Transitioning From an Employee Mindset to a Business Owner Mindset
"Most of my 30 years as an employee in the corporate job culture was spent helping business owners run and build their businesses. In corporate America, you work hard and do your best for your entire career. You commute, work long hours, ignore your family, acquire excess stress, work to ensure that you keep your job AND that you save for the future of your family and your retirement.

When to Fold ‘Em
I should get a reaction here; after all I’m the guy who keeps saying “never quit,” right? Let’s not call it quitting then; let’s call it a “tactical re-deployment!” Just to make things a little more complicated, I’ve also traditionally been the guy who says not to listen to the detractors when they’re telling you to lay down. Today I’m going contrarian on that view as well.

Why create time to be alone
But what is the value of spending this alone? Neither the Dalai Lama nor the massage therapist let me know their thoughts, so I did a bit of research. One of the articles that I discovered was by Keith Renninson. He is a Vietnam vet turned motivational speaker and author. He talked about using the time alone to develop a personal life philosophy and then to check in with ourselves on a regular basis to confirm what is working and what isn’t working.

How Middle Managers are Key to Company Success
In hierarchal organizations, strategic intent flows from the top, while tactical implementation is carried out at the bottom. In the middle of the flow are middle managers: first- second- and third tier supervisors, managers and senior managers who are mandated to proactively deliver the planned strategy's goals. The challenge is that the bulk of their energy is spent tactically (and often) reactively responding to pressures from customers, subordinates, peers and their boss. In fact, how the middle manager responds on a moment-by-moment basis is more impactful to a strategy's success (and an organization's cohesion) than the communication of the plan in the first place.
