Business Is No Guarantee of Riches
We have all had customers who expected far more than was their due: customers who were unreasonable, overly-demanding, condescending, hard to please and sometimes, even dishonest in their dealings with you. When a customer's reasonable expectations become unreasonable demands you must decide whether or not that customer is doing more harm to your business than good.

What is the TRUE Cost of Being Reasonable?
It does not pay to be reasonable and not go after what you really want in life. And the regret that ensues sometimes never goes away. How about you? Any missed opportunities from being reasonable? Most of us have been taught from a young age to be reasonable in our expectations, our desires, our requests from others and most importantly, from ourselves. We've learned that it is rude to be unreasonable, to ask too much from others and even ourselves. But when you think about it, this is completely counter-intuitive. Our purpose in life is to follow our bliss and to go beyond what might be considered reasonable by others.

Motivating Staff – (Empty) Words Are Not Enough!
In the course of my somewhat chequered career in marketing and sales, I worked for a range of small – medium businesses. One of the oft quoted platitudes from business owners was “we’re family here” – mostly said to entice employees to work enormous hours for no extra cash, to make unreasonable demands rather than requests and to create a general sense of guilt – as in: ‘we gave you a job…you owe us everything’ . This approach is often coupled with vague promises of future rewards.

Thermometer Manager or Thermostat Leader?
The late 19th century Irish playwright, critic, and social reformer, George Bernard Shaw, had a lot of useful things to say about personal effectiveness. A few of his comments have hung on my mirror or been posted in my day planner over the years. This one speaks to a core management-leadership choice we all have; "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends upon the unreasonable man."
