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.

Pay attention while you are out and about getting ready for the Holidays. Humans make for interesting entertainment.
I am at the Post office. Lines are long as Arizona residents struggle with the notion of 75º afternoons and Christmas only two weeks away. Here is a mother with twins, trying to juggle packages and frisky, beautiful […]

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” Helen Keller
Probably the worst thing we can do right now is dabble in regret and despair. It’s extremely easy to wallow right now. People who were sneering a few months ago at others who had financial issues are now […]

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 […]

Nike’s trademark is “Just do it!™” and Larry the cable guy’s is “Git’er done! ™” Both are wildly successful enterprises. This call to arms tells you to get up off your remote-control jumpseat and make things happen. It works. Amadeus Schnicklefitz – remember him? Of course you don’t – his catchphrase was “Well, just do […]

Actually, I could title this, “The Real Secret to Life UN-happiness just as easily. In tracking my progress over the decades, it’s easy to see the ups and downs. Much like standing on a mountain and looking back over the path you’ve walked to get there. The downs are just as pronounced as the ups. […]

I had run out in the heat of midday Phoenix to get printer paper at Staples. On a Sunday afternoon in July the streets of this 3.2 million person town are nearly empty. Most were probably still at the lake for the fourth of July. The blast of air conditioning was welcome relief. No matter […]

What’s YOUR story? Everyone has a head full of myths about how the world works.
Oh yes you do. We have this wonderful brain that has the ability to combine truth and fiction in an instant. I didn’t realize how movies had affected my belief systems until I rented “Sound of Music” on a whim one […]

That’s a wonderful quote from Gerald Jampolsky’s book “Love is Letting Go of Fear.” And it’s so true. It’s rare for an upset to be a simple cause-and-effect situation.
Here, let me save you thousands of dollars in payments to a shrink. You’re sitting in the docs office. First question, “So, tell me what’s bothering […]
