Twenty years ago, I was mad.  Angry.  Trying to get ahead.  Pushing it.  Using all of my mental powers to build my business, enhance my career and working hard just to get a little bit ahead.  I was running a $5 million business at the time, and I didn’t have the luxury to stop and [...]

Have you seen the movie “Up In The Air?”  I went to see it recently and found the main character’s passion interesting.
In case you haven’t seen it, the movie is about a guy who travels the country, 300 days per year, and fires people for a living. He loves every aspect of traveling, especially the [...]

“Worry is a waste of energy”
The year was 1984 and Iwas a year out of high school.  Having decided that I was grown up enough to live in my own apartment, (even though I couldn’t really afford it), with a rusty old ugly green sedan for transportation, I muddled through.  Working a part time job and [...]

Stuck is not a fun place to be.
Yet for so many, stuck seems to be a state that is stubbornly present, even defeating in the lives of so many.
You know, the web site tweak that just has to be done before you promote, the sales script that needs to have every word perfect before you [...]

It was a room filled with about 300 networking engineers.  True geeks, that’s for sure.  I was there in the room to deliver a training to these high-level engineers about a subject they all loved – TCP/IP.
As the training went on, I discussed protocol, troubleshooting, hacking (oh excuse me, I meant to say “breaking down [...]

Over the years, I’ve been doing a lot more life coaching (which I absolutely LOVE) helping people over panic, anxiety, worry, fear and self-confidence challenges, along with a host of other emotional and mental challenges that keep you stuck and feeling alone.     
I used to think that getting things done was all “mind over matter”, but not now.  [...]

Every year about this time, I start thinking about what my theme word will be for next year.  Then, in December, I will take the last 2 weeks and reflect, review and clean up whatever I need to in order to keep thing rolling.
This year has definately been a year of high-impact change.  (Funny, when [...]

I want to talk with you today about change.  It’s an inevitable part of life, yet sometimes it seems so hard. Changing relationships, careers, community, environment, health, emotions, mental states can really wreak havoc on the best-laid plans.

Sometimes you just want to quit.

I have something very personal I want to share today.

This past year, has [...]

Today’s mantra:  stay on target.

Some days, you just wake up apathetic or discouraged, for what could be no reason at all.  Oh sure, there’s always some reason, but it’s probably not at all what you think.  I mean, there are so many blessings to count, so much goodness around but sometimes you just have [...]

Happiness.  Yeah, big deal.  I’ll be happy when I _________________ (fill in the blank)

Honestly, that’s what I used to think about happiness.  No time for that “happy crap” – got stuff to do!  And as for the people who made a living dealing with all of that emotional stuff?  Wow, what a waste of time!

Now [...]
