When Johnson was a young boy, he would frequently visit his father at the General Motors plant where he worked. “I would sit in the chair behind the desk and dream I was the CEO,” he says.

Management Courses
It’s a big, scary world out there, especially for the entrepreneur wanna be who has had little to no business experience or training. Entrepreneurs are known for their willingness to take risks, for their innovation, and not necessarily for their academic record. Indeed, many of the most successful CEOs in the world are those who dropped out of university or even high school in order to follow their dreams. But for those of you who aren’t sure you are the next Richard Branson, a high school dropout so determined to be his own boss that he is now a billionaire, there are other options.

There's a line in the movie Gracie that I love. Gracie is a teenager in the 70s who is competing for a spot on the boy's high school varsity soccer team. In one scene, dejected and on the verge of giving up, her mother, played by Elizabeth Shue, tells her, "If you want to limit yourself, that's fine. But don't let other people do it for you."
It’s Never Too Late!
In May of 1983, Helen Hill, age 95, received her high school diploma. She was absolutely ecstatic.

Ah, The Sweet Taste of Victory! Do you remember those high school days and how you felt when your football team walked all over the biggest rival, or the basketball team walked away with the coveted state trophy? The energy... the excitement... the thrill of the win! I recently watched a movie, the Glory Road, which was the story of a basketball team who won the state championship - a victory against all odds. It was a poignant story that has spun around in my head for days now and finally settled in during another one of my crazy "shower moments" this morning!

Thanks to donations from my readers, seven Guatemalan students will go to high school, three villages have school supplies, one has a new refrigeration system for soy milk, 60 villagers ate meat, and 140 kids got ice cream. I also think I have lice, but I couldn't be happier!
Sales Coaching is Like Baseball - How Do You Rate?
Really? Whiffle Ball in the back yard? Sandlot? Little League? Babe Ruth? High School? American Legion? College? Cape Cod League? Independent League? First Round Draft Pick? Signed by a Major League Team? High Minors? Cup of Coffee in the Bigs? Utility Player on a Major League Team? Every Day Player? All Star? MVP? Hall of Fame?
