It’s a crazy busy day as I prepare for a speaking business trip. As I way laying in bed going over everything that I had to do, I wondered if it could be done. You may already be asking yourself, “why didn’t you just get out of bed?”. There are many reasons. I love being…
Are you sure you’re really supposed to do them? Well, I did something that scared the hell out of me. I’ve started a 52-week video series. Two weeks ago, I rented an office space for filming and waited. I was hoping for a miracle and not realizing what I was hoping for. Then, the day…
I don’t mean, “can you see?”. I mean, do you have “a” vision? As in, a vision for your work. A vision for your life. A vision for your company. Let’s say your company has a vision statement. That counts! But, do the employees know what it is? Do the managers or even the customers?…
We may have been lucky enough to have gotten a picture together. When we did I probably asked you to WINK with me. It’s not because I want you to make fun of me. Nothing could be further from the truth. As I continue to grow and get more comfortable with who I am, I…

Balance is something that I struggle with. Sometimes when I turn around quickly, I can’t find my center quickly. Oh, that’s not the kind of balance you were thinking about? The other kind of balance is difficult to keep, as well. Sometimes when I turn around quickly, I can’t find my center quickly. I’d love…
While speaking at a recent National Sales Meeting, one of my customers asked me, “so, what kind of blindspots do we typically have in sales?”. That question started to make my head spin, when I realized that this could be answered in many ways. You can see one of these answers in the link below….
We sometimes get caught up asking ourselves the wrong question. “Why am I not getting ahead?” “Why is everyone else passing me by on the way to success?” You may even ask yourself, “Why do I feel this way?”. It may be time to ask yourself a different question. “What could I be doing better?”…
The journey to becoming a speaker is one filled with potholes. Just when you think you’re on a newly paved road with a smooth ride ahead, you hit one. “Crap! What was that?” and you look to see if your hubcap came off or if your tire is going flat. Of course, you didn’t ask…
