Here’s How to Grow Your Business
Many years ago, a friend told me about a seminar that he had attended. Each seminar participant received a cap with the word ON on the front of the cap and the word IN on the back of the cap. They were asked at the start of the seminar to wear the cap backward - showing the IN above his or her face. Each person could not turn around the cap with the ON above his or her face until they Continue →

A Simple Way to Measure Your Leadership Effectiveness
As the years went by, I learned to hire people who complimented and completed me and who were better than I was at driving for results and managing the things of the business.

And I began to understand that I was stronger at developing our Continue →
A Sure-fire Way to Stand Out From Your Competition
As our business kept growing, I had less and less time to help around the house. And I’m so thankful that my wife agreed to become the plumber, the electrician, the person to take care of the yard, a whole host of trees, and the swimming pool. She paid all our personal bills along with chauffeuring our three boys and their friends. I could not have done all that I accomplished without Continue →
If You Miss This Leadership Opportunity, You’ll Regret It Later
The other day, I ran into a friend from high school. After our initial pleasantries and greetings, my friend started to talk about our “good ol’ high school days.” A few minutes into our chat, I tried to turn the conversation to what was going on in his life now. But he repeatedly turned the focus back to what happened in high school and was uninterested in talking about the present or the Continue →
Why Some Leaders Can Never Grow Their Business
When I was a little boy, I was full of curiosity. I was also full of energy. My parents could have said I was ADDDDDDDDDDD! I believe that is why they put me in kindergarten a year younger than all of the other kids at the age of four. All of my early years in school, I struggled to just make average grades (and sometimes below average grades). During the spring semester of my 5th Continue →
Every Employee Asks These 5 Questions
For my first Olympic-distance triathlon, I trained with a good friend twice a day, six days a week. We scheduled our training round each other’s personal and work schedules. During our weekly training, we found that our strengths complemented each other very well: I was the morning person who would give him a wake-up call to meet for our training before going to work. We had Continue →
