Recently saw a photo of a sign that — macabre as it was — no doubt brought some laughs. It said… “DANGER: DO NOT TOUCH — Not Only Will This Kill You, It Will Hurt The Entire Time You Are Dying.” Immediately, I went into sales and marketing mode and thought of how perfect a message it…
Years ago a little book authored by the late, Dr. Richard Carlson entitled, Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff provided some much-needed wisdom for those of us whose sense of peace of mind and happiness were continually disturbed by life’s little inconveniences. And, in that context, the phrase itself is certainly valid. Many…
A friend of mine tweeted that she was named after a police officer her Parents both admired for her courage and honor. “They wanted me to be strong like her” concluded the tweet. How cool is that? It brings to my mind a couple of questions: Were you named after someone with qualities your Parents…

We met via an introduction from Wharton Professor and noted bestselling author, Dr. Adam Grant. He told me she was someone I needed to connect with. And, when Adam says that, I listen! It was immediately obvious that Judy Robinett was a person with that special combination of huge business acumen and an even bigger…
We recently looked at why it can be so difficult to receive. When combining the many “scarcity messages” society provides us along with a lack of self-worth the results can be devastating. This to the point of consciously knowing we’ve earned the right to receive while subconsciously — and unconsciously — not allowing ourselves to…
Sure, we all know that to be successful it takes self-discipline. How could it be any different? By its very nature, success is determined by one’s willingness to do those things they don’t want to do, and that separates them from pretty much most of the pack. In other words, it takes doing those things…
In John David Mann’s and my book, The Go-Giver, Law #5 is “The Law of Receptivity.” Both of us are continually told by others that, while applying this law often created breakthroughs, it was also the most difficult Law to grasp. When thinking about it on even a surface level, it makes sense. The ability…
