Dream on
“Dreams are made for the now, and goals are for the future.” (Devin Oten) Talking to a close friend of mine recently about Love, Life and Happiness made me think about what’s most important in life; Pursuing love, living life to the fullest, or chasing my portion of happiness? The answer is they all coincide. […]

Stay Within Yourself
“A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the world will always keep their eyes on the spot where the crack was.” (Joseph Hall) Whatever you set your hand and mind to do, do it with character and integrity. The pressures of life sometimes cause us to step outside of who we are. Remember, […]

Enjoy Life
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” (Mae West) I know I should follow my own advice when I say enjoy life. Life is more than working and climbing the corporate ladder. Stop to smell the roses and maybe buy a rose or two along the way. My late […]

Opportunity Awaits
“Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.” (Victor Hugo) I have been searching for an opportunity to become a millionaire. In doing so, I have learned many lessons that should be passed along as I move forward on this journey. Our words frame life and actions […]

You have plans?
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” (Allen Saunders) Every plan should have some flexibility for change and expansion. Every massive building is designed to handle tension or stress because surrounding circumstances can and may be altered by interference or forces outside of its control. “Plan your work and work […]

This WORKS for Me
One of my favorite quotes from the Bible is, “Give me success this day.” I would often quote this verse to myself throughout the course of each day, and as I recall this habit of my past, I remember having success of some sort every day. I started today by saying, “Give ME Success This […]

The Character Question
“Dreams are the touchstones of our character.” (Henry David Thoreau) “Character is what you are in the dark…” When no one is looking, are you the same person? Are you consistent in your decision-making and how you conduct business? Maybe you are partial in judgments? Those who do not need an escort, those who are […]

Popular Apps in iTunes…
What is the most popular App in the iTunes Store? Is it any surprise that Facebook is number 1, but can you name any of the Top 10 besides Facebook? When this question was posed, I immediately thought of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and some sort of music app, which Pandora made the Top 10 List […]

Get out of your own way!
“The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants them to do, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” (Theodore Roosevelt) In my book Executive Level Mentality I have a section where I state, “Create a Vision and then get […]

What’s your Why?
Find what truly makes you happy and chase it like there is no tomorrow! The happiest people in life are those who do what they love daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and in some cases hourly. I challenge you to find what makes you happy and refuse to lose in your quest to attain it.

Be a DOER
“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.” (Sarah Ban Breathnach) Are you a doer or just a dreamer? A doer of a dream is a powerful change agent. Unless something motivates us to awaken and strive for excellence each day, we will never reach […]

Make the tough decision…
“I have to make a lot of decisions that aren’t in the best interests of individuals, whether they be owners, club executives, players.” (Roger Goodell) Making decisions that impact others can be callous and stressful! The best interest of the whole is more important than the individual in most cases when making those decisions. Weigh […]
