Success

Success, it’s not what I can get for me. It’s what I can give…..

Respect

Respect - esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability: I have great respect for her judgment.


I have a new found passion for the word. Pass it along, respect! Make sure you include the exclamation point…

Wow July 1, 2010!

Lots and lots of business and personal changes. Best part is I did not ask for the changes but all of the changes are for the better. Well at first they defiantly did not come off as “changes for the better” but sure have worked out that way. Stay tuned, more details later. ……..

Deal Fatigue?

I have a whole respect for deal fatigue. During a recent conversation with a fried and prior to this conversation I have used the phase deal fatigue. What does it mean? To me it means no matter what actions I took, the deal took its own course of actions that required specific milestones not know at the beginning of the deal opportunity. It went from an easy to evaluative to a complicated series of events that needed to happen before the deal really had any real value.

It’s amazing how quickly when one moves away from a successful routine, just how much off the rails the day-to-day grind becomes. This is defiantly one of those times that self-discipline becomes an absolute must.

As a life lone Entrepreneur working alone and unsupervised, this may be a time whereas being in a group would be a touch better. Mostly because when working in a group and I know there are tons of research for the benefit of working in groups – I do better in a group at times because of the commitment I make to the group.

I recently came across the following and now use it in the tag line of all of my emails:
