As we talked, we realize that we were both from the Midwest and have many things in common. In particular our laid back attitude and approach to life was similar and, In short, a friendship was born. This friendship has gone on to become an awesome business relationship as well.
Why is it that so many of the best business deals are forged on the golf course or at the ball game? It is because it is Read More...
Why wait for your manager to cook up contests, rewards and incentives? Keep your business fresh and exciting by creating your own fun and games.

This clip made me think, made me grateful for technology and maybe most importantly, made me laugh out loud!
I was driving around last week listening to a guy named Andy Andrews in my car, and he said something that hit me right between the eyes.
