Wonderful thought from Zane Grey to kickstart your 2009 plan for Success and ride out this weird economy:
“To bear up under loss;
To fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief;
To be victor over anger;
To smile when tears are close;
To resist disease, evil men, and base instincts;
To hate hate and love Love;
To go on […]

A horse named 2008 has thrown a lot of riders - even experienced ones.
We’re all in this one together, no matter our circumstances, no matter how well we planned. When people suffer, it affects us all.
This isn’t just about finances and mortgages. We have become so focused on consumerism – and paying for it, that […]

As much as I want you to stand up and be counted, I also want you to have the energy and the confidence to keep moving forward. In that spirit, I created two f_ree ebooks to lift you up and give you some courage. One is for Managers and Business Owners who are trying to motivate their employees during this economic insanity. The second is for everyone trying to find their way out of this mess. They are simple PDF files, about a dozen pages long. Easy to download and easy to view over and over. You will find them here.

We’ve lost ourselves. This economic debacle is only a symptom of the real problem: A lack of Accountability in the halls of Congress, and in the major Boardrooms of America. As we say in Hawaii, The fish rots from the head down. We cannot fix this until the people we entrusted with our governing, our tax dollars, and our finances set greed aside and start being accountable for their actions. Shortsighted greed has been the norm for several decades. This does not belong to one party or one president, although the recent spate of leaders has certainly sped up our trip to hell.

I’m watching the results of this economic hiccup with great interest. I notice there are two types of people - those who are ‘waiting to see what happens’ and those who are making things happen.
Which one are you?
At this juncture, I doubt that one human on the planet can predict accurately what comes next. So […]

If there is anything we learned in 2001, it’s don’t quit when the chips are down. That year I’d had my house on the market so long that I finally sold it at a $50,000 loss. Three months later the market popped and, had I waited, I would have made money.
This is a strange time. […]

The controversial Reverend Ike once said, “The best thing you can do for the poor is not be one of them.”
I thought of that as I awoke to my radio playing Emerson Drive’s, “Moments.” Country music is exquisite in its ability to tell poignant stories with a few well chosen words. The song is […]

We’ve been here before. Maybe the players were different, the causes were different; but our race - the human race - has weathered storms like this. The US is a teenager. We are just a little over 200 years old. In the grand scheme of countries like China - checking in around 5,000 years old […]

The news tugs at the side of my consciousness. I watch it from time to time, but have decided not to let it rule my day. I think it was Mark Victor Hansen who once described the news as “The same bad stuff happening to different people every day.” I’m keeping up on things, but […]

It’s nuts out there. But you knew that. Just did a seminar yesterday for one of my favorite clients out here in Hawaii. Kamehameha Schools has over 100 year-history of providing education for the children of Hawaii. I love those people. Every time I get to train on their campus, I can feel the real […]
The way I see it, Cactus is the most resilient plant in the desert. If you find yourself stuck out on the desert and you can get past the thorns, its fruit will save your life. The same goes for us human critters. If we can get past the thorns of our own life, what we find in our core will save us and sustain us.
