Yesterday, I coached a client around the question of how to keep moving forward with marketing and product/service development when the spark simply isn’t there. Now for the most part, I think that what we create is far more brilliant when the spark of passion and creativity is present. Anything less, and it runs the [...]

September 20, 2010 By 2 Comments
I glanced at a blog article headline the other day that started with “unbridled passion”. Although I didn’t take the time to read the article (I’ve been following the Feelgoodz story elsewhere), the concept of unbridled passion grabbed me. Passion is the lifeblood of every successful entrepreneur. In fact, I’m pretty passionate about passion when [...]

I had the opportunity yesterday to hang out with a group of people I wouldn’t normally spend time with. They are really great people; it’s just that our paths wouldn’t normally cross in a typical day. It was a really fascinating experience to observe a different slice of life than I’m used to.

How often do we miss out on opportunities that could change everything for us simply because we’ve put on blinders to the world around us?

Can you remember a time in your life when you thought anything was possible? When you were inspired by a dream you believed could actually happen and in some way make this world a better place for all of us? I believe many people have a dream like that at one time or another. The [...]

If you’re expecting me to say mindset or marketing strategies or the latest technology gizmo, you’ll be sorely disappointed. While those are certainly important, my best secret weapon for success is none of those things. It’s people. Not just any people either.

“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.” — from Inception Since the beginning of time, ideas have captivated the hearts and minds of millions.

I believe the world is meant to be an exquisite tapestry with each person a uniquely individual hue, together making up the whole of a beautiful masterpiece. Sadly, this tapestry is not as it is meant to be. Many of us, from a very young age, are taught to hide our true color. We are [...]

Do you ever struggle with too much to do and not enough time? It’s a recurring theme in my life, and I know many other business owners run into this snag over and over again too. Too often, it seems like life simply takes over, and all those well-intentioned goals simply never see fruition. Sometimes [...]
