We’ve made it through February. Time to check up on those New Year’s Resolutions you reluctantly made. Most people have long ago lost that piece of paper.
I go to a fitness club. I have for over 20 years. So I know this little graph to the right to be absolutely true.
I curse [...]

My “friend” Jim Rohn died on December 5. Of course, he had no idea who I was. But that didn’t make him any less my friend.
I was introduced to Jim Rohn by my upline in my first network marketing company. I will always consider my time with that company a success. Not because I [...]

My 5-year-old was balancing on one foot on the edge of the bed frame last night. She fell off and immediately said, “watch, I’ll do it better next time.” (And she did).
Being the ever-conscious parent that I am, I tried to seize the moment for a “life lesson.” I told her that she was right, [...]

We are responsible for teaching our kids personal development. At least until their teenage years. Not only do we have the obligation to teach our own kids, but also to be a positive influence on any children we have contact with. Let them know personal development is important.
Of course, as with most [...]

I love the Napolean Hill quote, “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Sounds easy. Yet one of the biggest reasons people can’t change their lives is simply that they don’t believe they can.
I got an email from an internet marketer the other day promoting a training for people [...]

I always tell people that if they aren’t happy with their life, then change it. And I believe that. I don’t think there’s much room for complaining. If you don’t like your job, do something else. If you’re not happy in your relationship, fix it or get out.

What exactly does mindfulness mean? To be mindful is to be present in the moment without passing judgment on the moment. Just being. Mindfulness has its roots in Zen Buddhism. So who better than Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to define mindfulness for us:
One of my favorite quotes is [...]

For most of us, multi-tasking is not at all an option. Entrepreneurs, it seems to me, are born multi-taskers. Not only do we accept it as a part of life, we demand it.
I’m incapable of sitting on the couch and watching tv. It may occupy my eyes, but it’s mindless. And [...]

I have had a rough week. I lost my cell phone. I never imagined how inconvenient that would be. And I’m double mad about it because I’m 99% sure it’s somewhere in my house.
I’ve been trying to feel grateful for the fact that my house is big enough that I [...]

I struggle somedays with what I know is right for my children and what they want to do. And I wonder why those two things aren’t congruent more often. Why can’t an oreo cookie be good for you and green beans be full of artificial ingredients and flavors?
I raise my children differently than what I [...]
