Don’t Follow the Crowd

Let’s face it.  We play it safe.  We like things that are guaranteed and easy.  We aren’t too thrilled about venturing outside of our comfort zone. But you may be sitting there right now with an idea, a vision of something you want to do, but feel it it’s a little crazy.  You may be […]

Faith and Fearlessness

I’m on a plane coming back from Dallas.  I took my daughter there for a cheer camp.  Cheerleading is so different than when I was young.   No pom-poms, no chants, just amazing athletes flipping and flying through the air. I was sitting in the bleachers watching my daughter be thrown 30 feet, upside down, when […]

People say that motivation doesn’t last.  Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.  ~Zig Ziglar We motivate people every day – our kids, employees, prospects, bosses, spouses, friends or people we hire to provide a service for us.  There are times when we need to put a little fire under someone’s […]

The Power of Visioning

I’ve been at my son’s baseball tournaments for over a week now.  Needless to say, the parents have countless hours to talk and get to know each other.   We were talking about our kids’ futures in baseball.  Every single one of them said they didn’t know if their son will play in college and […]

How to Get Back on Track

Can you believe that June is almost over?  Summer is here, kids are home and our schedules are whacky. I don’t know about you, but I find it harder to be productive in the summer when it’s beautiful outside and the kids want to go to the beach, Disney or anywhere but home.  It’s easy […]

Raise Your Standards

Yesterday, I had someone come over to do some work at my house.  He was a successful guy, married with kids.  We started talking (as I always seem to do with everyone) and it seemed that everything out of his mouth was a testimony as to why he didn’t have what he wanted in life. […]

On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you? What would need to happen for you to be at a 10? Rarely ever does someone say 10, however, someone did yesterday. My dear friend was in a car accident and could have been killed. But by the grace of God, he came out without a […]

The Cycle of Opportunity

I’m on a plane flying home from LA where I attended an amazing conference with business guru Ali Brown. She has created a multi-million dollar company and was on stage for two days, 7 months pregnant with twins. Just plain amazing. There were 250 women and 2 men in the room. Yes guys, the best […]

Live with Intentionality

Lately I feel I have been living on the road. My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and all her competitions are out of town or out of state. Same with my son’s baseball. When you have kids, you somehow magically transform into a limo service. (I like to say limo instead of taxi, it makes […]

Break the Chains

I read that 40% of what we do every day is done out of habit. That means that almost half our life is spent on autopilot! I decided to watch myself closely everyday for a week to see what I was really doing, the good and the bad. Working out monday through friday – Good! […]
