I really wasn’t planning to follow-up on yesterday’s post, which discussed how one begins their journey to success. However, this morning, while drinking my awesome Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, I reached into my library and pulled out one of my favorites, the 1909 classic, Peace * Power * Plenty by Orison Swett Marden, just to get my “inspiration fix.” 🙂 Born…
I’m fascinated by the concept of Success. I’ve studied it, lived it (as well as my share of failures – believe me!) written about it, and continue to study it. Of course, success can be defined in many different ways, depending upon the context. From Earl Nightingale’s “the progressive realization of a worthy ideal” to…
No, I won’t see Michael Moore’s newest movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story” but not for the reason one would think…that is, assuming one cared enough to think about the movies I see, which I doubt one does. Heck, I almost don’t, and I’m me. But, since this is a blog, and I’m the publisher, this beginning seems…
The First Law of Stratospheric Success in The Go-Giver is “The Law of Value.” While my awesome coauthor, John David Mann and I say it’s providing more in value than you take in payment, that simply means to make the customer experience so magnificent (remember Ernesto’s explanation of the three types of restaurants) that he or she will be…
A little before I was about to present at a recent event in Minneapolis I was hanging out with a few people who were manning (or, is that, “personing?”) the Resource Tables for the various speakers. One was a table displaying Roxanne Emmerich’s book, Thank G-d It’s Monday.* The book is about how to make…
Recently, I posted on twitter and on my Facebook page a quote from spiritual teacher, author and philosopher, Vernon Howard (1918-1992). I receive his quotes daily from the New Life Foundation, which he founded in 1979. It said: “To see oneself as either good or bad is to not yet know oneself, for real self-knowing is…
Okay, no question about it; I’m a fan of Libby Gill. I first met her when she called to interview me a year and a half ago soon after The Go-Giver was published. We had a great time during the interview and became fast friends. The former Hollywood entertainment executive (most notably, the “branding brain”…
Studying people; the how’s, what’s and why’s can be so fascinating at times. Monday, upon settling in my room at the Philadelphia Marriott, I asked the cleaning woman if she’d like to make $5 for ironing my shirt. I truly despise ironing and would rather pay someone to do it who would rather have the…
Friday’s event in Houston was a lot of fun. Now, after being home for a couple of days, it’s back out this afternoon for three cities in three days; first, Philly for a corporate gig tomorrow, then to Minneapolis for the Get Connected Event with Lisa Nichols, Janet Attwood and Roxanne Emmerich. This one is…
I was going to continue the series regarding scripting and memorizing presentations, however, between the first two articles and all the back-and-forth in the comments sections…it seems as though all points on both sides have been made. In my opinion, the best comment of all in explaining my thoughts (and which explained my thoughts better than I explained…
