Say out loud, “I am loved” and, “I am lovable” and notice how they feel. If these two statements do not feel 100% true, you have some important work to do in the personal growth gym. If you have head trash about being loved then it is harder for others to contribute to you. If […]
Being Grateful For The Things We Take For Granted

Today I will be getting my head shaved for St Baldrick’s, a non-profit organization that raises money for childhood cancer research. Part of the reason I do this every year is to remind myself to be grateful for what I already have. Both of my daughters are totally healthy and for that I am so […]
The Illusion of Time Management
January 13, 2015 by Leave a Comment
People often talk about time management but we really cannot manage time. You cannot bank the time you saved today and have 24 hours and 45 minutes tomorrow. You cannot make the clock speed up or slow down. However, there are other things that we can manage. Priority Management: Are you spending your time on […]

John F. Kennedy famously said, “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” So often people fall into the trap of thinking that someone owes them something – gratitude, respect, appreciation, support, recognition, opportunity – or maybe that life or God owes them […]
Everybody Is Better Off

In human interactions (which includes sales) either everybody wins or it does not work. Either everybody is better off or nobody is better off. Sure it might seem like there are situations where some people win and others lose. But since at our deepest levels we are wired to contribute and make a difference, the […]
OK for others to contribute to me

Say out loud, “It is okay for others to contribute to me.” Then rate how true that feels. For most people, this does not feel very true. Some people can hardly even say the words. We’ve got head trash about what it means to ask for help and about allowing others to contribute to us. We […]
It Is Your Fault Daddy

The distinction responsible for vs responsible to is so important to understand if you ever do anything like interact with other people, have a significant other, have kids, or have a network marketing business. It is impossible to be responsible for another person. No matter how much we want to, we cannot control their thoughts, […]
A Penny’s Worth Of Progress
August 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
A Penny’s Worth Of Progress I spoke at a retreat a few weeks ago. One of my points of emphasis was celebrating progress and celebrating what we did get done rather than belittling ourselves for what we did not get done. Afterwards, I received an email from Lisa S who came up with a simply […]
Gratitude!

I’m tired (fished until 2:00-ish am the last two nights and then got up at 4:30 for my conference call). It hurts to type because my finger tips are cut up and throbbing from fishing. For the first time since I started writing these, I don’t know what to say. When we don’t know what to do – […]
