Are you interested in finding your authentic voice? Would you
like to be more confident? Does the sound of personal freedom
tickle your fancy? Would you like to learn more about yourself
in a very compassionate way? Do you suspect there may be
treasures hidden inside you that so far you've been unable to
identify and put to use? Are you looking for a way to
systematically make positive changes in your life? Is there a
book or an invention inside you just crying to be made manifest?

Marketing a Product Is Most Effective When Presented Through Story Telling
Many years ago, when I was just a young rookie salesman I was fortunate to fall under sway of a wonderful veteran sales manager. His name was Milton Lupow and he became a mentor, teacher and coach as I struggled to climb the ladder to success. The lessons he taught stick closely to me until this day and at every opportunity I introduce Mr. Lupow's concepts to my clients. When I became a sales ...Read the rest of this entry »

Right now I'm "doing what's in front of me" so to speak.
However, when I decided to write articles, I knew I wanted it to
be consistent so that I would be sending a professional "signal"
to all of you. That took some planning. We most definitely have
to know what we want out of life in order to get it. That takes
some thought and some more planning. Do you want to travel to
Australia? Do you want to be a Doctor? The part of planning that
involves the big picture is called the Vision. Successful ...Read the rest of this entry »

Think for a moment about all of the signals people send. As much
as some try we cannot compartmentalize our lives. We are all
affected by our spirituality, our intellect, our emotions, and
our physical ability, and each area of our lives affects the
other.
Our bodies send signals of all kinds to those around us, and
even to our own soul. Did you know that the word psychology is
named after the Greek word psyche, which is literally the study
of the soul? Who we are cannot be separated from our ...Read the rest of this entry »

domiciles, and friends? What percentage are living a life by

An informal survey (by me) over the last two weeks has revealed
an interesting statistic.
I asked almost everybody I spoke to (even strangers) if they had
enough time. If they had enough time I asked if they had enough
money.
Most said they had neither enough time nor money. A few (very
few) had time but no money. Even fewer had enough money.
Then I asked if they knew anyone who had enough time and money.
One person could name three people, but I do not think he knew
them very well. He was ...Read the rest of this entry »

Startup capital is necessary to start your business.
This will enable you to reach for your dreams and to attain the price possession that you are aiming for. A business will not run if there is no starting capital to work on in the first place. There are many sources around that will help and give you the capital to run a business but you also have to know the consequences it will incur you if you did not met their requirements.

The Parthenon Principle
Have you seen a picture of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece? I
will never forget walking up to the massive granite ruins. The
size and power still remaining in a building constructed 2500
years ago is overwhelming!
Although the roof lies on the ground, in pieces, most of the
columns that supported it are in place. There are a lot of
columns!
I think of the Parthenon's roof often. If its' roof had not been

I am always thankful when someone tells me, "No." I have learned
not to take it personally. The word "No" doesn't mean anything
about me. What it means is I need to find the next opportunity
and find someone who does want my services. The answer "No"
frees me to move on and look for the "Yes."
I remember when I first started my own business and someone
