It’s finally that time of year again… trade show season. It seems that once everyone realized how slow the month of March is, every company and organization began scheduling their meetings and conferences to fill in all the open dates. Now, it turns out that March is actually one of the busiest times of the […]
ContinueA World Without Consequences
Imagine living in a world where there are no consequences. What do you think that would be like?
At first, that sounds kind of intriguing, doesn’t it? You could eat whatever you want… calories wouldn’t count. You could drive as fast as you want… you wouldn’t get tickets, just warnings. You could stay up and party as late as you want… hangovers wouldn’t exist. Hey… you wouldn’t even have to work or pay your bills… someone would just give you free money. (Okay, don’t get me started on the last one!)
In theory, the notion of a consequence-free world sounds great. But in reality, that’s probably not a place that you’d actually want to live. In fact, every time we turn on the evening news, we get a glimpse of what it’s like in places where laws, rules, and consequences are ignored and trampled on.
ContinueStop Procrastinating… Do The Work!
With one month into the New Year, how well are you doing with your 2012 ‘To-Do List’ that you made back in January? Have you even started?! Of all the bad habits we can get caught up in, procrastination has to be one of the worst. Well actually, smoking crack is probably a lot worse […]
ContinueIt’s Your Ship, Be the Captain
You’ve heard the saying “the captain goes down with the ship”, right? But with all of the safety standards and regulations that exist today, did you ever think that this concept would actually apply to a situation in your lifetime? Until recently, I never thought it would. But all of that changed when the Italian […]
ContinuePlay Your A-Team
After going 15-1 in the regular season, the Packers looked like a tough team to beat. Sure, their defense was ranked at the bottom of the league, but their offense was one of the best. So… like almost everyone else in Packer Nation, I expected Green Bay to make it back to the Super Bowl […]
ContinueI Learned It By Watching You!
Back in 1993, NBA All-Star Charles Barkley found himself in the middle of a national debate because of what he said in a shoe commercial for Nike. It was a simple message, “I am not a role model”. Not a stranger to controversy, ‘Sir Charles’ defended his statement. Essentially, the point of his argument was […]
ContinueAnother New Year… Now What?
There’s something about New Year’s resolutions that I just don’t like. And no, it’s not the actual resolutions. I think it’s the fact that so many of us (myself included) wait until some arbitrary date to finally do what we know we should already be doing. The reality is that you don’t need to wait […]
ContinueThe Journey or The Reward?
A couple weeks ago I finished the new biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. And although I buy all my music from iTunes and listen to it on my iPod, I’m afraid I’d definitely be the ‘PC guy’ in the ‘Mac versus PC’ commercials. Nonetheless, I marvel at all of the incredible […]
ContinueThe Problem With Always Being Right
Chances are every one of us knows people who think they’re always right. It’s pretty tough dealing with them, isn’t it? At some point, it’s just easier to give in or give up. Of course, thinking that you’re always right and actually being right are two completely different things. And if you’re a parent who […]
ContinueBut… Are You Getting Better?
There’s a Spanish saying that goes… “Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo”. It essentially means “The devil knows more because he’s old, not because he’s the devil.” In other words… with age comes wisdom. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Regardless of what you do, each time you do it, you learn what works […]
