For whatever reason it is, human beings have a strange, often counter-productive relationship with money. Of course, the lack of it can be debilitating to one trying to survive, support a family, thrive and donate to the less fortunate. Thus, it would seem to make sense that the seeking of money through providing value to…
My good friend, successful entrepreneur Teri Nickinello, sent me a link to the following video she found on YouTube. It was – for lack of a better description – a caricature-istic (yes, I’ve been known to invent words) look at how not only demanding customers and clients can be, but how their expectations of the relationship between…
(If you’re just joining this series, feel free to read the previous installments.) Check Your Health Care Premises (Part 2) In the previous article, after establishing that our current healthcare system is indeed broken, I asked that we check our premises and, instead of knee-jerkingly blaming the Free-Enterprise System for our healthcare woes and asking for…
Received a voicemail from a gentleman saying the the television talkshow host (very well-known) whose show he produces wanted to interview me for a special program he was doing regarding increasing sales in today’s economy. Because I do a lot of media interviews both for The Go-Giver and Endless Referrals and have been writing and guesting on this…
After reading the post that shared some of Jack Welch’s leadership tips from his book, WINNING, Heather from Southern California asked if one could develop leaders without having first been a leader.

(If you’re just joining this series, feel free to read the previous installments.) Check Your Health Care Premises (Part 1) The admonition to “check one’s premises” is at the heart (and, indeed within the very title) of this ongoing series regarding Capitalism versus Socialism. And, perhaps, nowhere is that more important than when it…
If you’ve been following my latest tweets (is it just me or does that still sound kind of strange?) 🙂 you know I’m in the process of reading WINNING by Jack & Suzy Welch and totally loving it. I’ve read one previous book about the former 20-year G.E. Chair & CEO but this is my…
(If you’re just joining this series, feel free to read the previous installments.) Welfare – Has it Helped the Poor? (Part 4) Thus far, we’ve looked at how the government’s “War On Poverty,” carried out through a terribly inefficient, ineffective and counter-productive (we won’t even talk about Unconstitutional since, unfortunately, that seems to be a…
As I’m writing this*, I’m looking at Maddy the dog, the Labrador retriever of Michele, one of my part-time team members. Maddy is sitting just to the left of me, giving me “that look” (i.e., “feed me, Uncle Bob”). Interesting thing about Maddy; she looks at everyone as though they are the most important person…
We’ve all heard the expression, “The more things change the more they stay the same.” How true this is, especially in terms of cultivating new business. As “Social Media” (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) becomes utilized by more and more people, the potential for its mis-use in terms of productive business-building becomes greater and greater.
