Welcome to our Team

By virtue of reading this blog, you are a member of an elite community.  You may never have an opportunity like the one you do right now to learn, share and grow with me and other authors in developing your personal brand.

Knowledge without action is great for conversations at barbecues and cocktail parties.  You are better than that and I suspect have aspirations far greater or you would not take the time to read this blog.  I implore you to start the process of changing your experience by changing your behavior.  I am not suggesting that you tear apart your entire process but I am suggesting that you look under the hood occasionally to make sure that you are not running out of oil.  Fortunately, you are halfway there by soaking up the insight disseminated by this talented team each week.

Our goals are your goals.  We have no hidden agenda other than helping you to be more successful. We are here to share information and our experiences while also listening and offering guidance.  If you insist on reading and not acting then you are making a huge mistake.  I am also curious as to how you plan to improve your situation right now while also planning for your future if you are resistant to new ideas.  I get it that change is uncomfortable but being a “me too” brand is uncomfortable the last time I checked.  You can certainly travel this road by yourself. My recommendation would be to jump in the “HOV” lane with us and cruise by the other cars stuck in traffic. We all have choices.  Choose wisely my friend!

It is about progress not perfection.

A machine learning model read the lives of 2,800 people between 39 and 93 to find who actually spends old age giving to the next generation, and the strongest predictor was not income or health or even emotional stability

The way a partner reacts when you come home with small, ordinary good news, a minor raise or a good sandwich, can tell you something about the relationship that the hard days don’t, and researchers were surprised to find that quietly being happy for you isn’t quite enough

The instant a chosen act becomes an unconscious habit was always thought to be gradual, and watching the research describe it as abrupt feels like reading a description of your own attention going quiet

For a century we believed habits form slowly through repetition. New research suggests the change happens abruptly and that trying too hard may be why it doesn’t
