I’m a huge fan of the new song by Pharell Williams, Happy. I’m not sure if it’s possible to listen to the song or watch the video without a smile on your face. It’s four minutes and six seconds of pure happiness. I find it a great way to start my day…especially when I get […]
I’m in Charlotte this week working with my largest client. I’m working with a group of salespeople and today was non-stop role plays. Let me start by saying no one likes role plays.

If you’re like most people, you do it at least 1,095 times a year and you do it WRONG. And each time you do it wrong, you compromise your health, energy and longevity. I have to admit that I did it wrong for a large portion of my life. It’s easy to do it the […]

And while that sounds great and most people nod their head in agreement; they find it difficult, if not impossible, to know how to get started. Or they simply feel overwhelmed with the fact that the timing […]
