Recently, a very hokey movie was on television and I got hooked on it, watching it all the way through. Not only was the storyline hokey, the acting was so bad…that I could tell it was bad. Usually, I cannot; this time I could. However, there was one line that made it all worthwhile. The…
Have you ever heard someone tell you that your product (or service, opportunity, idea, etc) “won’t work here” (or, in this business, this company, this region of the country, etc.)?

Sure, it occurred pre-Internet but the now robust amount of easily accessible information has made this a profound issue. Impacted most are movie producers, musical artists, authors, bloggers and many more. Now, wouldn’t it be best to just…
In the original The Twilight Zone television series, there was an episode that periodically comes to mind and haunts me to this day. (It really doesn’t haunt me; it’s just fun to think about)…(okay, it haunts me a little)…(HELLLLLP!). It had to do with a small-town resident apparently possessing the meaning of life. Whenever he’d…
In a recent post we discussed how paying attention to detail and doing those little things right (especially those your competitors don’t do) can set you apart from the crowd and make the big difference in your business.

As he worked has way up through the ranks of PepsiCo, David Novak had a realization: you can’t lead a great organization of any size without getting your people aligned, enthusiastic, and focused relentlessly on the mission.
