Tact and respect should not be confused with compromise. They are not necessarily one and the same. Tact and respect are about how we speak to someone. Compromise is about making concessions, whether philosophically or in action. Of course, there is a time and place when compromise is absolutely appropriate. Other times, it is not.…
His breakout business phenomenon, The Fred Factor: How Passion in Your Work and Life Can Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary has touched the lives of millions of people since first published nearly ten years ago. Mark Sanborn, CSP, CPAE’s New York Times Bestselling book, based on his new postman named Fred, actually spurred a…
First published in 1937, during the Great Depression, it’s the book that a large number of hugely-successful people credit with helping them rise to that status. I hope that Napoleon Hill’s classic, Think And Grow Rich is in a very visible place in your personal library, highlighted, underlined, well-notated and dog-eared. I also hope that…

Recently, on Twitter, I saw the following quote from Tom Ziglar: “What you feed your mind determines your appetite.” Magnificent! In the same way that action precedes feeling, we can determine what we desire our mind to be fed…by feeding it the right thing. As I recall, his Dad, Zig called it, “priming the pump!”…
“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.” – Ayn Rand I love that quote. I wonder (though, I’m not sure) if it would be even more accurate to say, “…from living ‘in accordance with’ one’s values.” So, I asked friends on my Facebook page, “does that add to…
It’s always a joy to interview great leaders, exceptional business builders, and true thought leaders. And, my friend, Richard Robbins, one of North America’s foremost business coaches, qualifies as all three. He’s just written (with Dan Clements) a great new business parable, Deliver The Unexpected: And 6 Other New Truths For Business Success. While, of…
