PERSPECTIVE

You’ve probably heard of people who are dying and their “regret lists” before. This article, however, from a nurse who worked with ‘end of life’ patients struck me so I decided to read it. The list may not contain anything earth shattering, though I found #1 and #3 interesting and not quite things I had […]

I’ve written about Seth Godin before. The bestselling author, TED Speaker and Brand Strategy Guru shares something valuable every time he blogs, writes, or speaks. So, when I saw this article from entrepreneur and author Andrew Griffits 7 Sage Strategies to Challenge Your Thinking From Seth Godin about what he learned after spending a full […]

Have you ever wanted to write a book? Not sure what to write? How to start? Afraid that what you have to say isn’t important, won’t be liked? Afraid you’ll fail? Join the club. I found some advice for you from someone who’s been around the block or two when it comes to writing. This […]

I admit it, I fall for the click-bait titles now and again.  Sure, some are annoying, but every once in a while you find a gem. I’m a Tony Robbins fan to be sure, but I certainly have seen my fair share of click-bait surrounding him even from his own facebook ads. So I was […]

Sara Blakely, the billionaire founder of Spanx, knows a thing or two about questions. I ran across this article about 2 Questions That Will Help You Think Like an Entrepreneur and of course I was intrigued.  Don’t be fooled by the title though, these questions really aren’t solely aimed at Entrepreneurs, in fact, you could […]

I found this article about why “colleges are broken“, and it resonated deeply with me.

It’s that time of year right?  Time to make your New Year’s Resolutions! According to FORBES only 8% of people are successful in their New Years Resolutions.  So maybe you don’t need Resolutions. Webster’s defines the word Resolutions in many ways, one of which is: “the act of determining”.  Makes sense, and without questions being […]

Earlier this year Seth Godin posted a really interesting blog post titled Your Mood vs. Your Reality. One of the questions he poses is “Does something have to happen in the outside world for you to be happy inside?” He goes on to point out the various economic/marketing connections to ‘happiness’ which is interesting, and ultimately […]

I miss Honor. I miss the honor and camaraderie that we see depicted in movies like The Three Musketeers or the jedi knights of Star Wars. The kind of Honor where people stood for something that mattered.  Something good.  Something just. It used to exist in America and England and France.  It was called Patriotism. […]

It’s an interesting idea.  Ask questions to determine if you should trust someone’s advice. At least that’s what Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert wrote on Oprah.com with Elizabeth Gilbert’s 4-Question Test to Know Whom to Trust I’m not sure I buy it though.  (This coming from the guy who lives and breathes questions, I KNOW, […]

I love card decks. Magic Cards, Angel Cards, Playing Cards, it doesn’t matter, I just love the portability of bringing information with you. It’s why I created my own QWIP’s Cards to help people with my concept of Motivestions. SO, when I came across this article: The Genious Deck Helps Reset Your Brain When You’re […]
