Make Changes For the Better
Fine tuning in life is where it is at! We act, we react! But when we think and reflect upon those actions and reactions, we really get to know what was good. We begin to see what works for the greatest benefit, not just for me but for everyone in my family, in my neighborhood, in my community, in the state, the country and all over the Earth. When we all begin to think outside ourselves, greater harmony comes about, greater good and greater flow of goods, services and assistance goes to where it is needed.

Your Future
Many years ago as a young, aspiring speaker, I heard an older speaker who was quite philosophical say that you are where you are because that's exactly where you want to be. I thought about his statement, decided it was the "wisdom of the ages" and verbalized it in my own presentations. Over a period of time, a series of events took place that convinced me that his statement was not true in my case. I was broke, in debt and down in the dumps. I wanted to be prosperous and excited about my future. It came through loud and clear that I was where I was and what I was because of the decisions and choices I had made in my life.

Lighten Up / Tighten Up
As I was writing my previous post about The Constipation of Scale I got an email from a co-investor talking about a CEO / CTO conflict. It had an interesting phrase in it that I realized applies to many CEO / CTO relationships – “CEO needs to lighten up and CTO needs to tighten up.”

The following question was submitted to "Ask Donald Trump" by Helen G.: I am really feeling at a loss as new agent in real estate.

FRANCHISING IN INDIA: A Critical Perspective
Franchising in India is not regulated and unlike popular statistics, only 25 to 30% franchisees are successful. Based on my experience in understanding franchising in several large markets, India is atleast 30 + years behind any developed market when it comes to the market size, growth potential and the level of expertise in the franchising business. In my past five years in the Franchising Fraternity, I have come across more failures than successes, both from franchisors and franchisees.

Success from The Inside Out
Everyone wants to be successful but few people take the time and effort to define success on their own terms. We are bombarded by messages about what success looks like: owning the right car, living in a certain neighborhood with a certain size house, closing the big deal, becoming well-known, or growing your company to a certain size. While these are certainly fine goals, they offer only a restrictive view of success. To complicate the issue, many of us also get the message that our level of success means something fundamental about who we are – about our worth and value as human beings. Rationally we know that this is ridiculous; however, so many of us operate as if it’s true and as a result, we try harder and harder to prove we are successful according to these superficial standards. There is a better way.

Social Media – Fact or Fiction
With the hype of Social Media venues as the next greatest tool, the important question to ask from a business perspective is what is the ROI? Clearly, one of the main advantages is networking. Today’s Social Media platforms provide opportunities to connect with anyone practically anywhere to share ideas about pretty much anything. In many respects, it is like the old fashioned neighborhood where you could quickly learn who to ask what when you had a particular question. However, unlike the neighborhood where exchanges were face-to-face, social media posts can be from anyone, anywhere publishing most anything. This distinction is important when it comes to business.

What Does Expensive IT Really Look Like?
Many companies, especially those that are growing, would love to have a high-quality IT services provider that they can rely on, but ultimately make a few phone calls before deciding it's "just too expensive." That doesn't mean that their technology needs go away, however. And so, many of these companies turn to untrained IT solutions providers, in the form of employees pulling double duty, or even just someone from the neighborhood who is "good with computers."
