What’s Screwing Up My Life… Again?
Let me ask you this – have you been worried lately about running out of problems? No… I didn’t think so. Most folks have a fairly plentiful supply. Some might even say they’re endless. But whether your problems are limitless or merely overabundant, one thing is for sure. Those problems almost always look like their source is outside ourselves. Doesn’t matter what kind...

If You Fear Conversations
Once in a while I’m reminded that there are things I simply cannot teach others. One of those areas of limited talent is how to be a good conversationalist. Not because I’m bad at it, but because I have never had any problem in that area. I inherited my dad’s gift of gab, I guess, because I’ve never met a stranger, nor ever been tongue-tied when conversing with anyone. It never... [Read more]
Repeating a Prayer Across the Chasm
About eight and a half years ago (on September 14, 2001) I wrote an article in response to the shock and horror of the 9/11 disaster. Yesterday someone found that old article and reprinted it on their blog. I’d forgotten I ever wrote it, but the message is just as important now as it was then. Here’s that article again for your review. A Prayer Across the Chasm Shock fell heavily across... [Read more]
Your Integrity – for Show or for Sure?
There are lots of ways to life a life, and personal values are among the most powerful factors determining the path we choose. Is service to others your strongest value, or is it the need for respect and acclaim? Are you driven to provide for your family, or do you value money and goods most highly? All are valid choices, given an honest heart. So as I say, there are many ways to live your life, but... [Read more]
Nanny Government Grows Even Sillier
In this world there are three great lies: …….. 1. The check is in the mail, …….. 2. You’re the first, and …….. 3. I’m from the government… I’m here to help you. The first two lies can often be avoided if you keep your wits about you, but that third lie shares much in common with so-called ‘acts of God’ (once either of them starts... [Read more]
The ‘Everything First’ Syndrome Strikes Again
So here I am, working on a blog post about focus, and I get this feeling: “Hey dude, you’re not practicing what you’re preaching here, are you?” And I had to admit that, not only was I not being straight with myself, I had way, way, WAY too many projects all stacked up halfway between front and back burners. Rewriting one ebook Creating a new sales funnel for another Updating... [Read more]
Here’s What Coachability Means
Sometimes a client will ask me what is coachability, or maybe they’ll ask whether I think they’re coachable. If you’ve ever wondered about either of those, I have an answer for you. It’s in the form of an example – an athlete who is coachability personified. I stumbled across the story by accident. You’ve probably heard of Google Alerts. That’s a free service... [Read more]
Can’t Buy Me Love, Love
It’s a funny thing about money. Those who don’t have it are sure that if they only had some, they’d be far, far happier. But the Beatles were adamant when they sang “Can’t buy me love, no no no, no.” And the Beatles, by that time, had a pretty fair idea what money could and couldn’t do for them. We see the beautiful people of the world – the superstars... [Read more]
Feeling Blocked? There’s a Wide Open Gate
Usually, when we feel blocked it’s because we’re attempting to do something with our life that we don’t yet have the tools for (or we have the tools but don’t have permission – we aren’t ready to be “that kind of person” yet). Metaphorically, the Universe is a wide open warehouse, and we’re free to walk in and take anything we desire. Most of the... [Read more]
