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 […]
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. Winning in business unlike winning in a competition such as sports, or board games, or arm wrestling is not by pushing past an opponent. One vast difference – in a […]
This came through my feed (my wife’s actually) from 7 years ago today. Sometimes, it’s worth looking back only to see how far along we’ve come. 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 […]
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.

Everything is possible. “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, ‘I’m possible!’” ~ Audrey Hepburn I love this quote and I live this quote. I have a true belief that when you want to fulfill a dream badly enough you can always accomplish what you set out to do. When your goal and your faith […]
I have had several salespeople lately refer to “burn out.” So I thought I would put my spin on how to work through it. What determines if you are burned out? By definition, burn out is physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress. (Unless you are Mike Davenport – here – LOL) Overwork […]
Just like any other lead or sale… social customers take work! From my guest blog on the TECOBI site, so this seems fitting tonight. And note, I’m not an employee or an affiliate of TECOBI; I am a fan, however. I believe in Facebook and other social advertising to generate sales leads. This can be […]
