As I’ve gotten older, I find myself sometimes not being able to remember things as well as I could when I was younger. I’ll be thinking about something and then someone will ask me that exact thing, and my mind will forget what it’s called for a minute and I’m stuck and feeling stupid. Most [...]

I’ve been working with a friend of mine lately on some of her business goals and personal dreams in my capacity as a business coach and consultant. This isn’t usually the type of thing I do, but I find that it’s sometimes easier to help someone else analyze their business and make positive strides with [...]

A few days ago I asked Can You Overcome Interruptions. This time, I’m asking you how well you’re able to hit deadlines. In all of our lives, there are times when we’re tasked with finishing something by a certain time. When we were kids it was making sure our homework was turned in on time, [...]

Last week, on one of the news channels that I don’t watch (someone else alerted me to this I had to go check it out), one of the commentators was talking about the troubles that Tiger Woods is been having lately. During the course of his commentary, he mentioned that he had heard that Tiger [...]
