Everything Old Is New Again…

Old Telephone Technology

When Did You See One of These Last?

Really??? Although the Internet is new, our reach for Faster, Better and Cheaper, is not.

As human beings we’ve always striven to reach for faster, better and cheaper in our communications and commerce. The Internet is just the latest step in that process. Let’s go back a few years.

Our ancestors…

used smoke signals, runners, horse riding messengers, semaphores and the pony express to communicate over long distances. During the 1800s new technology came on the scene that began to expand our reach by leaps and bounds and led to the current Internet. Specifically: Read More…

Habit – The Gap Between Setting and Achieving Your Goals

What does “habit” have to do with achieving goals?

Although pretty obvious to me now, this flash of insight on “habit” just came to me recently. After how many years?

As I was preparing for the year ahead, I took some time to reflect back on the past year and ask myself questions such as; What has worked? What has not? What have I accomplished? Where have I fallen short? And, What do I need to change?  

Sounds like a Tony Robbins type of exercise, right? Perhaps you’ve done something similar.

Although overall, for me, it’s been a pretty good year; making gains and holding steady in several areas, I fell short in a very important one I had set a major goal in – new income generation. This, even though I thought the goal was reasonable and I even had some solid action steps in place.

Poor execution! Read More…

A View of The Yosemite Valley Tunnel

Behind Every Great Achievement is a Person.

While watching a National Geographic’s program showing and describing the winter landscape of two of our most treasured National Parks; Yosemite and Yellowstone, I was totally taken in by the sheer beauty of the settings. Have you ever visited one or more of our great National Parks? If not, you must go!!!

Here was nature’s unspoiled splendor, preserved for our and generations to come. A place to escape to, and perhaps allow oneself to put life in perspective. Have you ever allowed yourself to do that? If not, do it!!! Read More…

Is This You Pushing Your Goals?

…Make Progress Faster. If you’re like me and many others, we do OK in setting goals but, many times fail to achieve them. Perhaps the reason is that we’re just pushing the “same old stuff” forward, without looking at how we could do it better.

Using this as an example. Let’s say that today our objective is to make 5 new contacts per day in our business. Doubling (2x) the effort makes for 10 contacts, which should be doable and perhaps only requires some adjustment in our time management. But we’re still pushing the same old stuff (methods) forward.

10x That?

Now 10x that and better time management by itself “won’t” get us there.

With a goal of 50 new contacts, we’ll need to come up with a totally new solution (new thinking), and who knows what new ideas and better ways of Read More…
