  • Take 100% Responsibility

    Until you take full responsibility for where you are in life at this moment, you can't take ownership of creating the future of your dreams. Without admitting that you are in life exactly where you have put yourself, you will never be able to believe you can place yourself in a better situation.  In other…

  • Dare to Believe it for Yourself

    You can succeed.  You have the right stuff.  The seeds of greatness reside deep inside you; all that's required is for you to water them with dreams and effort.   Why is it so difficult for people to believe great things for themselves? Do they really think other people (the ones succeeding in life and…

  • Life is Deceptively Easy to Squander

    Don't forget to actually live while you're alive. Life is deceptively easy to squander, first minute by minute, then day by day, unto years. Take the time to reflect on your true priorities. Then live them. If you do, you will be among the rarest breeds on earth; that marvelous species that lives on purpose.

  • Leadership Nuggets

    The uniform of leadership is thick skin. Winners play hurt. The battle in the trenches of habit is where success is won or lost. Leaders are dealers in perspective. In a crisis, leaders keep their heads because they keep their perspective. The pursuit of service and significance is the surest route to happiness. Everyone will…

  • Priorities

    Decisions are easy to make if you are clear on your priorities. Also, clear priorities lead to productivity. It's when people respond to the urgent more than the important that things go off track. Or, when everything is important, nothing is important. When everything is urgent, nothing is urgent.  So do yourself a favor. Sit…

  • Listen Up!

    For the most part I am against multi-tasking. It demeans any task to which one is attending because it divides one’s full effort. Also, it clutters the mind. In the end, the result of multi-tasking is often shabby work and frazzled nerves.   So much for theory. In practice, none of us can help a…

  • Greatness is Available; on the Other Side of ‘No’

    Greatness is available.  That simple sentence is so powerful I want to encourage you to read it again and really think about it: Greatness is available. Most people, however, never make the choice or the pursuit. Why? I believe it's because of the fear of rejection. Said another way, and to quote authors Richard Fenton…

  • Roots vs. Leaves

    Leadership, like genius, often involves making something complex seem simple. Leaders must learn to simplify the world and situations around them in a fashion that produces more effective results. Specifically, too many times leaders fall into the trap of hacking away at leaves while ignoring the roots. A quote by college football coach Lou Holtz…

  • Take Time to Think

    It's a busy world, but that's no excuse. Take time to think. There are bills to pay and mouths to feed, but that's no excuse. Take time to think. I've got to run, I'm late already, but that's no excuse. Take time to think. Can't stop now.  More time tomorrow.  But that's no excuse. Take…

  • The Power of Fun

    I believe one weapon in a leader’s arsenal ought to be humor and the ability to laugh. I have seen my team-mate and co-author Orrin Woodward do this on numerous occasions; lighten a tense situation with humor. The most effective kind of humor is laughing at one’s self. The least effective is sarcasm (unless directed…
