Here’s What To Do When You Are Worried
Do you worry about the future, especially at times when nothing seems to be going your way? For some people, one of two things happen: the first possibility is that we spend so much time worrying about what might occur at some point in the future, that we are paralyzed from acting OR in contrast, […]
Is This Idea a New Opportunity or a Diversion?
We entrepreneurs by nature are ideas people, aren’t we? We are innovators who like to think big and are willing to take risks to put our plans into action. I’ve noticed that when we have a new idea for a product, service or program, there’s excitement that comes from the creation process; it consumes our […]
Happy New Year – I Have Gifts!
Welcome to 2022; amazing, right!? We’ve heard the old saying attributed to Benjamin Franklin, “Failing to Plan, is Planning to Fail.” In the past, if someone asked me for a favorite quote, that would be mine. However, I have a new favorite now: “Strategy without tactics is a daydream; tactics without strategy is a nightmare.” […]

This is the result of the Law of Polarity which states that anything can be separated into two opposite parts, with each part having its own essence. This law is essential for defining objects; for example, white and black, up and […]
Do You Love Your Clients?
“One of the biggest mistakes, probably the biggest mistake, people make in any business is that they fall in love with the wrong things. They fall in love with their product, service, or company. You should believe passionately in your product, service or company. But you should fall in love with your clients.” ~Jay Abraham, […]
Texting vs. Emailing: That Is The Question!
When you need to grab a customer’s attention (or prospective client/patient) and get them to take an action, believe it or not, texting has become the most effective channel for doing just that. Are you saying “NO, my prospects won’t want that!” Maybe it’s time to think again. Text messages, when done correctly with the […]
The Intentional Business Owner Values Masterminds
Many entrepreneurs these days are benefiting from belonging to a mastermind group, such as Napoleon Hill advocated in his timeless book, Think and Grow Rich.
