Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

“I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.” – Roy Croft Ah, LOVE ….the most addictive elixir in the world next to the chocolate. It can make us so giddy and happy. Who doesn’t want to be in a relationship where they are cherished and loved? I’m certain that some of you remember the song from the movie Urban Cowboy, “Looking For Love in all The Wrong Places.” I love that song, and I am sure we have all felt like that at some p

When is “Enough” Enough?

“To believe yourself brave is to be brave; it is the one only essential thing” – Mark Twain rnLast week I had the good fortune to attend a writing seminar presented by Michelle Prince and John Di Lemme. I’ve been hard at work writing my first book, so I knew I’d get some great tips and tools from the presenters and I wasn’t disappointed. One of the best “food for thought” questions they asked us was “When is ‘enough’ enough?” Much to my surprise this o

Success: Sometimes We Quit Too Soon

“The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.” – Anonymous rnIt is real easy to get sucked into an overnight success story. But what you don’t read right away is that it took that person a lot of years and a lot of hard work to get to that place. We live in what I call the McDonald’s Society. We want it quick, easy, and good. However, what happens is that we become very impatient with our quest for success and we give up way too soon. Let me give

Careful… Your Professional Etiquette Is Showing!

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw There’s so much buzz going around these days on developing the proper ‘netiquette’ when posting on the worldwide web that I wonder if we’ve overlooked the workplace where real professional etiquette is in danger of going the way of the dinosaur. Professional etiquette isn’t solely what type of clothing you wear to the office although I do think that it

Are You Waiting on the World to Change?

“You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.” - Les Brown I was listening to a song on the radio the other day by John Mayer called, ‘Waiting on the World to Change.’ Well, good luck with that.

Since When Did Mediocrity Become The Norm?

“There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.” – Norman Vincent Peale One of the definitions of mediocrity I found on line stated: “Averageness: ordinariness as a consequence of being average and not outstanding,” and that pretty much described what I’ve seen happening in a lot of businesses lately. They’re mired in the muck of mediocrity and for the most part people, the consumer who keeps these businesses

Does Integrity Reside In Your Business?

“Integrity is not a 90 percent thing, not a 95 percent thing; either you have it or you don’t.” - Peter Scotese Opening up the newspaper or turning on the news can be a really scary act these days, which is why I don’t recommend doing either of these activities on a regular basis. It seems as if greed and lack of ethics are running rampant in every facet of our lives. The world of business has gotten so far out of hand that almost everyday the powers that be are uncov

Are You Working ‘On’ or ‘In’ Your Business?

“You have to see the pattern, understand the order and experience the vision.” ~ Michael Gerber Yes, I know. The title of this article may sound confusing, so let me clearly state what the difference is between working ‘in’ your business versus working ‘on’ it.

Is Money the Only Motivator of Your Business?

“Do what you love and the money will follow.” - Marsha Sinetar “Do what you love and the money will follow” principle sounds simple, but it’s not always effortless to do. It is really easy to get off track in your business while travelling the road to success. For example, a while back I was lamenting to my coach about how my business had become a struggle.
