Are you a generalist or a specialist? Do you do what everyone else in your industry does, maybe just with a little different flair, or so you think, or are you someone who truly stands out in a crowded and noisy marketplace because of who you are, the unique set of problems youâve chosen to sol...
I have some questions for you:
Do you consider yourself to be an expert? If so, how did you become an expert? How long did it take you and what did it cost you? Not just in actual dollars, but how much did it cost you in time and effort on your way to becoming an expert? How would you define y...
Results! Thatâs the standard the world uses to judge almost everything. In business, especially, the only thing that really matters is how much money ends up in the coffers after all the bills are paid. Of course, you and I know that's not ALL that matters, but the results of our activities are...
Say the word âsuccessâ, and what comes to your mind? We all have our own ideas about and definitions of success. Yes, there is a definition in the dictionary (the accomplishment of an aim or a principle), but we all think slightly differently about the word success and it is dependent on our up...

You know what they say about opinions; theyâre like (insert body part), everybodyâs got one. And itâs true, unless the middle part of your brain has been damaged or removed, we all have opinions about certain things. Opinions are good, theyâre healthy, until, of course, they arenât. When your m...
Since around the age of 16, I have been something of a collector. No, not comic books, not trinkets, not baubles, not those silly plates from boardwalk tourist shops. No, what I started collecting almost 36 years ago was advice. Advice that I thought was the best advice for a young kid who want...
When I was 19 years old, I decided I wanted some adventure in my life, so I applied to and was accepted into a very unique live-in student program in Chicago studying Zen meditation and the martial art of Aikido. One of the first things the founder and chief instructor of the program said to me...
