Swimming Naked
In a 2001 Berkshire Hathaway Chairman's letter, Warren Buffett declared "You can only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out." Depending on the context or your specific situation, one can derive a variety of different meanings from this metaphor. Naturally, I see it from a business perspective and wonder how many companies have been "swimming naked" for so many years.

Setting Goals – How to Get Started!
"I really admire those Olympic athletes, but I could never do anything like that!" These are some of the comments I've heard over the past few weeks from people with whom I have been discussing the Olympic games. Typically, you would not find me in front of a TV for hours, let alone watching sports. No way! However, it was with a great sense of pride, and interest, that I did watch a lot of the games on TV. I did so with purpose and intent - and for the entertainment, of course. I have always been very goal-oriented and I am happy to share my goals with people who can help me and support me.

Chicken or Beef?
As a former national champion Olympic weightlifter, one of my prized possessions is my gold medal. It is a very special momento to me, which I display in my office. Recently, I was traveling on an airplane, and I met a unique gentleman seated next to me. If they ever add an Olympic event called the Marathon Bad Attitude, this gentleman will have a gold medal, too. Shortly after introducing myself, he told me he didn't like the airline we were flying on, the seats, the aisles, or our flight attendant. He went on to inform me he didn't like the city we were in, the airport we were connecting through, or our final destination. I don't think he liked me either, but we didn't get that far into the conversation.

Online Business Owners Embrace Being Uncomfortable
This past weekend, my 5-year-old granddaughter, come down the stairs. She had her cute little blue ruffled swimsuit on, and a beach towel in her hand.Granted we live in California and it was a sunny day but it still was too cold, in my mind to go swimming. “Wotcha doing?” I asked, as if I didn’t know. “I’m going swimming,” she answers, and out she went. I followed behind. I was sure she would decide it was just to cold to get in. But no, she jumped in without a second’s hesitation with both feet. In just a few seconds she jumped out, wrapped herself in the towel and warmed up. As soon as she was a little warm, back into the pool she went. Successful online business owners embrace being uncomfortable.
