It is easy to see a successful person and believe that they have a gift that we cannot possess. What you don’t see are the years of toil and hard work and sacrifices and failures they have had to endure. You only see the successful tip of the iceberg. The end result. Not all the [...]
You know something. We all know something. Some of what we know, others do not know. So, the real question is, what do you know that others want to know? And how much effort are you willing to go to in order to 1) find out what they want to know, and 2) teach them [...]
If you are going to do something, then do it to the best of your ability. If you are going to start a business, give your everything. Go big. Think big. Why not? You are going to be doing it anyway, so why not do it better and/or bigger?
Enjoy it. Bathe in it. Smother [...]
Do people where you work understand you? If not then it may be a good idea to look for a work place which does.
Why waste your time with a company that does not know who you are, what makes you tick, or does not understand your aspirations or goals. If you are in this [...]
Is your job good enough for you?

You finally have that plan. You have thought about it and are now getting ready to implement it. Then you find out that it won’t be as easy as you thought. In fact, it will be a lot of time-consuming hard work. So you stop. You think about it. A lot. But it never gets [...]
There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone – many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long.
… Don’t be one of them.
(Quote is by Richard Nelson Bolles)
If you ever get offered the small, seemingly insignificant, job then take it. Why? Cause you never know where it may lead. Small job now, big opportunities later.
