A friend of mine from my networking group called me to ask a question. His son is in the MBA program at Middle Tennessee State University here near Nashville, TN.

Can You Stay Focused?

I have been reading and studying Napoleon Hill’s “Success in 16 Lessons” for some time now. A very intriguing lesson is the twelfth lesson on concentration. Hill defines concentration as the act of focusing the mind upon a given desire until ways and means for its realization have been worked out and successfully Continue reading →

Total Recall Memory of 911

I have heard of people with photographic memory or eidetic memory and always wondered how they do it. It is an amazing feat that the brain can remember every moment of a person’s life. I believe I have a better understanding of it today than I did 14 years ago. Maybe it just takes an Continue reading →

Do You Ever Network with Your Competition?

It may really sound weird, but do you ever network with your competition? I mean set up a face to face meeting with someone in your industry to discuss common synergies to help each other grow your businesses? Do you still believe in an “Us against Them” environment?

A good business friend of mine asked me this week about my content marketing. It made me laugh at first. Four years ago, I didn’t even know what the phrase content marketing even meant.

If You Are in Business, Remain Silent

This week in my town of Nashville TN, we made the national spotlight for a shooting. As I watched local and national news unfold this story, it became apparent, it is more important to report something than to report the facts. In another sad day for our country, the gunman was initially reported as a Continue reading →

Is Your Dream Big Enough?

When you think about where you want to be in your life, is your dream big enough? Richard Branson once stated “if your dreams don’t scare you, they are too small.” I don’t believe most people dream that big. Something inside most people make them feel big dreams cannot be achieved. That only the Continue reading →

Do You Use Influence to Close Your Sales?

Did You Water Your Bamboo Tree Today?

As an entrepreneur, I understand the pains and pitfalls of growing a business. I have done it twice from scratch. It can be frustrating to work long hard hours with very little sometimes in return. Your friends and family keep telling you to quit and get a job. Job is the acronym for “just Continue reading →
