Until You Have all the Facts…

Have you ever jumped to a hasty conclusion only to regret your initial assumptions? I once heard a story about a father riding on a subway with his two young sons. The boys were swinging from the rafters, so to speak, and it seemed as if the father was utterly oblivious to their behavior. Obviously,... Continue Reading →

Would You Pay $36,500 for a Diet Coke?

I know that question sounds crazy; however, I did and actually much, much more.  My story starts with the freedom of getting my driver's license as a sixteen-year-old.  I was already hooked on diet soft drinks, so whenever I stopped to buy gas for my car, I would treat myself to an extra-large Diet Coke...

How Are You Showing Up?

The first time I ever heard that question was from my long-time mentor Andy Andrews. He was speaking live at a large business convention and shared the story about how his mentor, Jones, asked him that very question. Andy was a young man then, and the answer would change his life. The critical question is... Continue Reading →

Time Proved Me Right

The golf bug bit me at age 11, and I've loved the game all my life. As a freshman in high school, I found myself on the golf team, desperate to hit the ball further. At 5'7" and 130 lbs., I needed to put on some weight and get stronger for golf. Oddly enough, one... Continue Reading →

How Are You Shaping Your Path?

How are you shaping your path?  You may not know what I'm referring to if you've not read the book, Switch by Chip and Dan Heath.  You see, you have two brains which the authors represent with the analogy of an elephant and a rider.  The rider represents your logical "thinky" brain which typically runs...
