these, a major component is talking about what coaching is and what benefits it’s provides. I also used the opportunity to launch a new program. The new program is called “Inspired Living”. There will be more about this program later |

| Giant or double sided Chupa Chups, Barbapapas, Lomo cameras,
fascination with 70’s cult series and heroes, champagne with a straw,
resurgence of retro-brands such as Adidas or Converse, comfort food and
fluffy toys… Kidults, adulescents, rejuveniles, mid youth rebellion… call it
what you want, but any magazine editor or marketing expert will tell you:
we’re living in an increasingly ageless society. A growing number of adults
all over the world is embracing and adopting the culture of teenagers and
children as never before. Judging from our recent visits to Paris fashion
and home ware tradeshows, this widespread trend is here to stay and is
affecting many areas of life and businesses. So how can your brand
address the consumers’ inner child?

Compensating Our Sales Folks
| |
| Our continued fascination with making an appointment as a precursor to making a sale is based on the belief that a buyer will buy based on the strength of the presentation. And although we get extremely low closing rates, we continue to do it and often throw more sellers at the problem, doing the same activity. That’s the definition of insanity! |
