Mitch's Blog

Today is Blog Day, but this year I have two blogs with different focuses. So, I’m going to recognize some blogs here that have to do with one type of thing, then some blogs on my other blog that have to do with what I talk about over there. I’m not sure it’s cheating or [...]

Yesterday Michael Jackson turned 50 years old; 50! Talk about defining moments on one’s life. I’m not ready for MJ to turn 50; it means that I’m that just closer to reaching it myself, and I’m certainly not ready for myself to be 50. Michael Jackson is my favorite performer of all time. I don’t [...]

I got this from one of the Twitter faithful I follow. It’s called the $20 Million Dollar Man, and it starts with a video, which I’m posting below, and an opportunity to get a free report on how this man, who made it big, lost it all, then made it even bigger after he’d retired, [...]

First, the latest TTM Consulting Newsletter, Some Positive Customer Service Experiences, is available. Who would have ever thought the day would come that came, well, late last night, with the acceptance speech of Barack Obama of the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party? And, how prophetic it was that it came on the 45th anniversary [...]

I don’t have call waiting on my cell phone or on my home phone. I have it on my business line, but not because I wanted it. My business line is cable phone through Time Warner, which I got because it has the all-important voice mail, which is much clearer than any answering machine I [...]

First, the latest issue of the T T Mitchell Consulting Healthcare Newsletter, CFO Issues, is available. Let me ask you a question. If you’re a leader in some capacity, how do you affect people you interact with? It’s a question many managers can’t answer, or may be fooling themselves by answering incorrectly. I would bet [...]

Yesterday I received a call out of the blue from someone who’s trying to be a consultant in the healthcare industry. She said that, in her opinion, she has the skills and the knowledge to be a consultant, and in the few assignments she’s been able to get, she’s gotten nothing but kudos from the [...]

First, the latest issue of the T. T. Mitchell Consulting newsletter, Dealing With Know-It-Alls, is available. Next, the heading is an interesting question. Truthfully, I don’t watch Fox News. The only time I did was on September 11, 2001, when I kept switching around to different news channels looking for more information on what was [...]

I’ve always believed that two of the most important qualities one wants to have in themselves and see in others is loyalty and trustworthiness; honesty is a close third. If you have these things in your friends, and they see them in you, then life will be great because you know there’s always someone who [...]
