Ever felt like this?
Today I happened across a video showing a halftime celebration honoring the 1991 NBA Champion Chicago Bulls. (awesome video. totally worth checking out)
While watching I was transported back into the days of my youth watching Michael Jordan and the Bulls and just knowing in my soul that I was going to be a basketball star.
I was so passionate about the sport that I even used to sleep with my basketball in the bed with me. (don’t judge me) I really thought that I would make it to the NBA.
To make a long story very short, that didn’t happen. It was an early experience with failure that was devastating for me at the time.
I was reminded that me and failure go back like Lazer Tag and Alf reruns. I don’t say this as a source of pride. (trust) And each failure at the time felt like the end of the world as I knew it.
Along the way there have been other equally devastating experiences with failure that have helped to shape and define my life. I now realize more or and more that It’s never been More >

Sometimes, when tragedy hits, its easy to sweep it under the rug of our minds if it didn’t “directly effect us.” This isn’t cool at all. In case you don’t know it, we are all in this thing together. I decided to make a video about it.
Check it on out:

The Power of Giving

I like this post topic. I really, really do. I want to share with you a concept that is not only extremely powerful but also incredibly simple as well. Any business can incorporate it, make it a focus, and see immediate benefits but, sadly, not to many do.
As a matter of fact, in today’s business environment, its use can often be seen with much cynicism and yet this does not take away from its power or effectiveness. Are you loving the suspense yet? (or is it plainly obvious because of my post title…either way, act surprised) With out further ado, in order to unlock this “magical” wonder-concept, all you have to do is…give. Ta-da!!!! Seriously. That’s it, that’s all. Nothing more to see here folks…
When it comes to your business (or your life to be honest) giving, and especially giving value should be a rule of thumb.
Why Should You Give?Giving seems to be a hard concept for a lot of us to embrace because it goes against a lot of the rules of how we normally think business should be done. We think that if we have a valuable service or product and can More >

Elegantly put. Powerful in its brevity and its simplicity.
The quest for business success leads down many paths and doesn’t spare any from the roadblocks and setbacks that are sure to arise on the way.
No, you are not special (at least not in that regard). There is nothing new under the sun! The difficulties that you are experiencing are not just some karmic payback from a former life filled with wrongdoing.
You have set out on perhaps one of the most difficult and yet rewarding journeys in the business world. The setbacks are just the price you pay for the results you want. With that being said it is important to condition your mind to be in it for the long haul.
I cannot stress the importance of keeping up the right mindset. You have to EXPECT to succeed in you business. See it in your mind. Imagine how it will feel when you get to your goal. Speak it to yourself every single day.
When you do this, roadblocks, setbacks and obstacles will no longer matter at all. You will see challenges as having been already More >
Dream Big Or Die Slowly

This post is for my big dreamers. It’s for those who cannot help but to feel like they can/should accomplish more or have a life of purpose. You may wonder why that feeling is unshakable? Or why you have this deep seeded desire to try. Don’t be alarmed people because you are not alone.
We ALL have felt the pull to do some great thing and anything else but its accomplishment to causes you great discomfort. When you are not trying to do it you can feel it. It causes you to question and re-question your current job choice(s). Call it what you want to (I like to call it the call of destiny, but again, I too am a big dreamer) I have news for you my friend. That feeling will NEVER go away. EVER.
For the most part we are allowed to hold onto our dreams as children but then we “grow up.” Slowly but surely we learn that to dream is foolishness. We see that our lot in life is to work to make ends meet. Nothing wrong with that. The problem is that we are told that it is the ONLY way.
