Often people ask me what is the “key” to becoming FREE? What one thing is the source of freedom at work, in relationships, financially, etc?
I have a critical question for you. What was the source of your greatest success? Think back to the time of you greatest achievement. Think about the area of your life that has continually been a source of strength and joy. What is the source of those magical moments?
Many great thinkers have said that everything in our life is created twice – once in thought and then once in reality. I will suggest that the original source of everything great in your life is a dream that you had in the Read More...
If you are like most people, you are hearing the buzz about the Law of Attraction (LOA). And if you are like most people, you get the gist of it… kind of. Let’s get clear right away about what the LOA is and what it is not. The LOA states that your focus determines your reality. The focus of your thoughts, feelings, and actions cumulatively determines your reality.
The LOA is not some incomprehensible force that mysteriously manifests your every thought into certain reality. This is very important to understand for several reasons.

Why should I improve my listening skills?
It’s a great question. For the simple reason that a person’s listening skills are a central component to most of the activities people care about. Your ability to understand what others are trying to tell you, to grasp details about projects, to learn information about a customer’s needs, or to understand what is going on in your family’s life all depend on your ability to effectively listen.

One of the most important questions people ask when they are focused on improving their quantity and quality of business is: “What is my competitive advantage? What makes me unique, memorable, special… what truly sets me apart from the rest?”
While there are no definitively right answers to that question, most people come to some conclusion that customer service is a critical component of your competitive advantage. For most businesses, the service they offer can vary from exceptional to not so hot, depending upon circumstances.
Why is that? Why does the same company, and even the same people within that company provide world class service some of the time, and Read More...
Many people think of their time management skills in relationship to their time organization device. Yes… your calendar, Outlook, or PDA can be an extremely valuable tool in helping you to organize your time, but those things are not your time, nor do they have any power to determine where you use your time.
Time Management is a mindset. And the way you look at and value the hours and minutes of each day. Today I have several simple ideas that can revolutionize your experience of time freedom.
When you hold onto the mindset that there is a shortage of time, that it is scarce… that is what it becomes. When you consciously choose to look at your time in a state of abundance, Read More...

One of the most challenging situations people face when planning their day is how to stick to their schedule when they are constantly being interrupted. Just when your activities are organized, someone else’s emergency seems to get in the way. A client has a crisis, co-workers are in a jam, your boss is breathing down your neck, a friend calls, or any of the dozens of other interruptions you face on any given day.
So what can you do to keep your day on track?
Schedule time for interruptions.
