Are You in the Wrong Room?
If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room… The one thing that I have been able to do over the last 20 years is to learn how to surround myself with people truly smarter than I am. I know a lot of people talk about this, and a lot of…
Read MoreDiscovering 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 MoreUnderstanding Your Primary Question
The dichotomy of being happy today and yet wanting to do better is something that has fascinated me for years.

I’m going to keep hammering the idea that you MUST create the life you want. You must decide and then create. If you just let it happen, then you’ll get a “just happened to me” life. But, if you go out and create one, you’ll have the life of your dreams. You can try to…
