After several articles dealing with issues such as emotions and ego, and where ego was seen as the cause for many of life’s negative results or situations, we ended with the question: Is the human ego, in and of itself, a bad thing? Well, we didn’t exactly end it that way, since I answered, “not at…
In Part One we saw there are two main emotions which drive our decisions; the desire for pleasure, and the avoidance of pain. We ended by seeing that – depending upon the particular pleasure being sought or pain being avoided – the human ego can begin to play a rather large part. Have you ever…
In a previous post we looked at the role our emotions play in making most decisions of significance. As human beings, we are a strange creature – making very important decisions based on what we want at the moment rather than what we know is really best for us. Yes, before we rationalize (tell ourselves…
Years ago, a brilliant visionary said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” Those famous words, spoken by Mr. Zig Ziglar have been repeated so many times throughout the years they’ve almost become a battle cry for those who desire to add…

In some recent posts we’ve discuss various aspects of what I call “The Golden Rule of Networking”, which is, “All things being equal (or close enough to such), people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.” We also discussed that while this is absolutely key, there are…
In the recent article entitled, “All Things Being Equal…” we looked at what I believe is the foundational premise of Business Networking, and that is “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.” At its conclusion, however, I asked if “KL&T” is everything,…
