Some “Twitter tweets” (still can’t get a handle on those terms) 🙂 have been…er, tweeted of late asking, “are you a go-getter or a go-giver?” The implication is that, while being a go-giver is a positive thing, being a go-getter is not. So, I’d like to clarify something, if I may. My awesome coauthor, John…
Now, just to set the record straight, I don’t know the meaning of the word “fear.” However, I’m extremely well-acquainted with the words “terrified”, “frightened” and “brk brk brk brk brkkkkk” (sound that chickens make). 🙂 Such was the case this morning as I went in for a very simple procedure to remove a growth just…
In Part One we learned from a couple of true business geniuses that – in a business venture – speed of action and being different are two keys to success. I then suggested that in interpersonal situations (though, this would certainly also hold true for business), where the person might be difficult to persuade, we add…
Ray Kroc, of McDonald’s fame, is credited with saying, “Be first, be fast, be different.” Al Ries and Jack Trout from the original classic marketing book, Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind taught that the number one way to own a market was to be the first one in that market. And, those are both certainly…
Met some new friends last Sunday at Dunkin’ Donuts. Both are in sales and met each other through their local BNI (Business Network International) organization. Both are obviously true Go-Givers and have built their businesses through a focus on providing value without concern for, or attachment to, reciprocity. Margie does her best to help her…
My friend, prosperity expert, Randy Gage emailed me to ask if I believed in “Intuition” or did I think that believing in such was irrational? Because intuition is a topic I’ve never actually studied in detail, I hesitated to respond too quickly or reflexively without giving it at least enough thought to respond intelligently (or,…
This article is actually from the “oldies” shelf, from about five or six years ago. But, I came across it while reviewing some archived articles and wanted to share it with you. I have a feeling the “star” of this article is destined to accomplish great things. 🙂 —– We all seem to realize that…
Well, it’s coming down to the wire; the Obama Administration is perhaps just weeks away from enacting legislation that will put our loved ones’ health in the hands of a colossal government bureaucracy comprised of nameless/faceless administrators, drive up job-killing taxes through massive spending, create huge waiting lists for life-saving procedures, cause a shortage of doctors, significantly…
In Part One we discussed a productive mindset for advancing within the company for which you’re working; be “larger than your present place.” This means adding so much value “above and beyond” what’s expected that you simply no longer fit your position, are eventually noticed for such, and promoted. Of the many excellent responses to the…
I’m often asked what one should do when in a job position they don’t enjoy. Some say they would like to be promoted within the company to a position that would be more fulfilling and/or would pay better. Others would simply like to find a job at another company. In both cases, however, they feel stuck…
