Movie Star

Have you ever watched a movie and marveled at how it’s woven together? The actors and the dialogue fit so well. All the locations, the lighting, even the editing seem so natural, so well done. I saw such a film the other day; it was just so darn believable it was sort of amazing. So [...]

Say Yes!

Humans seem to resist change. Few of us say, ‘YES, I love change!’ and embrace it wholeheartedly (myself among that group). Yet, you may have noticed that the world is constantly changing in many ways. Changing the way we do business, changing what we call business, changing the arena in which business occurs. Those young [...]

WHY PLAY ALONE?

For many of us that have solo practices, or who may be leading a small business, there can be times when it is very difficult to be ‘on your own’. If you’re like most, you started this New Year with all sorts of great goals only to be derailed by the every day demands of [...]

ARE YOU PREPARED?

It is my observation that we seem to live in a culture that is very clear about what doesn’t work. Somehow we’ve been programmed to notice rather quickly what’s missing. Perhaps it happens when we’re young and attention is garnered more often when we do something ‘wrong’ or inappropriate. Rarely are we caught doing ‘right’. [...]

Models are for breaking

Lately I’ve been speaking to a number of people who are a bit, well, trapped by their own thoughts and preconceived notions. It’s alarming how so many fall into this trap, and why I’m bringing it to you today. The interesting thing about this phenomena, is that most of us are aware that we practice [...]

March on soldiers!

It seems I’m on a mission. As with most missions, I’m quite passionate about my point of view. Seriously, there’s lots of evidence to support it’s truth. It’s been said that by the 6th grade our imagination is taught out of us. That’s right, we’re actually taught to be less creative than we are naturally, [...]

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 [...]

A graduated perspective

This past week I attended a high school graduation. Gee, its been a long time since I’d done that! I graduated many moons ago, so this was a great opportunity to reflect on all that has happened in the last few decades. What I realized is that its very similar to how we think about [...]

Friends Know

Gosh, I’ve been so busy, I haven’t taken the time to post an entry. This past week, a dear friend was visiting. We had such a good time catching up, laughing like you only can with old friends, and contemplating the future. We were able to bounce some business ideas around, and we gave each [...]

Do a Happy Dance

Today, I intended to share with you a great photo of the citizens of Crested Butte enjoying Mardi Gras. (only the photo didn’t load in correctly.) It had me thinking all week about celebrating and our unique styles. Each society, and we have our own here, has their own reasons to celebrate and ways to [...]
