In 2015, if you’re standing still… If you’re holding on to the old model… If you’re stuck in your comfort zone… If you think new technology is for the younger generation… If you’re not adapting to this new norm of constant change… If you’re stuck doing things the way you always have… I have breaking Read More

Are you stopping 3 feet from GOLD?
Over the past few of years, I’ve made a number of references in my post about the book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I’ve also quoted Napoleon Hill quite often on my radio show. Nevertheless, the majority of my blog readers and radio listeners still have not taken the time to read this phenomenal, life changing Read More
Too many TO DO’s?
This past Friday, I had a drink with a fellow life coach and friend of mine. During our conversation, he shared how he had been using ‘TO DO’ lists, which served as more of a distraction from his true priorities, than a pathway towards completion of the important task. As I drove home that evening, Read More
Who is your worst enemy?
I’m often asked about the time involved in creating this weekly blog. The answer; it depends. Sometimes I’ll write an article months or weeks before it’s posted. Other times, I receive some fresh perspective and inspiration that changes my direction, and presents a new idea, superseding what I’ve already written, started to write or plan Read More
Baby Steps!
Late last year, I wrote a blog post titled,”Success vs. Mediocrity”, where I mentioned a finding that I came across while listening to Earl Nightingale tapes. In one of his recordings, Mr. Nightingale shared that the measurable difference between a man or woman of achievement and success, in contrast to a man or woman of Read More
How to go from motivation and inspiration into ACTION!
I attended a conference about ten years ago, where a number of business leaders and motivational speakers gave inspirational talks that seemed to move my very soul. Their words seemed to light a fire within me and awaken the urge and hunger to succeed. Towards the end of their talk, each of these speakers promised Read More
Are you a WINNER?
Recently, I was standing in the check-out line at my neighborhood Walgreens. While purchasing a few items for the house, I noticed an interesting exchange. The gentleman in front of me was completing his transaction with the cashier, and as she handed him his receipt, she began explaining the survey option at the bottom. She shared Read More
Sandbags and Barricades
This past Thursday, Chicago got hit by a ferocious flood. During this flood, water ran rampant in certain neighborhoods throughout the city, destroying homes, cars, landmarks and just about anything else that lay in its wake. This weekend, as I was driving through my neighborhood, I noticed that one particular street was completely closed and Read More
The Purpose For Having a Purpose
Two thousand years ago, when a sailor started a journey, he would chart a course using nautical maps and then use the stars to ensure he was on course. When the skies were overcast, a seafaring vessel could lose valuable time drifting in the water, waiting for a sign that they were headed in the Read More
What’s Funking Up Your Life?
This past week, I used garlic to prepare a meal in my home. As you know, regardless of its health benefits, garlic has a very distinct smell. I hadn’t noticed how strong of a stench the garlic created until I stepped out of the house for a bit and returned home. As I opened my Read More
