What Motivates You?
I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Growing up my mom made bread. I loved the bread. I didn’t like the crust. I saw my friends bring their sandwiches to school crust-less. Not in my home. You HAD to eat the crust. So I devised a method of eating the crust first…all the way around…

When Momentum Wanes…
Enthusiasm will take you only so far… Will power evaporates quickly… Enter Physics 101: Newton’s First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion at a constant velocity will remain in motion in a straight line unless acted…

Are You Ready to Up Your Game?
Panos Mourdoukoutas, business and investment strategist and a regular contributor to Forbes Magazine, was addressing the subject of retirement (although I think that this piece of advice is not applicable to only retirees) and the one precious asset that was missing from one’s investment portfolio. The asset he was referring to was a non-financial asset…that…

A Face to Face Visit With Confidence
Many years ago, I visited my optometrist to have my glasses adjusted. The woman who usually helped me was attending to another customer. Reluctantly I shared my reason for being there with an obviously new employee. The way she took my spectacles from me, made me uneasy but I chalked that up to me not…

When You Feel As if There’s Nothing Left…There’s More

Which business owner doesn’t have a loyal employee? “Do you see so and so” they say…”he has been with me since before Christ. I can depend on him no matter what.” This person enjoys certain perks as a result of his devotion. The Boss enjoys having him around and he seems to enjoy his job.…

Most costly decisions begin with
an inaccurate understanding of the situation.
