Get a Grip with Others
I was driving back home after the birth of my grandson, Jorden. The birth, the miracle, the blessing and yet he made me aware of a poignant deficit in our lives. From the minute he was born, that baby wanted to get a grip. It didn't matter if it was Mama's breast or Daddy's finger; he had to get a grip. It was a natural instinct to make a human connection. I thought about how isolated working people have become today. We don't have time for ourselves let alone others. I remember 31 years ago when my first child was born and how we would go on picnics with our neighbors. If I didn't have pictures of our camping trips I believe I would have sworn we never had time to just take off for days for the woods. No phone? No computer? No kidding! We'll devote an entire segment on how to Get a Grip with friends later in your book but here we're

Chapter 1 from The Secret of Communication
The desire for live communication is at the top of the hierarchy of human needs yet there are huge dilemmas such as whether to be tough, sensitive or both and when? The ability to communicate, as well as the opportunity to use, it is a gift from the Creator. Many people are convinced they can never have a lasting relationship in their life. Even those people can have a successful relationship once they set aside their fears and ignore their past failures. It’s all about finding agreements; if both parties will communicate on the issue until the other has heard and understands, they will find agreement is possible. The other divine gift we all share is a free will that allows us to make the choices of how and what to communicate. Those are the decisions that sometimes have irrevocable effects upon our personal destiny.

This is NOT the Time to Go It Alone.
It's tempting to isolate when things are tough. We don't want to expose ourselves or express vulnerability. But going it alone - especially during challenging times - is self-defeating and can actually be dangerous. Now is the time to seek out the comfort and refreshment of commmunity. Not only will it assist us but it will serve others.

The “Back to Basics” - The Three R’s
In turbulent times, we do well to re-assess basics: Where are we, and where do we want to go. Our re-assessment may uncover nothing … or silver-linings on the edges of dark clouds. What we uncover depends largely on our attitude. Studies indicate that attitude determines as much as 88% of success. Positive attitude is critical for leaders, managers, salespeople … everyone who wants to keep learning and earning!

So Be You
Instead of blending in, try standing out from your competition. Get it - so be you!

I Dare You
I never have been able to understand why people can only see as far as the need of the day in which they are operating. It astounds me even more how these same people can be motivated at all. On a day-to-day basis, the job of running a business, selling, and hanging on to your clients can be tough.

Customers Needs-The One and Only Way to Know For Sure What To Sell
If it were up to me there would only be two or three flavors of ice cream ever created. If you don't love chocolate chip and strawberry ice cream it is a good thing for you my tastes and desires aren't the holy grail of what sells! Don't let your preferences and desires determine what you sell. And for your businesses sake, don't assume that your preferences are shared by your customer. Desire and motivation is unique to each of us. Even if we ultimately purchase the same product we often do so for very different reasons and therefore need to be marketed to differently.

Using Time
In our hurry-hurry world, the most popular phrases are, "We've got to get together sometime, but it seems that I'm always so busy." "Attend a neighborhood gathering? I just don't have the time!" "Visit with my neighbors or my family? I'm too busy to breathe." And so it goes.

Make Money from Home with Baking
Baking is one of hundred ways to make money from home. This is particularly true if there is no near bakeshop in your neighborhood. You can cater to friends, family, relatives, neighbors and former officemates. For sure, many people do not have the time to do the baking themselves.
Final Exam
I believe among the most valuable traits of any human being is the ability to honestly, objectively, and realistically assess themselves. It is easy to look at friends, neighbors, and colleagues and judge their success in their personal or professional lives. This ease in judging others comes from our tendency to look at everyone else's actions and results while only viewing our own intentions. We all start out with great intentions that can often become an excuse when we fail to perform.

Customer Service Tips: How Not to Provide Service
Imagine my surprise when I read the flyer in my mailbox from the US Postal Service that suggested I install a new mailbox, at my expense, at the end of the cul de sac so “we can serve you better.” As far as I can tell, the only one who benefits from this is the USPS because they can batch process 10 houses (if my neighbors do this) in less time than it takes for them to drive to each house. While I can see the benefit to the USPS – faster time, less travel and less gas, I fail to see how this helps me.
My neighbor Charlie, just filed for bankruptcy
My neighbor Charlie, just filed for bankruptcy It was the prime topic for conversation this past weekend, so I suppose you could say this is a cautionary tale. What’s got everyone talking (and one or two of the neighbors a bit fearful) is that Charlie seemed to be doing OK. He had solo-consulting practice, advising retailers on supply chain issues such as transportation and warehousing.
Control is an Illusion
The reality is that we can’t control our environment; the economy, our buyers, families, partners or neighbors, the waiter at the restaurant, the valet with our car or airplane mechanic fixing the problem. Often we can’t even control ourselves.
Life Accumulates in Our Personal Choice Accounts
A farmer prayed fervently every night during harvest season for a fine crop. He pleaded for crops as fine as his neighbors. After one night of particularly strong lamenting and pleading, the Lord finally replied. "Ben," He exclaimed, "How can I give you a harvest? You didn't plant any seeds last spring."
