Leadership: Now More than Ever!
| |
| Winston Churchill is a hero of mine. Partly, I think, because he wasn't perfect. He was neither an obvious hero nor someone acknowledged early on to be the leader that he eventually became. He just put his head down, plowed through and never gave up. He was honest and hard-working, pragmatic and passionate. Sound like any small business owners you know?

Words Can Make A Difference
| |
| As a youngster I heard a little rhyme which said, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." That's untrue. Words can give us hope and encouragement, or they can break our spirits and dash our hopes. |

May I Quote You?
| |
| As an author, the question, May I quote you? is a humbling request and a great compliment. For anyone who is in search of excellence a good quote is fuel for our journey.
Its amazing how a short, simple quotation can quickly provide perspective, inspiration, comfort, motivation or insight. What a wonderful return for our invested time - take 10 seconds each morning to read a new quote and our day, maybe even our world, is changed.
I wanted to share a few of my favorites which can also be found in the new coffee table gift book, The Nature of Excellence
Its hard to beat a person who never gives up. - Babe Ruth

How to Find Direction
| |
| The Success Attitude formula makes achieving your Core Desires simple.
The Success Attitude formula shows you how to unlock and open the door of opportunity.
Success Attitude = (Core Desires + Direction) X Proper
Action + Persistence
Still, a Core Desire by itself won't get you where you want to go. If you live in California and want to drive to Washington, D.C., you may have a great desire, but you still need direction. |

Who Is Likely To Succeed In Business?
| |
| I am in a privileged position in the work I do. I come across people at all stages of their business lives and so have a good awareness of which people will succeed, or not.
I am surprised regularly by people about to start a business. When we sit down to discuss their plans, I find out they don't have any! They have a vague dream about running their own business and a few ideas to try to get them going but what about in 3 months time, 6 months, 12 months or even longer down the line? No idea! We will see how it goes! |

Fail More Often
| |
| I often like to take an extreme position on topics to stimulate helpful discussions where we share various points of view. The title of this article sounds ridiculous. We all would rather have success than failure in anything we do. My point in this article is whether we need to put a higher value on failures than we typically do. |
