The Thick Line Between Buddy and Boss
I have made just about every business blunder you can imagine. I am like the Evel Knievel of the small business world, if Evel Knievel wrote a weekly column on motorcycle safety. One of the more unpleasant things I've had to do is fire a good friend who was not doing the job I hired him to do. He needed a job, I needed an employee, so I thought I would give him a shot

When Tactics are not Enough
The buzz is all about hits on a radio show or mentions in a newspaper column, Look out!!
Guerrilla Television
Television time is more inexpensive than ever. It can also be more effective than ever if you understand it. This column will help.

Credit Cards, Preference Reversals, and Debt
My friend Herb argued in a recent column -- and I'm paraphrasing here -- that "debt is high and the end is nigh". I cordially disagreed with him on CNBC during one of our twice-weekly on-air visits, in part because I'm more sanguine about debt, about people's general competence to make basic financial decisions, and about changes in the economy that have made it rational for people to have more debt than they did in the past. I'm also considerably less convinced about the quality of the NIPA data (it overstates expenditures, and understates income) etc.
Buddying Up
You're ready to make some changes. You've decided to pursue your passion, change directions, and jump right in. You have a wonderful coach who keeps you on course through weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly session, but somewhere in between scheduled sessions you find yourself faltering. Are you looking for a way to stay on course daily?

There Are No Dumb Business Questions Not
I've gotten a few head-scratchers in response to this column. You know who you are, but don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I have a confession to make. Writing an advice column, whether it be advice for love or money or business, is often hard to do with a straight face. Occasionally a question comes over the digital transom that just makes me go, "Huh?"
Succeeding and Serving
I am very grateful to think that this humble weekly column I began writing a decade ago for a local paper is now read by countless people in a multitude of newspapers, magazines, and online publications spread over four continents. For those of you reading this humble offering other than here in America, I will beg your indulgence or at least your attention as we all try to learn an important lesson from the political process here in the United States.

Creating Bullets and Using Bullets Efficiently
To create bullets, take a pad of paper. List all the features in the first column, the advantages in the second and the benefits in the third.
Today is the Day
Those of you who are regular readers of this humble offering may have noticed that each column ends with the phrase "Today is the day!" This is not an accident.

Every leadermanager™ is responsible for succession planning
Succession planning concerns every role. As I share with my audiences “succession planning is not just about executives, it is about every role in your organization.” As a financial services branch manager in the 70’s two files in the bottom right hand side of my desk played a vital role in my success, one was my employee bank and the other contained the minutes of my weekly meetings with my staff. Do you have an employee bank? Do you have weekly meetings with your staff?
