Pistachios are a healthy snack that I love. The shells are pretty much worthless though. Maybe like things we do that are void of heart, soul, emotion & presence. Back in 2009 an exercise changed my life. Walking outside every day and proclaiming my definite purpose. The belief it helped me build felt unstoppable. Over …
My grandma (90 years young) and my Grandpa (98 years young) are 2 of my heroes in life. Last week my Grandma had a mini-stroke and when I went in to visit her in the hospital the first thing she said was, “I’m so sorry we missed your birthday, I have a card for you …

Good character can lead to a good reputation but in our day of Public Relations, Marketing and spin, it’s quite possible to have …
I was reading a little book on influential communication the other week. It’s called “Exactly What To Say” and it’s by Phil M Jones (in case you’re curious). He shared a great closing tip. When you get to the point where you know your prospect likes what they see and are now just looking for …
Yesterday as I was re-watching the replay of our round robin mastermind on blogging and reflecting on mistakes I’ve made in the past – I remembered 1 I didn’t mention on the webinar.
