...On Mackinac Island

Since we are in the middle of summer and vacations and staycations are the things to do, it makes me wonder if anyone else tends to choose vacation destinations that are out of the way. I've been a lot of places over the years, but it took me about 35 years to get to Walt Disney World, and another 13 years after that to get to Disneyland, I guess. Suffice it to say, I don't always pick the most common vacation destinations. I will admit that, most of the time, my annual vacations turn into… Continue

...On Summer

It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy. At least, that’s what they say, whoever “they” are. Summer makes me think of vacations and travel. I used to love to travel. Now days, not so much.



The first vacation I remember going on was when I was very small, probably about 3 years old, and our whole family piled in the car and drove to Florida. I don’t remember the

whole trip, but I do remember being in the Smokey Mountains, stopping at my…

…On Traveling Light

Many people this year are opting for “staycations” but there are plenty of others who will be packing suitcases and loading up their cars or heading for the airport in search of the annual respite from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. The thought of packing suitcases brings to mind more than a few things for me…over the years, I’ve learned to lighten my load when I travel. So now, when I pack to leave on a one week trip, I can generally forego the 28-inch Pullman…

What's your WHY?

One of the first things I do when I consult with a business owner is to discover their WHY.



This is their reasons for being in business.

It's their value structure.

Their vision.

Their beliefs about themselves, their business, and their clients.

It's their philosophy.



I do this before I talk about the business or how to market that business...and why do I do this?



Because in my humble opinion, the most… Continue

The Problem with Success

I've been thinking a lot about success lately. We throw that word around a lot - myself included - and yet I'm not really sure we understand what we're saying. Mostly because we don't think far enough in advance...



For instance: I'm in the business of helping business owners strengthen their businesses. One of the ways I do this is by focusing on marketing.



So I could develop a marketing plan that could "succeed" in bringing new clients and new sales. But if the business… Continue

...On Graduations and Celebrations

Graduation. It’s not something we think about every day, or often for that matter. And when we speak of graduation, we primarily think of that momentous occasion when we complete our first 12 or 13 years of schooling.

...On Time

Who understands time? I will admit I do not. I do not understand how something non-tangible is so valuable and seemingly scarce, but yet it is infinite. Time flies when you are having fun. Yes it does, but where does it go? As I sit here nearing the end of the weekend and multitasking in the futile hope of accomplishing everything on my to do list, I know that all too soon it will be…
