On Taking Things Personally and Re-Programming, Part Two

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgNovember 8, 20108 Comments

Part One featured an exchange with Julie, much of which centered on taking things personally. After suggesting she read Don Miguel Ruiz’ classic, The Four Agreements in which he magnificently covered that topic, she not only read it and learned a lot, but then took action and wrote some meaningful paragraphs on an index card…

On Taking Things Personally and Re-Programming, Part One

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgNovember 2, 20105 Comments

The following is excerpted with permission from an exchange with Julie, a subscriber from Nebraska. A while back she asked for my opinion regarding a situation she was experiencing and I encouraged her to read one of my favorite books, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. While the entire Book is terrific, the chapters…

Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts, Spilled Coffee And Re-Frames

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgOctober 25, 201024 Comments

Monday morning, just after 8am. Sitting at my desk, I was enjoying a delicious cup of – what else? – Dunkin’ Donuts coffee; relaxing while reading some blog posts, articles, political thought, and feeling appreciative and grateful. Then,  suddenly, while reading one commentary, I was so offended that my mood shifted. About five seconds later…

Success Because Of – Or In Spite Of? – Bad Language

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgOctober 15, 201027 Comments

Several years ago, my friend, the great Cajun humorist {sort of like a stand-up comedian with a message}, Dave Petitjean sent an email to his contemporaries asking for comments he could use to teach some of his young protégés the importance of keeping their humor “squeaky clean.” Despite not being a humorist, I was included…

Uncomplimentary Words? Just What *Is* necessary to share?

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgOctober 12, 20106 Comments

As we’ve previously discussed, Gossip may be defined as “any type of harmful or hurtful communication that is not absolutely necessary to share.” This brings up the question, “What is necessary to share?” And, “Is there a ‘test’ of sorts we can give ourselves in order to be sure that divulging this information is the…

Self-Respect For The Value Of One’s Time

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgOctober 11, 201013 Comments

Yesterday on Twitter, my great friend, Terry Bean, author of, The Universal Guide To Business Networking posted: “If you don’t respect the value of your time it’s really hard to get anyone else to do the same.” Not only was this retweeted dozens of times but, when I posted it on my Facebook Wall, it…

Just A Small Mistake. But, Still…

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgOctober 8, 20102 Comments

In the previous post, I related a series of unintentional but systemic mistakes from hotels in which I stayed on a recent trip. While the customer service was excellent, and none of the mistakes were anything more than small inconveniences, it was a good reminder to me that it’s those little things we do (or…

Yes, The Little Things Really Do Matter

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgOctober 4, 201012 Comments

Back from a trip that included seven different hotel rooms, I’m thinking about the fact that, while the properties I stayed at were very nice, there were some systemic flaws from which we can all learn.The awareness could help our own businesses and our abilities to prosper it what are believed to be difficult economic…

A Chilling Look At *Not* Understanding Love Languages

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgSeptember 16, 20104 Comments

Yesterday’s post elicited quite a few comments, both from cat lovers and lovers of The Five Love Languages, the bestselling book by Dr. Gary Chapman. One sent to me privately by my friend, Susan Somerset Webb, was – in my opinion – particularly gripping: “In the late 70’s I left Chicago and a long term…

Gratitude And Love Languages from Liberty (Err, yes…again, the Cat)

Blog, GeneralBy Bob BurgSeptember 15, 201014 Comments

Recently, I posted the following on Facebook: “My stray cat, Liberty, left a mouse’s head on the patio for me this morning. Not a dead mouse, the head of a dead mouse! I think that cat has been watching too many movies lately. Hmm, what is she trying to tell me?” 🙂 As a note,…
