Thank you to all those who contributed to last month’s contest. I really enjoyed reading and learning from the advice given. Time sure allows for great insight and I believe our 18-year-old selves would have been even more amazing to learn from such wisdom.
Here are our winners for the contest:

Last year I hosted the contest Hindsight is 20/20 and wanted to do similar contest this year, but with a twist.
Imagine you could go back in time and have a conversation with yourself at age 18. Turning 18 is an exciting age – you are finally a legally recognized adult, you can vote and the world is full of possibilities. Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your younger self?
Perhaps you would pass along a few words of wisdom. Maybe there was an opportunity you wish would have taken, or a mistake that you wish Read More...
How do you go above and beyond to care for your clients?
What can you do to have someone laughing and sincerely thanking you while they hand you money?
When do you have the opportunities to turn prospects and clients into dedicated and repeat buyers?
Here is a great example of a company that went above and beyond to correct a mistake they had made AND had me smiling and thanking them when I left their store.

You know when you have so much going on that you can barely make it to the store to buy groceries? I was having one of those weeks and decided to take advantage of a local grocery store’s (Read More...

You have heard the saying “Hindsight is 20/20.” Looking back in the past, we all see situations we would have handled differently, opportunities we should have taken and mistakes we wouldn’t have made.
We can’t go back and change the past and there is no benefit of regretting what already has happened. We CAN learn from the past, share the lessons learned and adjust our actions and decisions in the present to ensure a brighter future.
For this month’s blog contest, I am curious to know what advice you would have given yourself (or another in similar situation Read More...

How can you tell how effectively you’re studying?What I’m about to tell you can really turn your grades around if you can get your head around it. Don’t pass it off as something simple and perhaps not worth thinking about because I believe it’s one of the easiest ways to improve your grades if you bother to make it a part of how you study.
Before I tell you what it is I want to ask you a question.

Have you ever touched a hot iron and then pulled your hand away really quickly to avoid getting burned? Did you have to think to yourself, “Gee! – this iron is hot – I better not touch it any longer because it’ll probably cause a really bad burn on my hand.” The answer is obviously NO! You wouldn’t have had any time to think about what you should do and pulling your hand away is automatic.
It’s what we call a ‘reflex’ action. It doesn’t involve much, if any, thinking because by the time you think about it, it’s too Read More...

One of the most effective ways of learning naturally is by making mistakes. I’m sure you’ve heard people say that we learn by making mistakes.How many times have you also heard people say “don’t make mistakes”? Lots of times I bet.
In tennis, and any sport, mistakes and correcting them, is called practice. You know immediately whether you’ve made a mistake in tennis when the ball goes out of court, and you try to correct that mistake the next time. This is called ‘learning how to play tennis’.
In other words, learning is simply a Read More...
