Whenever we have a barbecue, my loving wife goes into the kitchen and starts to prepare all the food hours in advance. You know, the small task of making appetizers, salads and dessert.

Don't we all want to feel important? I think this is the number one feeling that drives people to greatness. If you feel good about yourself and what you're doing, it cuts down on all sorts of mental blocks you might otherwise have. So, if you make someone else feel good about what they are doing...

All you have to do is pick up your Bible and read Proverbs. It talks about attaining wisdom, knowledge, and discipline. These are not new ideas!

I relate this to customer call backs. I think our minds can be our own worst enemy. Why would anyone want to talk to me? My mind will make up all kinds of excuses on why not to make the call, but is really just based on the fear of failure. When I was a kid playing baseball I remember putting on ...

A sculptor produces a master piece, not with one blow of his hammer, but by placing his chisel in the right place and then gently tapping it to make the perfect mark in the stone. Well positioned tasks can also create a master piece, one objective at a time. Treat each one as if it was the most i...

Henry Ford and Benjamin Franklin were both considered geniuses. What did they listen to the most? Their imagination! Only when you learn to listen to your imagination can you find the things no one else can see. I'm reading a book right now that talks about making mental maps of what your thought...
