Just Draw in the Dirt
You’ve heard me say many times that in order to get somewhere you have to set a goal…have a plan…makes me think about playing football when I was a kid. We’d grab all the neighborhood kids we could, a good game would be 5-5 or 6-6 teams. Most of the time the quarterback would get…

Think Again
Currently, I am reading the new book by Adam Grant titled, Think Again. He teaches it is imperative to look at things from the perspective of a scientist.

Go Earn It!
It is scary to think of all the opportunities I have missed by “hoping” someone would do something for me. It took me 39 years to realize that we are all trying to succeed in our own way and no one is responsible for my future except me. Sure there are those great mentors who…

Focus on the Team
We spend so much time at work reacting to the things that happen and lose sight of finding the true issues. It is like the doctor giving us Vitamin-M every time for the pain when we go in. I don’t care about the pain, fix the cause of the problem. Most of our issues in…
