Do What You Can

rYvziu

Don’t have an hour today to spend on an important project, marketing, social networking, blogging, or whatever is on your list to move your business forward? Then spend 30 minutes.  Or 15 minutes. Whatever time you’ve got, do what you can. I was on Google+ earlier today, avoiding my daily workout because I knew I [...]

Stop Being Fuzzy. Move Forward. It Matters.

What keeps some people moving forward while others struggle at the starting line? I’ve had quite a few friends and colleagues ask me lately, ” What’s different?”  They see me getting things done and putting more out there and want to know what’s changed.

We’re a little over three weeks into the year… and by now many “New Year’s Resolutions” have been abandoned… great plans have been filed right in that round bin labeled “trash”… But does that mean failure?

But after you make that first exciting, courageous decision… you’ve got to keep making the decision every single day to move forward and succeed. I’ve got [...]

Three words to focus on for 2012. Last year I used the three words strategy (Breathe. Balance. Grow.) and did great focusing on it until we moved half way through the year and I forgot to put the words back up on my bulletin board.  But when I looked back over the year, I realized [...]

Mistakes.  We’ve all made them. A very smart man once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” ~Albert Einstein And it’s true. It’s easy to let a fear of making a mistake hold us back and stop us from taking bigger steps forward. “Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you [...]
