  • Are We Leading With Our ‘Health’ Foot Forward?

    Health’s been on my mind. That usually happens when you’ve been ill for a couple times in a row. Nothing serious – a couple colds – the dreaded lurgi. When your resistance is low, and you keep getting the ‘catch of the day’ – you need to start paying attention. In business we find many…

  • If the Unions Protect the Rights of Employees – Who Protects the Rights of the Employer?

    Have you ever had a situation get completely out of hand only to have it come and bite you in your butt and causing you to swear that “you shoulda do what you were supposed to do a long time ago?” Let me get even clearer still. You have an employee on staff that you…

  • The Greatest Lesson I Learned From the Union: Comply and then Complain

    I first encountered “the Union” back when I worked at WASA. Electricity would go and then you’d hear someone say “Well if current doh come back in an hour, the union say that we should be sent home.” At which point I began a fervent prayer that the power outage would go beyond an hour!…

  • How Do You Get to and Maintain the Number one Position?

    Striving to be number one is an admirable goal. And who wants to be number two? I believe it’s the secret desire of all of us in business to be in the number one position in our market, or field. I think that whether we actually hold the spot or not, many of us have…

  • Despite Your Demons – Use Your Gifts!

    None of us are without demons. I am not talking about ghosts, goblins or the minions of Satan and I am not arguing whether these are real or not. I am talking simply about the demons of our minds. In her book ‘Feeding Your Demons’, Tsultrim Allione defines demons this way: “Our demons are our…

  • Finding True North when your Business is heading south!

    Sailors have always faced great risks when traveling at sea. Sudden storms could break their masts and shred their sails. Giant waves could sink their ships or wash men overboard. Hidden reefs could tear open their hulls. And even if they are lucky enough to avoid these, sailors could still become hopelessly lost and wander…

  • Do You Know Your True Self Worth?

    “We are not being paid enough!” “My take home pay doesn’t take me home!” “If sales could increase – that would be great for business!” Regardless of whether you work for someone or own a business – making more money is a thought that is in everyone’s brain. The question is always: “How can I…

  • Quit Wishing for “the Good Ole Days”. They’re Gone!

    I know this is a little harsh for some. But I want to jolt us from our business sleep and awaken to what’s at stake. Many business owners are going through the motions, hoping deep down inside, that things would go back to the times when they could: Go home at a decent hour Employ…
