Protect your time. Be selective where you invest your time, effort and energy.
Pursuing perfection
Pursuit of perfection is futile. Focus on incremental yet relentless growth, advancement and progress.
Stop hiding failures
First of all, we all have them and we will experience even more of them in years to come. Now, that we got that out of the way, it should be easier for each of us to internalize that truth and act accordingly. While I strongly believe that we should all focus on our strengths, I also believe that acknowledging …
Movement is not achievement
While almost certainly one has to move to achieve things, movement alone is not enough. Being busy is a “badge of honor” for so many of us in the United States (much less in other parts of the world), but is being busy actually contributing to your desired outcomes and achievements? When was the last time you have audited your …
Cross the finish line
We all have projects, goals and potential accomplishments which have dragged on for way too long. Some of them are 90% done, yet we have spent the last year, or two without any major progress from that point in time. Why is this the case? Are we no longer interested, motivated, inspired? Do we have other priorities? Whatever the reasons …
Massive action required
How do we get from A to B (no matter what those might represent) is always influenced, impacted and frequently determined by our own ACTION.

Find your comfort zone, then leave it. As you arrive at a new place pay attention to whether you are challenged to grow and learn as that is a good place to be a part of long-term. Learning new things and failing along the way is part of career growth and advancement so don’t doubt yourself for a second as …
Time doesn’t stop for anyone, don’t waste it
Time. The value of time. It is something you can’t buy or acquire. We all have 24 hours in a day, what matters is how we use those hours each day.
When is it time to make a career move
Lack of progress (both personal and professional) over a long period of time is indicative that it might be time for you to begin exploring other options. It is important to understand that at some point in time, it is no longer valuable to you to keep hoping that things will change, especially things over which you may not have …
People who don’t belong in meetings
Ahhh meetings…the place where so much time is wasted, never to be recovered again. While, in my experience, half of them are entirely useless, at times it is essential to bring the right people together to make decisions, take actions and move forward. When it comes to inviting people to join a meeting here are a few types you shouldn’t …
