New Years Message

How exciting to be at the beginning of a new year—twelve new unused months lie ahead. A new year where anything can happen and everything is possible! Evaluate and act. The beginning of a new year has always been an important time for me. I try to do an evaluation of the past year’s performance in

Leadership: Part 1

Leadership is…Studying Successful Patterns. The opening sentence to Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina reads, “All happy families are alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” I’ve met a lot of very different happy families, and I have to agree—each happy family is successful in exactly the same way.

Just Move

Choose the destiny that will make your dreams come true. Nearly sixteen years ago—in January 2001—I headed deep into the Rocky Mountains to ride snowmobiles with a friend and business colleague. After riding for only a few short hours, my snowmobile broke through some ice. Shortly after, my colleague’s snowmobile had a mechanical problem. We

A Simple Formula for Self-Mastery

A Simple Formula for Self-Mastery “You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself…the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. …And this law is the expression of eternal justice.
