The English language is a funny thing... and The Princess Bride is a hilarious piece of art... We have one normal word for love. So when I want to show my feelings and appreciation for different things, I might say that I love my wife, I love my brother, I love my pastor, I love … Continue reading “I Don’t Think It Means What You Think It Means…”

Your Mental Soil
Laying in bed after the first night of an awesome leadership conference, I'm imagining a picture in my mind that one of the speakers mentioned... and I would like to share it with you very quickly. The Biblical parable of a sower who goes to plant seeds can be a parallel metaphor for a speaker … Continue reading Your Mental Soil
Attend Everything!
Yes, I'm from Alabama. And yes, I make constant trips across the country for Leadership and Entrepreneurial Seminars. Not only do I enjoy every minute of them...

95% vs 5% (part 3)
So the question for the final part of this mini-series is HOW would someone increase their 5% thinking so that they are able to change their 95% results?

95% vs 5% (part 2)

Trim the fat… not the Muscles
"I need to lose some weight... You know what? I kind of enjoy the fat - I'm going to lose weight by eliminating muscle mass." If you were to hear this from an actual human being, you would probably offer a first-class straight jacket. No one in their right mind would think to lose weight … Continue reading Trim the fat… not the Muscles
Directionally Correct
Yesterday was a good day... that's not enough hyperbole... last night was very close to a perfect evening. Let's start with a principle: your life is made up of little moments. More specifically, your life is made up of TIME. This is your one shot - the one chance that you've been given to make … Continue reading Directionally Correct
I know, I know… I know!
Okay, Okay, you don't need to yell. But if I may ask an obvious question... ...If you know so much, why are you living as if you don't? Teachability is a primary mindset in growth and development.
