3 Levels of Achievement
"The greatest distance in the world is the distance between 'I know' and 'I do.'" This is one of my favorite quotes because it illustrates the idea of "simple and easy." So many things are simple. They are just not easy. In other words, we know what to do. We just...
Consider This Your Nudge
I have been intentional the past week or so about "putting good in my brain." This has included curating the books and podcasts I listen to, and the amount of time I have spent on social media. I have just been a bit more selective. When I do this, I find that I am...
Fight My Natural Tendencies
I purchased bi-focal sunglasses the other day. I needed something to wear as I was mowing. I can see long distances really well, but I am struggling to see my phone. It's maddening at times, but I am by no means the first person to deal with this. (Be careful...
The Media And The Troll
Most of us know a troll. I don't mean to be a name-caller, but you know the type of person I mean. As a matter of fact, you probably thought of a specific person when you read the first sentence. "Oh...I know a troll," you thought! This is the person who always...

The Good Old Boys Club
In a world that has increasingly more tools and opportunities, blaming others is the crutch of the lazy. I have heard about "the good old boys club" most of my life. And I know there was a time when there was such a club...and it had influence. But the more I am...
CEO Of Your Life
One of my least favorite words today is "busy." There are worse words, for sure. But there are few words that are more over-used by nearly everyone on the planet. Everyone says they are "busy." Even people who never seem busy to me, say they are busy. It's...
Exceptional Action
Several years ago I wrote, "If you want to be exceptional, you need to be unreasonable." The point of the blog was simple. The people that are thought leaders (in any space) often do things that most of us are unwilling to do. They take action that most of us...
Enjoy The Sunshine
This spring has been a bit of a beat down for me in Ohio. It seems that it's been cold for many months with little break...and when it's not been cold it's been raining. Sorry. I know I am against complaining. I have just been ready for some sunshine. That's why I...
