Dream BIG Dreams AND Follow Through (The FRONT #72)

by Mike Phillips

Today is about dreaming BIG dreams AND following through! I love big dreams. And people that have BIG dreams. I like people that chase things that are larger than themselves. There is a difference between a dream with a goal attached and just a dream – A dream is just a series of thoughts, images, […]

Creating A Movement

by Mike Phillips

There are movements taking place all over business right now. These movements form when people are working together towards a common goal or idea to make an impact and real change. They change other people, or environments, or even entire industries… or more. (I’ll share some business centered groups of awesome people that are changing their environments at […]

Staying Positive When The Going Gets Tough (The FRONT #71)

by Mike Phillips

When the going gets tough… the successful stay positive. I was inspired this weekend – we have the Winter Olympics going on, that’s always great competition. And I enjoy watching things like that because there are people that demonstrate discipline, consistency, perseverance, and leadership, including leadership of oneself. Plus as a BONUS – My son […]

WINNING (The FRONT #70)

by Mike Phillips

Today, on The FRONT the theme is about winning. Not just winning in a competition or competitive environment such as athletics, but winning in business.

by Mike Phillips

It’s also fun to see what was relevant in our lives before and what is important now. I think the principles I was discussing seven years ago are still […]

by Mike Phillips

Happy Valentine’s Day 2018! Today, I decided to do a Facebook Live! For episode #68. To tell my wife and my family – THANK YOU! So often, as managers or leaders, we get tied up. We get busy. We forget to just say, “thank you,” to those that are continually supporting us throughout our crazy […]

Some Leadership Notes (The FRONT #67)

by Mike Phillips

Today, I just compiled some of my thoughts on paper and put together five leadership notes. Many people think they are leaders. Some are correct… and frankly, some are not. Sometimes people are just wrong in their assessment. Right now, in 2018, anyone with some social accounts and money to spend on ads can stake […]
