Don’t Give Up So Fast

How many times have you made New Year’s resolutions only to abandon them shortly after the year begins? You make a promise to yourself about losing weight, eating healthier, or getting more exercise and then what happens? Life. [...]

It’s easy to say, “I don’t know how,” “I never learned how to do that,” or “I’m not good with technology.” These kinds of statements pay homage to your limitations. They showcase your lack of knowledge. [...]

It’s difficult to comprehend the power of a sheet of paper. It could transform your life. It could bind you. Liberate you. Excite you. Disappoint you. Thrill you. Shame you. Reward you. Reprimand you. When you think [...]

Every career path is challenging. Without question, those who succeed are fully vested. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to reach their goals. They just won’t accept failure. They press on in the face of hardship. [...]

Did you ever notice how some couples or co-workers seem to be in sync? There’s very little friction. There are few disagreements? And there’s almost no tension? Yet, other relationships are laden with drama? Well, [...]

Criticism. Most people hate it. But, astute people thrive on it. How else would they grow? The best thing you can do when people criticize something you’ve done or said is consider the source. Are they an objective [...]

Most dogs don’t like to wear anything on their heads. Believe it or not, they probably don’t like wearing costumes either. But, no one ever asked them. Pet parents (yes, parents, not owners) just dress them up and [...]

Overcoming objections Most people are put off by the word “no.” Not me. When I hear “no,” I hear “negotiation.” So I just keep talking, with the assumption that they’ll eventually say “yes.” It doesn’t [...]

Most people think a minute isn’t enough time to get your point across. My thinking is if you can’t explain it in a minute, it’s not clear to you. Reporters, CEOs and fast-paced executives don’t have time for [...]

Many of us let yesterday dictate tomorrow. Just because you had a lousy boss, cheating lover or backstabbing coworker doesn’t mean the next person will do the same. Yes, you’re now cautious, but you shouldn’t be [...]
