What the Beatles know…

This morning I was dreaming about the Beatles. Weird, right? But even stranger than that was the context. I was noticing all the ways that the Beatles taught us about marketing, so of course I had to write it down for all of you. What a great way to end the year OR to start [...]

Green or What?

Geez, can it really be so long since I last wrote? Amazing. This one I really had to share. Sometimes I lose sight of just how lucky I am, and it can be the smallest thing that reminds me. Here we live in a country of such abundance, and many of us are so spoiled, [...]

Different? Maybe not so much…

I just got back from a great conference hosted by Lisa Sasevich. It was interesting to see who was in the room, and what types of businesses were represented given her topic: Sales, which is quite a sweeping category. It was a great reminder for me that no matter what business you’re in, there is [...]

Take flight

I almost missed my plane today. Even as I type that it seems absurd. Up before my 4:30am alarm went off, then out of bed in minutes walking the dog in the dark still morning. The moon was full and shining brightly. Amazed that I felt SO awake, I gathered the last of my things [...]

Hanging with the Peas

I suppose its time I admit it… I’m getting old! This weekend I had the pleasure of attending a few concerts, which I haven’t done in like a year and they were really great. In addition, there were so many mini-marketing lessons that I had to share with you. Now you may already know this, [...]

Rockin’ it

Just had a weekend that was WAY off the map of my expectations. Went to a place in Utah I had never visited that was mondo beautiful in an awe inspiring way. After driving through a narrow gorge of a canyon that opened up to a small, brand new (seemingly) town, I arrived at a [...]

Yum! I’m addicted!

I’m having withdrawals. Withdrawals from… cheese steaks. It’s been a week since I’ve had one. I can still smell the sauteed onions, in that yummy grease, see the ooey gooey cheese squeezing out from the blanket of meat, all wrapped in the roll that smells like it was just made a moment ago…. See? I’m [...]

Whispering results

The other day I was gloriously being a slug. After all, I was on holiday and could do whatever I wanted. So, I was channel surfing and fell upon the Dog Whisperer show. It captivated me because it was all about a bad bad dog that was about to be given up on. (Kind of [...]

The road to greatness

It never occurred to me that I’d grow up and be attracted to guys with funny names, but that’s what has happened. No one has come close to the likes of Bucky, Wallace, and now our dearly departed Walter. The first two are long gone, but Walter’s passing recently has caused me some reflection. One [...]

Coming out (of the cave)

Isn’t it funny how the Universe shows us what we need to learn? Well, for me this week has been a great reminder. It’s been coming up a bunch lately. ‘Gotta quit hiding’… I’ve been called on it by my coach and a few others, and I’m seeing it in those I speak with too. [...]
