Lesson #4: Have Your Own Definition of Success
“I busted my butt all my life building companies,” Huizenga once said. “I have a friend who’s my age, and the last thing we say when we hang up is QTR – quality time remaining. I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to play golf, so I’m going to enjoy every minutes of this.”

Do you spend more on your vehicle than you do on your body?
If you’re like most you pay more attention to your car than you do your body. You supposed to change your oil every 3,000 miles right? You’re supposed to have your tires rotated every other oil change right? Your air filter and brake pads are also supposed to be changed at the appropriate intervals as well.

Simple Systems Save You Time and Make You Money
I had my list prepared and would have spent at least an additional 30 minutes asking all these questions on top of the general check-up. However they only charged me for the consultation. In fact, the vet could have saved himself 30 minutes if he had the answers typed up. And if he were 'marketing savvy', he could have produced a "Puppy Pack" which would include "Frequently Asked Questions About Your New Puppy" plus relevant products. He could have included the worming syrup, a couple of toys, toilet training pads etc. And guess what? I would have bought it and so would many other new puppy owners.

Mubarak Abdullahi’s home-made helicopter takes Nigeria’s Kano Plains by storm

Hurtling towards the next big birthday
A personal reflection coming up to birthday time. What prompted this article? Air-journeys provide invaluable thinking space. This article started life on a flight to Helsinki in early June. The two-hour flight from Heathrow provided me with just about the right amount of time for a brief helicopter-view of my world.

Helicopter Parents Descending onto Your Organization
Has your organization seen an increase in the number of "helicopter" parents involving themselves with their child's work, social and personal life? If so, you're not alone. This trend has definitely taken an upswing the past few years, and has become so common that there are organizations trying to devise strategies on how to combat this phenomenon.

Do you use a spiral notebook?
I suspect the ‘hunting and pecking’ for something to write on is a common scene in so many workplaces. Jotting notes on loose pads of paper, using sticky notes for phone numbers and scrawling a customer reference on the back of an envelope or business card are all symptoms of poor personal organisation.

Jot It Down Using Note-Taking Tools
Steno pads. Spiral notebooks. Legal pads. The back of an envelope. A cocktail napkin. Receipts. The corner of a newspaper. If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you’ve got ideas striking you every hour of the day and night, and you grab the nearest writing implement and snippet of paper to scrawl a few words on. But how often do those pieces of paper make it into something more permanent?

How to Cripple Your Kids
We've been hearing more about “helicopter parents” in the last few years. Is this just a healthy concern for the well-being of our children? Can we help them be excellent by giving them all our time, advice and resources? Well, unfortunately it’s pretty easy to show that students with helicopter parents tended to be “less open to new ideas and actions, as well as more vulnerable, anxious and self-consciousness, among other factors, compared with their counterparts with more distant parents.

Are you a “Paper Person?” Consider an Electronic To Do List
For those of you who still use paper for a to do list, like pads of paper, a planner, post-it notes, or maybe you use your memory entirely, consider making a change to an electronic to do list. It doesn't have to be in Outlook. It can be in Palm or Entourage or Lotus Notes. Outlook, in my opinion, happens to be the best and most powerful, but a good task management system is workable in other software systems too. Here are the 3 best reasons to start using an electronic to do list:
