Last night, I talked with a cousin I have not spoken to in 15 years. No drama, just lost touch as we grew up. Have you ever had one of those conversations that snaps you out of the pity party you didn’t even know you were having? Bottom line without telling you the whole story, […]

The morning temperatures are not what I want them to be. But as I stare out my window or drive down the road, I have no doubt that the season is changing. Many trees have buds. The first blooms of Spring are evident. Take this as a lesson similar to, but more expressive than, paint […]

#MotivationMonday Weather is such a great metaphor for the rainy, cold, warm, thunderstorm, sunny, mix that are the emotions. But, alas! No matter the weather, your productivity always boils down to choice. And, so does mine. You may call it motivation. Some lament it as procrastination. But, the truth is as simple as choice. It […]

I completed 4 game plans this week. I cannot remember a time in the past when I completed 4 in 5 days. The conversations got me thinking about the insistence of society, experience, parents, employers, teachers, and others on conformity. Not just the sneaking standardization used in evaluations, applications, and regulations. The sinister conformity that […]

In order to get it, you will have to put in some work. The half-truth is that you have to do it alone. Half true because the first step is totally up to you. Half false because the first step could be to ask for help. You can get competent help. It can fit your […]

The world doesn’t have enough love. That much is clear. The love we have is often a poorer version of the unconditional positive regard that values me through a valuing of you. How does that inspire you today? It reminds you of a need. And, addressing a need is the foundation of your business, your […]
