Discovering THE Thing
In the book Good to Great by Jim Collins, he talks about the concept of the “flywheel.” In that chapter, he speaks about how great companies start by pushing a heavy flywheel. Companies start by struggling to push this flywheel, or the core idea of their business. Then, as they push more and more, it…
Read MoreWhat Is the Most Important Thing In Your Life?
If I ask you the question, “What is the most important thing in your life?” what would you answer? My goal is to get you to reevaluate everything from your role in your business to your personal relationships and everything in between. While I started off with a quote from a book I had read,…
Read MoreUnderstanding Your Primary Question
The dichotomy of being happy today and yet wanting to do better is something that has fascinated me for years.

Read MoreIt Is What It Is
“It is what it is.” That’s one of my favorite sayings. It’s my way of reminding myself I cannot change the inevitable. I’ve been reading a book entitled How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. One of the chapters in that book states the same thing. There are things we must just…
