Thought on Life and Business as I See It.

- Success can be attributed to many things. The top three are Trust, Optimism, and Skill. Start there.

- Be mindful when people project a need for a takeoff when what is really needed is a turnaround.

- Grow for your own sake, then grown into sharing, giving and being cooperative with others.

Look around you. Who are you asking for what things in this life?

- "Transparency" is not a buzzword it is a core value and a reasonable expectation than can be used towards achieving long-term success

- Those who call themselves business gurus are often full of ______ ( you fill in the blank)

- The term "game -changer" has got to be the most overused and abused term in 2010. Stop it!

- If you want to be really effective be honest about your failings and humanness, say no when you feel you

must.

- Network high and low,everyone matters. Diversity is very important.

- Do not pin your success on someone else's pipe dreams. Build your own separate equity.

- Do not go thinking you are better than anyone else when you can just show that you are.

- When evaluating the potential of a market/opportunity, demographics are qualifiers but understanding and having charge over psycho-graphics will determine the ability to convert to success.

-Branding occurs from the inside out. Cheerlead and feel good about yourself in order to have what you offer seem and be worthy of a following by others.

LETTING GO....

L-E-T-T-I-N-G G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable? It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing. It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar" and continues with even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following: " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency, Barack Obama", and of course President Obama. Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana." (*my heart breaks for ...

Ask and it is answered: Companies and Social Networks - April 2009

Should a company build it's own social network or should it just join the ones out there that already exist? I think many companies will want to build their own social networks in order to moderate, control, dictate , and ultimately impact the branding message in favor of the organization. When you decide to host a dinner party, your guests are typically going to eat some of what you have decided to serve. It's like that when a company builds their own social network. PR and Marketing end up being in full play. Should they doe this? Absolutely. NING, Linkedin, and even A SMALL WORLD allow for this type of action. However, as much as a company may try ..it is truly difficult to exist in a bubble and the newer platforms ,i.e. Twitter seem to make it less likely as people choose to lend their ears or not. Who doesn't want the data and qualitative feedback of the consumers that manifest the cult at their disposal?. Companies dependent on wide scale and diverse consumer demog...
