Getting Over Idol Fever
Recently I watched a somewhat cheesy movie, Rockstar, where Mark Wahlburg plays an obsessed cover band singer who is impersonating a popular 80’s heavy metal band. Chris, the main character, takes his role so seriously that he learns everything he can about the lead singer – and completely imitates every facet of the guy’s life from his hair to his leather pants to how he sings.

Is Giving Vital to Business Growth?
The other day my friendly Trader Joes check out guy said, “Are you doing anything cool for the holidays?” I think I shocked him with my answer of “Why yes, we just dropped some toys off at the Holiday Drive and I’m enjoying finding unique ways to give this year.” Stunned, he responded, “I leave all that giving stuff to others.

How to Conquer your “Control Freak” to Increase Results
As entrepreneurs, our strengths can become our greatest weaknesses. By nature we are fast paced, highly creative risk takers.
