Every second counts… In your life and in your business! That might seem obvious to you… and it should. And, I see so many people – and business owners – wasting time, spinning their wheels, and thinking somebody else will solve their problems that it bears repeating. You’re responsible. You and you alone. You are…
In the business world, the dilemma of whether to blend in or stand out is critical. This decision shapes careers and influences market positions. It’s not simply a choice between conformity and differentiation but a strategic balancing act. Blending in is often perceived as the safer route, especially when establishing your business. Aligning with industry…
A few days ago, I saw a commercial with Dawn Staley (in case you don’t know… she’s the current University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball coach, former college, WNBA and Olympic basketball player) in it where she was talking about a program called “See Her”. It’s a campaign about how far women’s sports have come…
In just a few days, we’ll officially be halfway through this year. This is a great time to take some time to really reflect on where you are and what you want to accomplish for the rest of the year. This applies to all areas of your business… and your life. Are you halfway to…
In my 30+ years in business, I don’t think I’ve ever talked to a business owner who, at some point, didn’t talk about needing more clients and leads.

Agree or Disagree? I saw this posted several times on social media in the last week or so and every time, people jump on the bandwagon of agreeing with this statement. Except me… My response was if you really feel that way, you’re doing something wrong! Very wrong… My guess is most of the people…
It’s college softball tournament time and last weekend was the first round of regionals. Friday evening I tuned in to watch my alma mater, the University of Missouri (Mizzou), play their first game. They were ranked #7 and should have easily beaten Omaha – who was unranked. Well, they play the games for a reason……
I was at the gym this morning – I’m not usually a morning exerciser, I prefer to go in the afternoon, and before the after-work crowd. I was between sets on the bench press when it hit me that I had prioritized my health this morning. I’m teaching a class today at 4pm and because…
