Managing Organizational Stars
What contributes to an individual's ability to remain a star? To what extent does past star performance predicate future star performance? And to what extent does a key organizational factor—colleague quality—help or hinder the ability to sustain star performance? The performance of stars is an important career matter for individuals as well as for managers who want to inspire, nurture, and recruit stars.
Are You On The Verge Of Quitting
I believe if you're an entrepreneur or in sales - you deserve a gold star! Why? Because we're people who don't get regular pay cheques like the rest of the madding crowd. We ONLY get paid when we SELL. (Now look in the mirror because I just pasted a BIG Star on your forehead!) And sometimes it feels like sales are slow, no one is calling you back, and you couldn't come up with a new idea if your life depended on it. (thank goodness that's not the case!)

Become the Star You Are Meant to Be
You want more out of life than just a job. Whether you work for a large company, a startup, a nonprofit, or you are an entrepreneur, you want to be a star; a complete and total personal and professional success. But professional success is complicated and may be elusive. To achieve professional success and become the star you are meant to be you need a professional success blueprint.
Local Television: A Question of Relevance in a Changing World
Like the once great pitcher whose fastball has lost some of its speed, or the boxer whose timing is a second or two slower than it once was, local television is also out of step with a world that is now dominated by citizen journalism and fast-paced individually driven social media venues.
10 Tips on How To Stay Focused – An Entrepreneur’s Training Guide
My dad always said, 'Plant your feet, keep your hips and shoulders in line with the plate, bat back, eyes on the pitcher and stay focused!' It's hard for kids to stay focused with all the distractions, but it can be hard for entrepreneurs as well. If you're willing to plan a schedule to accomplish a series of tasks, acknowledge the importance of concentration during the whole process.
SET GOALS! You Can’t Be Successful if You Don’t Define What That Means
Remember when you were a kid and your parents told you that you could do anything you set your mind to ... even if you wanted to become the president of the United States? I do! I can almost feel the same excitement I felt when they told me. I was excited to one day play in the NBA the NFL and I'd also be an all star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. If someone would have asked me if I truly believed that I could accomplish all those things I would have said, "Of course I can, my parents told me I could do anything if I set my mind to it!" What was it that you wanted to accomplish?
Why Good Looking Mobile Home Parks Have Ugly Returns
Some mobile home park buyers have this erroneous idea that the goal is to buy a great looking asset. They even rate the parks they look at based on physical appearance. The star system is a good example. Most people think a five-star park is always superior to a one star park. However, the only real star system they should consider is which park is a superstar on cash flow. Because at the end of the day, all that really matters when you own a mobile home park is making money. Parks that make money are great, no matter how ugly they are, and parks that lose money are dogs, despite how cute their entry may be. And, as a general rule, the prettier the park, the uglier the cash flow.

Leadership Tip: Dream On
Remember when you were a kid and the first evening star began to beckon in a slowly dimming sky? Were you the kid who said "star light, star bright, I want the wish I wish tonight?" Did someone tell you to stop being "so childish" or were you supported in wishing your dream? It has been said that without vision the people will perish. When we stop looking toward an ideal that we are reaching for the world becomes flat and stale. In all leadership development programs there needs to be a module on keeping dreams alive.
Are you a Star?
Can you be a "star" all the time - shining and twinkling high above everyone else, every day? I think a few remarkable people can, but much more attainable for most is being a "star" some of the time.
The Requirements to be a 10 / 10 Sales Professional
Not every sales professional born with the gift of gab becomes an all-star at business development, however just about every all-star at sales and business was born with a knack for carrying an engaging conversation with people from all walks of life.
