Paul Coelho says; …there is suffering in life… …and there are defeats… …no one can avoid them… But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.†P.E.A.C.E.

Daily focalPOINT – Direction
“If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.” ~Jim Rohn This quote makes me think of the most effective coaches and leaders I’ve been around and read about. They teach as much as they preach (a.k.a. scream). If…
Daily focalPOINT – Human Endowments
“Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.” ~Stephen Covey …this is why God called us humans and not animals. So many people are not aware of these four endowments and run their lives on…
Daily focalPOINT – Which Factor?
“True Faith is having confidence in God when the flesh and world indicates otherwise.” I don’t know how many people I’ve coached over the years that profess to have faith and believe in God and the power of prayer but their actions indicate no faith and no trust in God’s ability to answer their prayers…
Daily focalPOINT – On Leading
“The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. I’m sure I’ve used this quote before, but it is one of my favorites and is helpful to remind me of what true leadership is…

If you’re marketing your firm to new customers, you better be able to provide them service when they do business with you.” ~Arthur Levitt So many businesses fail to remember marketing is not so much how the product…
Daily focalPOINT – Sales
“If you are in sales and only enjoy doing what you are doing when you close a deal…you are going to be miserable most of the time.” ~Jay Meyer Over the years I closed many deals but no deal was more gratifying than when I finally closed a deal with a customer I had first…
Daily focalPOINT – Respect
“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.” ~Ann Landers I love this quote from Ann Landers and I also believe the true measure of a leader is how he or she treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. Whether you are trying…
Daily focalPOINT – Self Motivation
“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” ~Zig Ziglar How many times have you left a motivational offering or read something that moved you and you immediately feel the blood flowing the brain cranking and you can hardly wait to get home and make…
Daily focalPOINT – Start and Finish
“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” ~Goethe I’ve always made it a habit to tackle the one thing I dread the most, first. Procrastination is an excuse for laziness, being undisciplined, fear of not knowing what to do, fear of failure or all the above. I have found those who get ahead…
