Creating a High Performance Organization
Organizations, just like the teams in the Tour de France, are made up of individuals who perform activities on their own as well as part of a larger whole that we often refer to as a team.

You Gotta Make a Comeback

Measure yourself as a manager Go for gold
Going for gold; what does it mean and what is your ‘gold’? You can never achieve anything lasting that is not in your nature. You cannot achieve anything that you have not a natural inclination for, with of course the appropriate mental and physical attributes. A gold medal is nothing without self worth – think of the Olympic athletes, or Tour de France cyclists who cheated, who took performance enhancing drugs, to achieve gold.

The Tour De France, Relationships and Success

Harnessing the Miracle of Determination
Lance Armstrong has defied his many obstacles to become one of the most influential men of our time. He used his losses to spur him on and he worked harder to outperform his competitors.

What makes him so special? Is he different than any one of us?

Home-based Business: Tour Guide
Working as a tour guide is a home-based business that can make you spend more time outside than at home. Either you are out with a group of people taking a tour in some of the attractive and tourists spots in your community, or running your marketing campaign.
Getting the Most Out of Group Travel
Group tour travel is a great way to save money and broaden your access to exotic destinations. These excursions have a lot more to offer than just a ride on a bus. Tour companies often have the leverage and connections to negotiate significant discounts with hotels and other vendors. They can help you cut your vacation expenses.
