Should you entrepreneur?
I just read Seth Godin’s blog http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/10/questions-for-a-new-entrepreneur.html and wondered how many people really think about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Is it a mindset or can anyone do it? Yes, it’s a mindset, and no,...
Scardy Cats
Entrepreneurs and business owners need to know how to take risks that’s the nature of the beast yet we often find in our society that we teach fear and caution in so many subtle ways. I was presenting a training program at a new facility in LA that has scanners and I...
Scarcity
What is it about the human condition that causes us to immediately take action when we are afraid of being left out? Think “sale one day only” and we have to buy even if we don’t need it. Sadly the concept has been overused. Growing up I remember January was the...
Save me from sales webinars!
I was suckered again.. Shame on me; you’d think I would learn not to waste an hour of my time waiting for any nugget of wisdom or insight. But noooooooo!!!! I get an invite from a national speaker I’d heard a lot about and I set aside an hour to listen. I know I have...

Resolutions Goals is it all BS
All the pundits are jumping on the bandwagon yes do resolutions yes do goals no don’t do resolutions no don’t do goals… ARRGGGGHHHHH Ok, we can stop listening to everyone and do what we always did and oops get what we always got or we can look at what is the purpose...
Reinvent for Growth
As humans, we are often resistant to change. I remember a company I once worked for that started in 1939 and the president of the company said this is the way we have done it and will do it. You should have seen them when they had to switch to computers in the 80’s...
Rebirth and Reflection
I love the fall, not just the change of seasons, (ok that’s my east coast roots) but the thrill of new beginnings; the clean notebooks waiting for brilliance, the new books to be opened and the new friends to be made. This is when my mother did the intensive fall...
