I Hate Museums

Okay, that opening title is a bit dramatic. First, as my wife reminds the kids–and me–we don’t HATE anything. Second, even if I DID hate something, I don’t REALLY hate museums. At least not all of them, just certain kinds. But what was valuable is that I learned something this week about myself. And, Pascal would be [...]

Coachability

Here’s a short entry that, I believe, is a key success factor in life…Maybe one of the success factors for YOUR life. And this will also help me break my complete absence of blog posts in the last ten days. I also read the leadership books, magazines, listen to the stories and the speakers, and blah [...]

What Could You Live Without?

This is a great story about a family that decided to take a plunge, and do something different. And while they went to a different extreme than most of us ever will, the premise stopped and made me think. Differently. And, hopefully, change the course of some decisions we make financially and for others. Thanks [...]

A friend passed this onto me today, thanks Jan, and it’s such “postable” blog material I had to put it up right away but not without a few comments first. It starts a little slow and just keeps morphing into this amazing story of a determined spirit to succeed, find a passion and commit to it, [...]

Okay, so here it is...The vlog I've been postponing for ten days. Please, don't even watch it. I was compelled to post it by a Beatles song from 40-years ago. Yeah, I know. It makes no sense. To me, either. I am just trying to follow a "sign."

From NBA to Mayor of Detroit

From NBA to Mayor of Detroit

When he reached retirement age, Dave Bing got himself a job he never wanted. Mayor of Detroit? He wanted no part of it. “I really didn’t want him to do it,” his wife, Yvette, says. “None of us wanted him to do it,” adds one of his three daughters, Cassaundra. For years Bing’s old Syracuse roommate, Jim Boeheim, [...]

3 Rules of Success

3 Rules of Success

A great drill down into THREE SIMPLE RULES for success. Too often we overcomplicate. Thanks, William Green, for breaking it down… “I’m a proud plumber’s son from Western Massachusetts. In my family, working with tools is the highest honor. It isn’t how many degrees you have. It’s what you can do. So that had a big [...]

Happy New Year! Now, Let’s Just DO IT!

Happy New Year! Now, Let’s Just DO IT!

I used to scoff a bit at the New Year’s resolutions. But no more… Everybody needs a “restart.” It’s one of the things that made high school or college so great; every year, or ever Semester, you got a do-over. But once you get into working adulthood, the do-overs are a LOT less frequent, and while [...]
