From Tupperware to Bookkeeping
On a flight to Florida this week I sat next to an incredible woman who runs a conservancy for primates - chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, etc. -- who told me the most amazing story about her mother, a story that would have been in Never Eat Alone's chapter 4, "Build it before you need it," if I had heard it sooner.

Dare to Dream Bigger than You Ever Have
Are you short-changing yourself? Do you hold back on how big you let yourself dream? Is it time for you to super-size your goals and dreams? You know the adage-life gives us what you ask of it? It's really true.

No Excuses
This article visits a powerful advertisement released by Nike'. The theme of the commercial deals with excuses. A couple questions are added for small group discussion.
The American Dream Downsized, or Upscaled. Your choice.
Today’s news is filled with doom about the economy and dire predictions about a permanent downsizing of the American Dream. It’s as if our futures have become foretold. To me, this is precisely the time to talk about building wealth. The mind numbing tidal wave of financial collapse does not have to engulf you. To avoid it, however, you have to have an evacuation plan that leads to higher financial ground, and you have to choose when to put that plan into action. When it comes to wealth building, it always starts with a choice.
You Will See Results Pursuing Your Core Desire
When trying to discern your Core Desires, pay close attention to the responses and emotions elicited by the Search Question. You could overlook a key phrase, comment, or feeling if you are not careful. Emotions are not always easy to sense or detect. Often people will answer the question flippantly, or without focus. Often I will hear a goal they have had for many years, and when I tell them it is not a 100 on the scale, they say things like "Okay, you want to know what I really want?" Then they say what is really in their heart and get right to the Core Desire. Sometimes they joke about a Core Desire- don't let this fool you. Oftentimes people joke about the things that are most important to them, because to get serious about it is quite painful. They joke around to hide the hurt.
Life is a Marathon
Three time cancer conqueror, Matt Jones, shares winning strategies he learned from overcoming cancer and running a marathon after relearning how to walk. No matter the challenge or goal you face these strategies will help you be successful in the marathon called life.

Don’t Miss Your Starting Gun
Many people believe there are signals around us all the time, offering to guide us if only we’ll listen. The signals often start quietly and get louder until they’re heard. This article is about how these signals come in different forms: your body, your physical environment, and your relationships, including your clients.

Wearing Your Heart On Your Vest - Manners and Etiquette
Jorge was a young construction worker, sitting near the front of the bus. Natasha was an older lady confined to a wheelchair. She asked him about his orange safety vest, "Where do you get those?" The vests are highly reflective and are easily seen by oncoming automobile traffic. Natasha thought that a similar vest might protect her as she crossed the street from the bus stop to her house in the evening. Jorge stood up, took the vest off, and presented it to Natasha as a gift.
Funke Adenodi Akinbuli Helps Disabled in Africa Live With Dignity & Respect
If you didn't already know, most of Africa’s disabled [including the blind, paraplegic etc.] citizens live in deplorable conditions. Most are unemployed and can be found on Africa’s major streets and highways placing themselves in harm’s way as they beg for money to meet their basic needs. Rarely will you find a paraplegic in Africa, for example, with necessary medical equipment i.e. wheelchair. Most navigate the streets and freeways on their hands. Sadly, a lot of Africa’s citizens have become desensitized to the deplorable conditions of the disabled partly because most are frustrated with economic and political conditions in the continent and are barely trying to keep heads above water. Others just have no idea where to begin helping and still most lack awareness of the plight of the disabled.

Build Prosperity and Strong Relationships With L.O.V.E
I had the honour recently of interviewing Evelyn Tian. Evelyn is a Singaporean woman living in Australia. She shared a story that started with volunteering to pack and send envelopes for the 2000 Olympics Committee here in Australia 10 years ago. That simple act of giving lead to an amazing trail of events that lead to her becoming the African Attache for the Olympics and Para-Olympics. This started Evelyn on an incredible journey to Africa for 6 months where she worked with disabled women and children, introducing wheelchair sports and fund raising for home made wheelchairs. She is now working toward helping disabled orphans in Africa.
Choosing the Best Home Businesses to Run from a Wheelchair
It has always been a challenge and a struggle for disabled individuals to earn a living, especially from home. However, it is possible for paraplegics and even quadriplegics to be outfitted to use a computer. The age of the Internet has made it possible to earn lucrative incomes from home. There are now unlimited possibilities in finding home businesses to run from a wheelchair!

Shout Out to the Disabled - Overcoming Ableism
What can one say about a category of people labled disabled. This category includes everyone from an elderly man experiencing chronic depression since the death of his wife, to a young blind woman, to a severely mentally retarded child, to a teenager with a mild learning disability, to a mother in a wheelchair, to a businessman with a disease that is progressively decreasing the physical functioning of his body? How can those of us who are currently able-bodied know how to treat people with disabilities?

Breaking out of Our Mental Prisons
W Mitchell is an outstanding example of someone who refuses to be a victim, despite being victimized - not by just one horrible accident, but two. The first left him burned over 65% of his body, including his face, arms, and hands. A plane crash four years later left him paralyzed from the waist down, sentencing him permanently to a wheelchair. Having overcome these setbacks, Mitchell is a very compelling speaker on taking responsibility for our choices in life - on what it takes to be a leader.
