What Is Inside Of You? Peace and Happiness? Or Stress and Turmoil?
Yesterday, I saw Jack LaLanne on a television program. Yes, the 94-year old fitness expert and inspiration to millions and millions of people is still going strong. In the closing remarks for the interview, Jack left his audience with the following thought. “You are responsible for everything you do - both on the outside and also inside of you.”

Lesson #1: Plan for the Worst to Reduce the Risk of Risk
Entrepreneurs, by definition, are risk-takers, people willing to strike out on their own in order to seize an opportunity and make a profit. But, for Li Ka-shing, the richest man of Chinese descent, risk should not be a part of the equation. Li is a self-proclaimed risk-averse entrepreneur and goes to any and all lengths to reduce the risks inherent in his actions. It was in planning for the worst case scenario and learning to expect the unexpected that Li managed to succeed where others before him had not.

Lesson #1: Don't Follow the Crowd or the Market
“When there is a crisis, that’s when some are interested in getting out,” says Helu, “and that’s when we are interested in getting in.”

Responding
When you respond to life, that's positive; when you react to life, that's negative. Example: you get sick and go to the doctor. Chances are good that after an examination he or she would give you a prescription with instructions to return in several days. When you walk back in if the doctor starts shaking his head and says, "It looks like your body is reacting to the medicine, we're going to have to change it," you probably would get a little nervous. However, if the doctor smiled and said, "You're looking great! Your body is responding to the medication," you would get excited and feel much better. Yes, responding to life is good. Reacting to the incidents of life is negative - and that's bad. The next example validates that fact.

Pushing Past Procrastination - The Revelation
Does procrastination raise its nasty head and throw your life into turmoil and confusion? Don't be hard on yourself - you are certainly not the only one in that boat! The trick is to acknowledge that you have a somewhat unwarranted visitor, whose name is Procrastination, and work to discover what is underneath so that you might maximize the control you have over balance and productivity in your life.
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. All of a sudden you find yourself asking - what am I doing here? And how can I build a better life financially for myself and my family?"
Franchising And the Art of Selling Change
I recently got onto a plane, settled in with my computer case at hand, my ipod Touch at the ready - my Bose headset set up and my computer in my pre-planned position to swipe it out of said aforementioned case. Then came the flight attendant. He looked at me, grinned and asked if I would "be so kind" to switch seats with a husband who was needed by his wife so the two of them could keep their baby from exploding onto the passengers in and around where she was currently seated. Now, here I am. I am comfortable. I have perfected my environment. And this clown disrupts my mental zen. Further it will require some deliberate focus and nurturing to get me back on track once I have settled into my new digs.
Help! My sales team isn’t coping with the fallout from the GFC
Many sales people, for the first time, are experiencing tough times when it comes to selling and many are not sure how to handle themselves in these difficult situations. The current climate is, indeed, a test of character. Many sales people, especially those in their 20's and 30's have not likely experienced selling in tough markets before. For the past 12 years prior to 2008, at least, the business climate in our market place has been, for the most part, buoyant. As we all know it's very easy to sell when times are good. It now begs the question: How well have we prepared ourselves practically, emotionally, and physically to manage our way through these tough times?

Online Business? Why Do We Need One?
A few years ago, the economy was roaring. Stock prices were going up, interest rates were staying low, the online business industry was booming and unemployment was down. A year later and those indicators were all going in opposite direction. It is difficult to know if the turmoil is over but we have to have faith. We have to be optimistic that the current situation is a short-term one and we have to believe that long-term prospects of growth and good times are just around the corner. But that doesn't mean that there won't be downturns, along the way. We have to ask ourselves: 'are we ready to take advantage of the good as well as the bad times - are we ready to start an online business?'

The Art of Reinvention As a Lifestyle for Soul-Driven Entrepreneurs
We soul-driven entrepreneurial types are an interesting lot... we are compelled to do something that we believe is about who we are as a business, allowing passion and enthusiasm to guide our lives and businesses, following an inner need to pursue truth and express it honestly as we know it, creating our own unique path by being our authentic selves, and all with the desire to make the world a better place for being in it. Even more, we do this in the face of daunting external odds, intimidating circumstances, often on the leading edge of our respective industries and with generally not enough resources to make it all happen. And yet - we do it.

People First,Things Second - Leadership Education
What can we learn from a world in turmoil? What can we learn from watching the courage of young, old, men, women, and children putting their lives at risk for something as amorphous, as intangible as freedom? What can we learn from watching our colleagues in neighboring states go to the seat of power, the capitol where they march, stand, sit, drum, chant that they will not go away, they will be heard?
The Power of Words
In a world so full of "me first" attitudes, it is no wonder we see so much turmoil and dysfunction in the world around us. The financial fiasco being played out on the national stage is evidence that something is seriously wrong. Day after day, words of disaster come at us from all directions; words that instill fear, panic and negativity. News of foreclosures, more bank failures, bail outs totaling billions of dollars...it is no wonder the confidence level of people in our country is the lowest it has been in 28 years. That has to change and it can if we commit ourselves to changing what "we think about" and "what we say" to ourselves and others!
