Get out of your office or your cubicle, step away from your desk and invest time in building relationships and partnerships with people. This thing, the entire life and our careers and businesses within it is a people game first. Everything always starts with people so look for ways to build partnerships, synergies and proactively resolve any difficulties or challenges …
Don’t judge people
We have all done it at some point in life, we have judged someone else. In every instance, that was a wrong decision to make as none of us is perfect and none of us should have the audacity to look down on another human being. Furthermore, in most cases, we don’t have all the information and don’t know why …
Stop comparing yourself to others
Stop comparing yourself to others. Be who you truly are on focus on your major goals and get your priorities in order. People will talk, have opinions, ideas, but none of them should have control over your life and your future…it’s yours, own it!
Live your life today and every day

Don’t sweat the small stuff
99% of things don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Keeping this in mind and in perspective it is essential to spend your time, energy, effort and resources on things that do matter.

Expand your circle of trust

Life, health, family and a Ph.D.
I am finally breathing again! That is such a simple fact of life we take for granted until it becomes a challenge and an issue. Over the past week, I have dealt with respiratory issues (bronchitis) along with our three year old boy having a hairline fracture on his metatarsal bone (right foot) which is very challenging considering how much …
Who are you to your friends?
Who are you to your friends? What’s your role in a sense…are you their rock, the confidant, the shrink, a class clown, party animal, the traveler…what are you to your circle of friends? Which of your qualities do they associate with you and really value in you? Once you have that answer, think about how can that help you in …
Respect employees’ personal time
Respect your employees personal time. Please do your best not to “bother” your staff (except in rare, emergency situations of course) outside their work hours with work related questions and responsibility. If you find yourself consistently contacting people outside work hours chances are that there’s a big problem at play. You may have “bottlenecks” within your operations and you should …
