Characteristics of Success
Could you find a mentor to help you along the way?
Every mentor I’ve ever had has validated that I possessed three characteristics for success.
Would you pass their test?
1) Do you have a burning desire to achieve your goal?
2) Are you open to learning and ready to embrace the wisdom and guidance from a diverse range of voices?
3) Are you willing to undertake all actions to achieve your success?

What's Your Life Vision?
Do you have an image of what you would like your life to be - except when life gets in the way?
There's no doubt that daily life events have a funny way of distracting us from reaching goals. It's just too easy to put them on the back burner. That's why you need to become the keeper of your vision.
Every day thousands of opportunities will arrive on your path and detour you from what you want. That's why it...

Stoic Philosophy Rules That Apply Today
In 300 BC, political life was driving people crazy. To calm the masses, several schools of philosophy popped up. Stoicism was one of them. Many of its teachings resonate today.
1) The mind is your power. It is not an outside event.
2) Time is your most precious resource. There is no time for regrets.
3) Be present. Stop and spend time with yourself.
4) Be grateful for what you have by imagin...

Every Day is a Do-Over Day
Is it me, or does living life these days make you feel like Bill Murray in the movie, Groundhog Day?
When it comes to working toward goals, that can be a tremendous asset. It's also something that will break you free when things don't feel like they are going your way.
Everybody has ups and downs. Up days are lots of fun. Down days make you want to crawl under a rock. But like the movie, with the right m...

Transformational Stages
Is there something you would like to transform about your life? These days you are not alone.
Stop smoking, lose weight, get a better job - or another job?
Transformation always follows the same predictable stages:
Stage 1: Pre-contemplation. This stage appears when an idea pops into your head for the first time.
Stage 2: Contemplation. This middle ground is where most folks get stuck. It can go on for a lif...

Three Step Productivity
Not a day goes by when somebody doesn't ask me how to manage their time and be more productive. I wanted to share my simple, non-AI approach to getting things done.
It's crucial to understand that productivity systems are not one-size-fits-all. They should be tailored to your unique needs and goals, which can evolve with your changing roles and responsibilities in life.
I'm now living in the wisdom role and ...

Reinvent Yourself With No Plan
In the last couple of years, I made a decision that changed everything about my life.
And no, when I began personal Operation Reinvention, I didn't have much of a plan. I wouldn't say I was winging it, but sometimes you have no idea what kind of plan you need. What I did have was a mindset.
I wondered -

Non-Optional Time Suckers
It happens to all of us.
We're going about our day, hot on the trail of checking off items on our never-ending To-Do list. Then, we discovered that we didn't get everything done before time ran out.
When my son was entering the workforce, we would often find time to catch up on weekends. He was trying to navigate the business world while balancing his life. He had a fast-paced job and had become a product...

How to Set Expectations and Get Results
I can’t remember a time in my life when expectations didn’t significantly impact every minute and hour of every day of my life. No matter who you are, you have a million expectations inside your mind — and don’t get me started about expectations that others have for you.
Years ago, I developed an awareness of how expectations control our lives and settled on an engineering model to guide me ...

Two Words That Will Change Your Life: Slow Down
While recovering from Total Hip Replacement, I engaged with a client on a Zoom call. He shared one of his favorite sayings, “Slow is fast, fast is slow,” which made me angry.
Why?
First Responders practice “Slow is fast, fast is slow” all the time, so you never see them running to the scene. Pacing themselves is simply safer, more effective, and faster.

Total Control: Pre-Planned Responses
Imagine if you could always know what to say in any situation.
Having the right thing to say is possible. The trick is to think about all the possible ways a conversation may go and create a Pre-Planned Response.
The secret is to work it from every angle until you have covered everything possible. Leave no stone unturned.
So, what happens when the conversation arrives?

Mapping Your Success
Have you ever heard people preach, "Get out of your comfort zone, try new things, always stretch!"
While true, it's only part of the story.
Look at anybody who has achieved goals and maintained success over a period, and you'll find:
1) Motivation. Successful people do whatever they can to stay motivated. It's not an occasional thing. It's an always thing.

Productivity Efficiency
I think it’s time we stop seeking more productivity. It’s too much work! I prefer being more efficient and effective.
Here are a couple of ideas that will help:
1) Say “No” to meetings if possible. If you must, keep them short and sweet.
2) Delay paying attention to incoming communication. It’s nothing more than somebody else’s to-do list. Do your stuff first.
3) Daily interruptions will never go away. You ...

Whatever you desire in your life, everything starts as a thought. It will demand your attention.
You have three options:

You Don’t Need Plan B

Luck? That’s it. They get lucky!

There is Always a Way
When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?
I used to be that way. Something changed.
I learned long ago that getting blocked would be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations - or find a better way. It came down to this:
1) Blocks have nothing to do with who I am. They could be self-inflicted or caused by...

Living Your Default Mode
Would you like to make life easier for yourself and everybody around you?
It’s time to establish a “Personal Default Mode.”
Success in all areas of life smooths out when you know what to expect of yourself. It gets better when others know what to expect of you.
A “Personal Default Mode” is a consistent way of acting in different areas of your life. For example:
