Reinvent for Growth
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 very scary. I applaud them that they are now on social media and although they have adapted they have not...
"F" in multitasking
“F” in multitasking
Sorry to all you texter, app users out there but you are lousy at multitasking no matter what you believe and even more you are lousy at interpersonal relationships! Ok there I’ve had my rant!
I was sitting in the movies and could see the cell phone light as someone was texting; talk about distracting and rude. What was the need to disrupt others? What was so...
Are you perfect?
Are you perfect?
No I am not referring to the spiritual and I know when you were born your parents thought you were perfect. I saw “Black Swan” and saw the work invested to be perfect. Here’s the problem with perfection; striving for it we lose our vulnerability and humanness that connects us with others.
I am certainly not telling you to do mediocre work; what I am saying is be the best you...
One Step At A Time.
One step at a time
I often say you eat the elephant one bite at a time but don’t we all want it all right now. Ok I’ve been dieting for at least 24 hours I should have lost 10 pounds. I sent out my newsletter I expect 5-10 new qualified clients now.. After sending out all those resumes I deserve to have several job offers.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful it if that’s how it worked or would it? There...
Do You Dare Disconnect??
Do You Dare Disconnect?
What would happen if you turned off the cell phone and computer for 24 hours? Would you go through withdrawal? Could you last??
I have noticed 2 interesting behaviors. In the 1st people are so concerned about who is texting or e-mailing them that they need to see it immediately and they become distracted from the task at hand. In the book “The 4-hour work Week”, it is...
What is the NEW normal for YOUR business?
What is the new normal for your business?
Many sociologists are seeing changes in how Americans spend or (yay) save their money. They see a shift back to some of what Abraham Maslow sited in the hierarchy of needs with less relevance on material and more on esteem and basics. (If you are unfamiliar with Maslow I encourage you to either read about him or better yet ask me. He is invaluable for...

It’s 1/10/11 How are the Resolutions?
How you doin’? Are you still enthusiastic or is life getting in the way? Are you making the phone calls? Doing the networking creating the projects?
We all make great promises to ourselves and have the best intentions to fulfill our goals and achieve what we desire until the gremlin appears. You might have a different name for the voice that says “who...
Resolutions Goals, is it all BS??
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 of any of this?
Setting a resolution that isn’t realistic is setting you up for failure, although it...
Do YOU See what I see??
Do You See What I See?
Relax I’m not still singing Christmas Carols
We design websites and collateral material to entice customers to use our services or buy our products. But, and this is a big but…. Do they see what you are presenting in the way it is meant to be seen?
Have you ever looked at a website or blog, mine included and asked the purpose or what are they selling. Worst yet do you...
