What we do in Life…

Echoes for Eternity. In the Leadership Essentials class that I delivered at Zappos, we said that “We are building this company for our grandchildren”.

The Best Investment…

We can ever make is in our Mind and Body…and learning new things to help us is Never a waste of time. We are not born with all the answers and secrets that will help us be as healthy as possible, and we might have even been raised with some things that are not so… Read more »

Ever get Excited…

And it seems to come out of nowhere?? Take it and run with it – without hesitation! Many times we go cruising along, from day to day and week to week, just going about our business and only getting excited occasionally, because we are focused on what’s in front of us and not what’s around… Read more »

When one door closes…

Other doors always open up. Yet some of us don’t see the other doors opening, because our focus stays on the door that has closed. That’s the key to “Spinning it and Winning it”.

How does your…

Positive train leave the station? Does it take until that first cup of coffee? Which is your turning “set point”…good to have a starting line. Or do you do it “reptilian style” and take your time, as you start to move around and get warmed up and get the blood flowing?…slow and sure is always… Read more »

Reprimand in Private…

(if we have to) and Praise in Public. A Good Rule to live by. Everybody knows their own faults and weaknesses,so there is no need to have others know them as well. And since we all strive for Acknowledgment and Recognition, Praise should be done in Public. And it makes no difference if it concerns… Read more »

Everybody has a life…

They create around themselves. It’s a very important message which we must all take to heart, because if we don’t, our live can spin out of control. Just look around you…is there peace and quite and order in your life? Or is there turmoil, drama and chaos all around. Whatever it is, you have created… Read more »
