What’s a friend worth to you?
It’s a nice marketing stunt, but that’s all it is: a stunt. The long term value is not pending for most of us (John will probably pull a miracle out of it). So the question, then, is not how many friends you have, but how many significant interactions you have with customers, prospects, partners, and colleagues. How can you share 1 more today?

Heres a Source I Forgot
Lunch with Jack Singer at a new Italian place today gave me the chance to ask him how he started to prospect. Jack's a fund and stock broker who brought his family here from South Africa about a decade ago. Over there he was a druggist, so there were few skills to transfer, other than his business acumen, but no prospects or clients.

Market Research: Living in the Real World of Business Depends on Comments from the Real World
In the feature film Sliding Doors, I found myself fascinated by a conversation between two friends. Gerry had just been discovered by his girl friend as he was having an affair in their bedroom. Gerry's friend laughs at him and reminds Gerry that he had told him weeks ago that the affair would end without Gerry having to do anything. Gerry's friend asks him, "Do you want my opinion?" Gerry replies, "Am I going to like it?" With a chuckle, his friend responds with, "No. It's based on reality."

To know yourself, know your shadow
It is a common experience. You speak to a friend about some strong negative feelings you have about someone else. Your friend, being a true friend, says, "but aren't you a bit like that too?" You of course don't like to hear this, but it gets you thinking. Maybe you can be a bit like it too. That's a useful admission since it then helps you to manage that characteristic in yourself. This is the sort of self-awareness that is crucial to our growth, to get that the people in our lives are in some way a mirror of ourselves. The concept of the shadow, from Carl Jung, is one of the great insights from 20th century psychology that is invaluable to those of us who seek to build effective relationships with others.
7 Ways To Have A Productive Day
Why is it in life that when something is working, you stop doing it? Jack has a well-established electronics business which he started 10 years ago. Over this time the business has grown and he now has a team of 7 people. When Jack initially contacted me, he was at a point he felt like walking away from his business. He was working in the business at least 10 hours a day and it was consuming his life. There was no time left for him to do anything else (or so he thought). After clarifying what Jack really wanted to achieve both in the business and personally, the first task I had him undertake was to fill in the special time sheets I have devised. He did this for 2 weeks. We discovered that Jack was wasting at least two hours each day because of his lack of planning.

Are You A Defensive Driver?
My partner Jack said something the other day that got me thinking. For those of you who don't know, Jack is affectionately referred to as Mr. Magoo when he drives. It basically means that he does whatever he wants and assumes everyone else will react to him. I think this quote from Jack explains it all. "Everyone is trained to be a defensive driver, so I count on them being defensive while I'm busy being Mr. Magoo."
What Is Inside Of You? Peace and Happiness? Or Stress and Turmoil?
Yesterday, I saw Jack LaLanne on a television program. Yes, the 94-year old fitness expert and inspiration to millions and millions of people is still going strong.

Our Fate is in Our Own Hands
A few years ago a friend had Ned, a small independent contractor, do extensive renovations to his home. Being a very fussy craftsman and cabinet maker, Ned did an especially superb job on the extensive woodwork involved in the renovation. About a year after completing the renovations, Ned bumped into my friend at the local hardware store. "The recession finally caught up to me," Ned told my friend. "I've had to lay off my crew and try to wait out this slow period."
