Music has an unbelievable power to inspire and motivate us. We have all had moments in our life when a song has picked us up off the ground and got us back into the game or at times has taken us from good to great in business, family or personal lives.
Music has the power to help us focus, relax, laugh & even allow us to cry. Music has the ability to change our emotional state and move us in ways that the spoken word cannot. Sometimes it is just the feeling it gives us or the words within the song get us thinking and challenge us to be better. Many of us have that one song that whenever the “chips are down” we pop it in our iPods and suddenly all is clearer, better, sweeter, happier, livelier, Read More...
At the Freedom Personal Development staff meeting last week, we brainstormed ideas to make our office green, or more environmentally friendly.
One of the suggestions (along with planting trees and turning off computer monitors at the end of the day) was adding a cute tagline to the bottom of our emails that basically reminds the recipient to think before they print.
The tag line we decide to use states “Please consider the environment before printing this email.” Straight to the point, polite and well, a little bland. Don’t get me wrong, I think this is a great tagline and reminder to save paper and I am happy to add it to my Read More...

It’s only a matter of time. Eventually it happens to every businessperson, striking catastrophically like lightning or creeping up imperceptibly until it swamps you. It may give you lots of warning, but then arrive with unforeseen ferocity. It’s the business disaster.
A business disaster is not fire, flood, or vandalism. It is economic disaster that burns your bank account, submerges your spreadsheets, or pillages your paycheck. Your job is cut, or your sales evaporate. Your key employees leave — or maybe even worse…they stay and REALLY screw things ups. No matter what the cause is, survival is YOUR problem. FEMA ain’t coming — ever. The only ones calling Read More...

It is a story about a man, David Ponder, who is down on his luck. He has lost his job due to a corporate takeover, is behind on his mortgage, and is fired from his Read More...
I am a strong proponent of both learning from past experiences and of setting effective goals for the future, I encourage people to be cautious of losing the power of the moment they are in.
Many of our students frequently ask “How can I become more effective?” or “How can I improve how I feel throughout the day?” or “How do I remove stress from the situations that I am facing?” I believe the answers to those questions and most challenges people face can be found by focusing on the present moment.
All mental fears, whether that is stress, fear of failure, anxiety, worry, doubt, regret or others, result from focusing on events that have already Read More...
