I’ll never get used to this sort of thing, and I’m happy for it. One of my posts has made another leadership list, this time on a blog called Business Pundit, in an article titled 50 Tips To Make You A Better Leader. It’s not a ranked list, but the author has categorized the list. [...]

I was checking out a blog called The Practice of Leadership by a man named George Ambler. It was titled The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. On the post, he had the video that I’ve posted below, a presentation by Dan Pink, who’s written many books on the changing face of the working world. [...]
I’ve talked enough about this concept of “track record” that I figured it was finally time to write about it. Basically, track record is what your normal patterns are barring something extreme happening, unless extreme things occur in your life all the time. For instance, you could have a track record of always being late. [...]
One of my blogging friends named Mike CJ just wrote an interesting post titled Changes; actually, it had a lot of stutters in it, but I didn’t want to type all that out. In this post, he talked about doing a reexamination of his last 18 months in business, including his blog and other blogs, [...]
A couple of days ago, I got a notice via email that someone new was following me on Twitter. That happens often, and many times I check and find that the person following me isn’t being very social at all. In this case, the person wasn’t all that social, but did talk to a few [...]
I read a blog post today by someone recognized as a great online resource, Chris Brogan. The topic is Success Is Made Of Little Victories.

For those people keeping score, on Monday I posted something saying I was going a week without news, but I had started it last Friday. That means that in a couple of hours my self imposed ban will be over. It’s been an interesting week, I must say. I haven’t watched the news nor visited [...]
Though I’m not reading regular news this week, I did read a sports story about the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team. They just won their 71st game in a row, breaking their own record from about 8 years ago, and it doesn’t look like anyone is stopping them any time soon. They’ve won every [...]
A few days ago I wrote a post here titled Bring Peace Back Into Your Life. The two comments I got both suggested that I not watch the news anymore. Well, being kind of a news junkie, there’s no way I was going to agree to that. However, what I am going to do is [...]
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve come to an interesting conclusion, one that I probably should have come to grips with a lot earlier than now; I don’t like getting upset. Yes, I know, neither does anyone else. However, what I came to realize is that I allow myself more opportunities for getting upset [...]
