Have you ever heard of having ‘baseball memory’ (or some say football memory?). I never had until the other day, so I thought I’d share, as starting a new year is a great time for such recall… or lack thereof. You see, it’s not about succeeding at every play. In football you can miss 7 [...]
Sometimes when I speak with small business owners, they tell me that they’re tired. Tired of working so much, tired of trying so hard, tired of waiting for the business to ‘kick in’. Frequently, they also mention that they just don’t have any enthusiasm anymore. I’m not always sure if they mean for the business [...]
Do you have any habits that get in the way of growing your business? Do you seem to struggle with any self-sabotaging behavior, that runs like a continuous tape through your head? Maybe that tape is so ingrained you don’t have to try to hard to recall it, or perhaps even now you now have [...]

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 [...]

As we are now over 40 days into a New Year, my thoughts go to those who have already lost sight of, or have been knocked off track from your intentions set for the year. Of course, this conversation extends beyond, yet includes marketing actions. There are many elements that contribute to our ability to [...]

Just as I was getting ready to write this article, I decided to open some mail. Interesting, because in it was an article about doing an ‘Energy Audit’. It pertained to our homes, but got me thinking about our businesses. After all, doing an energy audit isn’t something most of us do on a regular [...]
