Sometimes seeking advice from an outside advisor just makes good sense, but it takes humility and strength to seek assistance. Humility is a powerful trait for leaders. An independent resource someone not caught up in your everyday life, your office politics, preconceived notions, or in the ‘this is how we’ve always done it syndrome’ can often be more objective and shine a brighter light on how to obtain and implement the solutions you desire in business and life.

His Son's Are His Reason To Never Give
His Son's Are His Reason To Never Give

I met with a client today who has a permanent disability due to a drunk driver accident but, he isn't bitter. He met with me to discuss an invention idea and while we talked he explained his desire to role model to his sons that possibilities always continue to exist regardless of your circumstances. He went on to say that there was a short period of time when he was depressed and bitter but, no longer as that isn't what he wants his sons to see. His son's are his reason to never give up.

A new product must offer one of two things – it could be a new concept, or it could be a significant improvement on an existing concept. Both are equally good. Either way, your idea must provide something that is not currently provided. Create something new or improve something old.

Make This a Merry & Bright Holiday!
Make This a Merry & Bright Holiday!
December 23, 2019
The holidays while filled with joy can be stressful too. Remember, not everything has to be perfect, breath and make some time for yourself. Spending just 15 minutes alone, without distractions, may refresh you enough to make the holiday season easier and happier for you. Find something that reduces stress by clearing your mind, slowing your breathing and restoring inner calm.
Some ideas:
Take a walk
Look at the night sky and stargaze
Listen to soothing music
Count your blessings
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
December 31, 2019
Year after year we make resolutions to exercise regularly, eat well, give up bad habits, find love, be more successful, etc. But most of us fail to keep our promises to ourselves. Why does this keep happening? It's because we just make a wish vs. making a plan to succeed.
In 2020 try something new. Start by doing these things:
- Stop waiting for someone else to magically fix you or make you happy.
- Decide what you want and write it down.
- Be realistic and set goals that you believe you can achieve.
- Remember, you can't sit on the couch and wait for things to change.
- If you want something you don't currently have you must do something you currently aren't doing.
- Write a positive plan of action to achieve the goal(s).
- Stick to the plan and do the work.
- Keep the the promises you make to yourself.
- Become your own solution.
Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and successful New Year!

Have you ever wondered why so many people seem to be chasing a dream, but they never even get close to obtaining it? It's because everyone talks about their dreams, they chase them in their minds, but they never actually make and follow through with an action plan. Very few people will ever realize their dream and most often it's because they don't do the work or they quit on themselves too soon in other words.they self eliminate when the going gets tough. Winners know it isn't easy, they fall down and get back up (many times), they don't lose sight of their dream, they do the work and when everyone else says it's time to give it up.....they keep going never giving up on themselves or their dream.

When you talk with inventors about how they came up with their invention they often say "it just came to me....last weekend, while I was fishing, while I was camping, while I was on vacation, etc. The moral of the story "you must unclutter your mind to create something new". Take advantage of the upcoming long weekend it's the perfect time to unclutter your mind and energize your creativity.

Are You Struggling With Covid Fatigue!
Are You Struggling With Covid Fatigue!
January 22, 2021
Since last March we've all faced Covid-19 challenges. I don't think any of us expected the pandemic to interrupt our lives for this long. The realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends and colleagues have taken a toll on all of us. What can we do to reduce Covid-19 fatigue? We need to retain hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The vaccination roll-out has begun. However, it's still going to be awhile until we get past Covid-19 so, we need to stay the course with a healthy routine:
- Get up and go to bed at similar times every day.
- Keep up with personal hygiene.
- Eat healthy meals at regular times.
- Exercise regularly (if you don't feel safe at the gym check out http://gleedance.com they offer on demand fitness classes).
- Make time for doing things you enjoy that can be done socially distanced.
- Continue to wash hands excessively and mask up when venturing to the store, clinic, etc.
