“In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product and profits. Unless you’ve got a good team, you can’t do much with the other two.”   ~Lee Ioccoca Been there, done that and lived/experienced the synergistic effects of the second sentence… P.E.A.C.E.

Daily focalPOINT – Going Deeper
Being wise often means having no need to say a word and having people understand what you aren’t saying… The Proverb for today contains a few more nuggets about what it takes to go from being dumb to adding depth (see yesterday’s blog) to your life. Proverb 19:8; “Those who get wisdom love their own lives;…
Daily focalPOINT – Dumb or Depth
o-pin-ion (noun) 1. A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Daily focalPOINT – Dare
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.” ~Seneca I write quite often about the devil’s favorite four letter word-can’t, but there is another word that starts with a C that he also enjoys watching us use. This other C word…
