Why It’s Not Working For You

People are hungry creatures by nature. Hungry to be liked; hungry to be loved; hungry to be respected; hungry to be successful. That’s good. Without hunger, we have no drive. Without drive, we have no goals. Without goals, we have no yardstick to base our success on. And so the circle comes back around. The problem is, people are more often than not getting speed hungry. They want the like, the love, the respect and the success yesterday. So they…read more

The Commitment of Success

It’s scary being unsure. It’s a lot different from being sure. Instead of the safety net of knowledge, there’s the daunting chasm of uncertainty. It’s not easy to step from the warmth of the old to the chill of the new. The same goes for commitment. It takes a lot to commit. Especially if you’re someone that needs certain guarantees before you make the leap. Otherwise the check book is staying in your pocket until the next discussion. The problem…read more

The Problem with Influence

I just read something by a friend that’s both interesting and sad at the same time (and sad as in lame, not as in Bambi). My friend mentioned that he was speaking to a well-known PR guy and author a few months back. The topic of the conversation was a site for bloggers and authors that my friend works at. According to the PR guy, the site would never be much of a success because he (the PR guy and…read more

Tick Tock

Tick tock. The sound of a clock. The sound of watching the minutes go by. The sound of boredom. The sound of anywhere but here. Silence. The sound of creativity at work. The sound of not really feeling like a job. The sound of expressing yourself. The sound of making things happen the way you want them to. The sound of success.  You’re not encouraging clock watching, are you?
