Bula! No, I don’t have a coronavirus. Or any other physical malady. Just an urge. To be quiet for a bit. Which includes being more careful about what I consume. Catching up on some much-needed reading, polishing some workshops I’ve been working on, writing and avoiding the panic-driven hysteria as much as possible. I’ll be …

Mike Ehrmantraut, the cleanup guy in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, asks soon-to-be-known as Saul Goodman attorney, Jimmy McGill… “Are you still morally flexible?” I’m not including the word “still” because I’m going to assume the best. That you’re morally inflexible, unwilling to do just anything for a buck. Jimmy became Saul Goodman because …

I officially entered the workforce when I was 16. Unofficially I had been working summers for at least 3 years prior. I’d hear managers and business owners complain about how hard it was to find “good people.” Initially, I understood “good people” to mean people who were reliable. That was about it. Would they show …

“A good speech should be like a woman’s skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.” – Winston S. Churchill Sir Winston had a way with words. That’s for sure.

As much as I love the anonymous quote — “Everything is hard until it’s easy” — there’s a powerful way to move forward toward an accomplishment. Make it so easy you can’t avoid doing it. There’s lots of ancient wisdom about tackling a task by breaking it down into smaller tasks. Hence the idea expressed …

Happy Valentine’s Day. I know. An odd thing for business. But not really. All business is comprised of both head and heart. Well, to be fair and accurate — it’s all head stuff. Brain stuff. That’s where all the heart stuff happens. We tend to think of it in more simplistic terms though. Head is …

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop The return we get – let’s start out thinking about ourselves because that’s what we tend to do anyway (put ourselves first) – from kindness is immeasurable. Never mind the benefit we can provide to others. Then why is compassion so rare? …

Randomness surrounds us. I don’t know anybody whose life or career has been a straight line of achievement. It’s more of a zig-zag, ranging from colossal failures to extraordinary accomplishments. On any given day, something “might” happen. It may be good or bad. But this much is true: our lives will be what […]

People commonly postpone, delay, and procrastinate in the name of preparation. Not now, later! But it’s false. A lie we too often choose to believe. The right time is now. Count the cost. Prepare for success. Plan for failure. Then take action while you monitor what’s working versus what isn’t. Failure precedes success. So […]
