Saturday, February 28th, 2009As I’ve posted recently, this is a great time to lend your skills to those that could benefit from them the most. I’m not talking about writing checks. We all have skills writing checks unfortunately. I’m talking about paring off 2% of the time you dedicate to your workday, your coffee ritual, or your family [...]
Search and Destroy
Friday, January 23rd, 2009[I already got the gizzmo boiling at this entity. Yeah Hothead! -- see below] I was shopping for a few new pieces in a line of German ski clothing I like. I like their streetwear; don’t need their $900 jackets. Yeah… kjus. You know it. Anyway, here are the mundane steps that I had to take to [...]
Make it a great day?
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Heard a voicemail today that ended with “… and make it a great day!… Yuck. It reminds me of this guy I knew as a kid that drove Fieros. Two of them. Until one burned. His name is Irving Shane. He still has the perma smile picture cause it’s on his current website. He would do the back-slap mantra [...]
In defense of California
Monday, January 12th, 2009There was an interesting headline on yahoo today. This makes all my friends in other states chuckle I’m sure. California is still the promised land. It’s a matter of knowing how to handle yourself through thick and thin. All things being equal, (50 states that ALL go through tough times) I’d rather be in this [...]
Today’s the day
Monday, January 12th, 2009Today’s the day. I don’t know what today is going to bring but it’s the day that I effect change in all the things (98% of what we encounter, every day) I can control. Are you ready? Are you going to close the deal, finish the punch list, or complete a project? Why not? Today’s [...]
Are your channels of communication clear?
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009I had a complaint to my very local Albertson’s. The store is old, tired, dirty, leaky and in this case the fine print on their coupon wasn’t clear. I contacted the toll free number (I hate toll free numbers) at Albertson’s HQ in Idaho. In the LA market, 3/5 Albertson’s I go to are in [...]
Love is in the air
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009I am saying “I love you” more this year. You may have heard it from me recently. You may get it soon. I may not say this to the guy who runs the grocery store or my client and in business conversations, but the people that serve me and the people that stop their day [...]
Good one
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009Someone I know twittered to say he was doing his “don’t” list instead of the todo. I love this one and will begin mine now. What’s on your don’t list?
Keep it in mind
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009Not a resolution guy but here are some good thoughts and action items to keep in mind in 2009. Do one regularly and you’ll rule. END A QUARREL. SEEK OUT A FORGOTTEN FRIEND. DISMISS SUSPICION, AND REPLACE IT WITH TRUST. WRITE A LOVE LETTER. SHARE A SECRET WITH A TRUSTED FRIEND. GIVE A SOFT ANSWER WHEN YOU [...]
