The other day I was watching the Turner Classic Movie channel and they were doing a spotlight on the life of Fred MacMurray. Depending upon your age you may remember Mr. MacMurray’s role as the dad in “My Three Sons.” MacMurray was one of Hollywood’s best as he was in over 100 movies in…

January is over. How many of you made a New Year’s resolution? How many of you have been able to stick with it? Habits are very hard to change. There is an emotional rush present in the initial stages of making a commitment to making positive life changes and this rush is fueled throughout…

This is my favorite quote on discipline. The last word of the quote is key and many people fail to identify their purpose in life and their life wanders aimlessly like a ship without a rudder. I’ve committed my 2016 posts to helping you make the most of yourself and that begins with finding…

Due to the instant gratification world we live in, I observe people building houses (their lives) with little to no planning and preparation. I do strategic planning with organizations and individuals for a living. It is not easy for people to plan. Strategic planning in its simplest form is casting a vision and creating…
