 "In learning, you will teach, and in teaching, you will learn." Phil Collins It's wonderful doing what you love to do for a living. It is exciting and fulfilling. You know what's even better? Knowing that you don't know everything and being willing to ask for guidance. This is what we call "Emotional maturity." I can't express how much confidence you will gain, in any profession, when you ask for help from someone you feel is top tier in your field. None of us knows it all and asking for help doesn't mean you don't know anything, it means that you are willing to learn. I speak from experience and ditches stepped over because I listened. Let me explain.  "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." Galileo Galilei I knew nothing about Personal Training.  All I knew was that I loved to exercise and I was great at sweating. But man! I loved it! I was one of three Registrars at the lo...

"Make your Vision so clear, that your fears become irrelevant."  I am not a Social Media Expert. Nor do I pretend to be. I, like a lot of people, use Social Media for fun and business. Meeting new people online can be fun and I do love the great conversations that I have had with many. For me, the positive outweighs the negative.  So this past week must have been a full Moon for ding-bats on the internet! The spewing! The verbal attacks! The out and out verifiable untruths that were being bandied about was amazing! The "Thumb-Thuggery" was over the top.

Right? Well, I tried posing a question to one of these "Experts" and was called rude. What? Am I rude because I asked a question ...

"Racism, because it favors color over talent, is bad for business."  Steven Pinker Some years ago one of my more wealthy clients said to me that racism in business is not sustainable. That after a while, and it might take a while, like a piece of fruit, the rot from the inside starts to show. We see it all around us. Huge corporations that have been around for some time now, are being derailed, failing, lawsuits abound. Why? Because they forgot the first rule of business: Y our personal feelings are your feelings. But if someone is making money for you or can make money for you...Hire them and keep them. This is why I ask the question: Are you dumb? We live in an age where nothing is secret. Everyone is on Social Media spewing their hatred(s), outrage, naked pictures, etc. on various sites. As a money making business owner, why would you think it was copacetic to hinder someone in your business from progressing, make lewd/racial comments or be violent against someone be...
