Thursday, May 12th, 2011[sorry - been out of commission. new job. out of town. back in black. new music :: One Eskim0 - "Amazing"]
Started the new gig.
Great.
Period.
Sure, there are new things to consider. New people. Possibly new drama.
But one thing I’m grateful for is IQ.
It’s always an elitist sounding thing, but I am serious when I say IQ [...]
Work
Friday, March 25th, 2011“Work” - What is it?
Is it the stage where you show your real self?
Is it the cringe of necessity that you avoid everyday?
It’s entirely up to you.
I recently became active in an astute network of sales professionals and I’d have to say, they make the old adage “it’s what you make it” — and today [...]
RAK
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011I’m a big proponent of Random Acts of Kindness.
I saw on Springwise that RAK is winding its way into day to day business now and that’s a great thing. I will always be one of those that believe the little, tiny, things we do every day without any thought of what it may return [...]
Daniel Pink and RSA Animate
Monday, December 13th, 2010Love this stuff. I read the book and told you about it last year.
Thanks to BCBCBC, I was able to show you. Please take 10 minutes on your coffee/smoke/doobie break and watch this. You might need the full screen mode to get out of my small blog limitations.
Are you a purpose motivator?
You should be.
sincerity
Sunday, December 5th, 2010There’s something hard about sincerity. People just aren’t naturally attracted to that vortex. In the modern approach, we want to make it all sound so so “right”. That may mean that we aren’t truthful.
This approach always careens of course.
In the years of being a seller I’ve learned to guide my [...]
us
Thursday, November 18th, 2010[editor's note -- i had this post kind of sitting in "draft" for a while. then i read peter bregman's post and it motivated me to open up. -- thanks peter!]
Along life’s trail and as the road turns, we all come upon places where we need assistance to make it across a ravine or maybe [...]
Yesterday
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010It’s time to rise above. Move on. Go forth.
The news out there is not good. Don’t stand in front of a television or near a radio these days.
You’ll cry and probably burn your eyes.
Remember that every motion in the universe is cyclical.
Great notice I saw on the wall of a pizza shop yesterday :: Don’t [...]
I’m a Craig’s List Success Story
Friday, October 22nd, 2010There’s been a lot of talk about Craig’s List (CL) and the perils of open-networked social selling.
You have an iPad for sale. A stranger arrives at your home. He kills you instead. I’m not making light of the real-life incidents that had some relation to CL. But look at the subjective vs the objective (or [...]
Rising
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010Rising is what we’re doing.
It’s the best part of scary. Leaving the ground in a plane to get to some place else. Scary maybe, but worthy.
We are rising now and it’s great.
Glad we continue to test scary and think you should too.
Unglue yourself from the tired and old. Open those eyes to something fresh. Give [...]
New
Saturday, October 9th, 2010Remember when you were 11 and Christmas came?
You opened the new toys and gifts you received with haste and abandon. Everything smelled new. It was pristine. There was no history. No bad mojo. You’d go to bed that night and see lots of the previous Christmas’s stuff in your closet and realize that it wouldn’t [...]
