Room To Grow There is a certain saying that goes “If you’re the smartest person in the room … then you are probably in the wrong room!” Being an entrepreneur does not mean you have to go it alone. Just like every doctor needs a doctor, every mentor needs a mentor, every coach needs a coach, and…

Leap of Faith Why is it that some people will jump out of a perfectly good airplane, but can’t stand the thought of giving a presentation in front of a crowd.

When I was young, I dreamed about what I would be when I grew up. I was sure I was going to be an astronaut (even though I am deathly afraid of heights). I was going to be a rock star (I have often been told I have a face for radio). I was going to…

Are You Resolute? Do you realize that over 50% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions? Do you know that over 80% of them never succeed? So why do most resolutions fail? They fail, because they are usually big overachieving goals like quitting smoking, exercising more, eating better and so on. The people who succeed, understand the difference…

You’re sitting in traffic or at a stoplight daydreaming about your trip to Mexico, a dream home or maybe that concert you are going to tonight…what happens next? Someone toots their horn, and you feel a mix of embarrassment and anger. People and businesses are constantly doing their best to get your attention, sometimes to wake you up…
