First of all, to all my email subscribers, sorry that you recieved the “Can you do me a favor” email again. I’m still playing catch up from being in the Ultimate Internet Bootcamp all last week, and that kinda fell through the crack. I’d like to give a heartfelt thanks to all who helped me […]
This week’s post is based on a wonderful presentation given at my BNI (Business Networking International) meeting by photographer Skye Moorhead. Thanks to Skye for collaborating with me on this post. Tony Robbins says that one of our human needs is certainty. Most of us want to know what to expect; we want to know what’s coming. […]
One recent hot weekend my family and I were checking out the pond at the Santa Anita Botanical Gardens. My youngest daughter, The Rock, started to insist “I want to go swimming!” Back in the car, she became even more insistent. We were on our way to my parents’ house, so I told her “I give you my word that we’ll go swimming in the pool […]
Have you ever heard anybody say “If only I can have this (car, house, relationship, etc…), then I’ll do what I want to do, and then I’ll be (happy, successful, fulfilled etc.)”.

I’ll never forget the time that I found instant energy. For a while I’d been trying to find the energy to get started on all the things I wanted to do. I’d be sitting in front of the television thinking “If only I could find the energy to get off this couch, my life would be a lot better.” I felt depressed and unmotivated. One day while […]
People tell me Mondays are too busy to read it so I’m changing email delivery to Wednesday. If you catch my blog on Twitter or Facebook you’ll probably get a preview before then.

I hate to admit this to you, but when I was younger and much more foolish, I used to open my door to some pretty unsavory characters.
