I hope your 2020 worked out okay. Some of us had a bad year, while some of us had a good year, business-wise. It’s just about over and we’re about to start 2021. It’s that time of year to say – out with the old and in with the new! Every single year, on New…
I’m not sure if you’re into streaming TV or not but if you haven’t seen “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix, I highly recommend it. It’s an awesome mini-series about this little girl who goes from being an orphan to the queen of the chess world. Now, the story is very complex and I don’t want…
Instant Karma There was a person who used to sit with me on the Board of Directors of the United Way. Her name is Alma Harrell, and she said something that always stuck with me. I asked her, “Alma, how you doing?” So she’d reply, “I’m too blessed to be stressed.” I think Alma really…

What’s Next? I want to talk about “What’s Next?”, or “Stop Reinventing When You Can Easily Pivot.” In preparation for my 500th podcast episode which is coming up 9/9/19, two things happened. Number one, I did a Facebook Live with somebody else who is actually having her 500th podcast on the same day. Her name…
Swim With The Dolphins The other day I was having coffee with a friend and a mentor. His name is Al Ritter. He wrote the book, The 100/0 Principle: Give 100% of yourself, 100% of the time, expect nothing in return and watch what happens. Al was telling me a story about his daughter, Ashley.…
Today I’d like to talk about your LinkedIn profile. Now, chances are you have one, right? If you don’t, then get one. It’s really easy. Let me give you a couple of things to think about to get started. First and foremost, if you’re going to set up a LinkedIn profile, do it with a…
A couple of weeks ago I was at a gas station. I happened to look over as I was pumping gas and there was this truck next to me, and they were in the other lane, and I noticed on the side of the truck it said something called Crosses For Losses. Now, you may…
