Have you ever heard the term “sound business decision”?  Do you suppose it means that there is a dollar to be made instead of running out of money?  Do you suppose it included research and development to make sure the plan would work?  Are you willing to be part of a “sound business decision” to make a “giant leap” forward?  What if you had “nothing to lose” and everything to gain, would...

Now that you are very aware that you only have so much energy and effort, to dedicate towards never ending RESPONSIBILITIES, why WASTE it on anyone or anything?  Even if you are a twin, you sense your own UNIQUE qualities and abilities.   Get focused, find your Friday Night Essence, and CREATE something valuable for yourself and others.   It is just as easy to go to work with an attitude of “I love work!”...

In part 1 I gave you something very powerful, the definition of being wealthy. By simply defining the crossover point you should either have been happy because you have a certain level of wealth or you should be glad that you now have a defined goal to work towards. As I have traveled the world I have seen the grand casinos in Monaco and the extreme poverty in Kenya. As I look at the devistation in Haiti I am...

Fortunately for me I have had an essence for computers since I was in high school, which was over three decades ago. By the summer of 2000 I finally purchased my first computer because I learned it was a valuable tool that I needed to take my entrepreneur journey to the next level. WOW!!! What a decade. By 2001 I purchased my first palm pilot phone and have continued to upgrade to the latest smart phone...

Why do we ask for more government control in our lives, is it because we have resorted to laziness?  I believe that instead of asking for more government agencies and workers we should be freeing the companies to have their own quality control. Technology could soar if there were less control and more honesty delivered to the People.  Research and Development should fall in the hands of the people, not a controlling...

Okay I know this is going to get me some very negative comments from folks who don’t bother reading this but it will just showcase that some people shoot off their opinion first and worry about the facts later! My first comment is that in a country of 330 Million you will find a few hard luck stories that are the exception to my thought however this is being written to the masses!

When I visited the library recently, I over heard a woman telling a story to a group of young kids. The story-teller told about a town that got over ran with mice. The situation of the town was so bad that the mayor of the town sort help to rid the town of the menace. The mayor of the town announced that if anyone could get rid of all the mice, he would pay them a reward of a bag of gold. Then in came the hero...

Lastly, I shared a thought about how you can get ahead at work. How, you can start saying “When the cat’s away, the mice take over the day!”  I pointed out that some bosses will let you learn more, if you just ask, because you actually free them for more projects.   These projects let them climb the ladder, and may include off-site activities while they entertain clients.  That gives you more control...

What is the essence of leadership? To do what needs done and to do it well. How does one do that? By taking charge rather than waiting for someone else to make it happen. What will taking charge do for you? Improve your life.  So, how does one take charge in a job? By asking questions and taking on additional responsibilities.  This unearths your creativity.  This is the 1st step, a small step, but, a great...

This is an ongoing series. To read Part 1 & Part 2 click here  . I have nicknamed these internal forces as “Demons”. I am not the first to use this nickname but it does seem fitting so I will perpetuate the use. The internal forces are simply blocks that we place on ourselves. There are many reasons we place these blocks on ourselves but the main one is “FEAR”. Fear is different...
