Earlier this year I wrote Personal/Professional blur and perhaps it was a more politically correct way of saying that I don't want to turn work off - ever. If you're not the same way, I am perfectly fine with that. What got me thinking about this topic again is the following question from the idea … [Read more...]
I'm never right
No, I am not going to go on a rant about always being wrong. There is a world of difference between "I'm never right" and "I'm always wrong." I'm always wrong projects a defeated and negative attitude. At least that's the way I see it. I'm never right pushes me to challenge my own ideas with … [Read more...]
Go ahead and get started
Sometimes you just have to complete one task to get the ball rolling. Search that daunting to-do list for one item you don't want to do. That's right one item you don't want to do but can get done in five to ten minutes. Now, Just....do.....it. Next thing you know you'll be looking for one more … [Read more...]
Write it down and watch it happen
How often do you take an hour or so and convert all your projects into a larger written plan? While I don't have a set interval, looking back through my Moleskine notebooks I write it all down about four times a year. For me this is more than a writing goals exercise. It's a visualization of how … [Read more...]

What's your next dream?
The dream you are working on now is already reality or at least becoming so. What's next? I'm not suggesting you lose focus but it might be time to look forward to what's next. I've worked the better part of two years to make one of my dreams come true. I'm now at the point where the dream is … [Read more...]
Solve problems and grow stronger
However bad your problem seems, I can promise you there is someone out there dealing with something a whole lot worse. While the previous statement should give your perspective it does not in and of itself solve the problem - right? The problem you are facing may in fact be the worst problem you … [Read more...]
Live in the moment
Have you ever been so wrapped up in your own little world that you feel like you missed something? I had just this feeling on a recent flight. So, I stopped writing, closed my MacBook, took my ear buds out and had an hour long conversation with the woman sitting next to me. Social media is real, … [Read more...]
Define your own pond
For a while ColorMetrix was a big fish in a small pond. Then, the pond grew and other fish jumped in "our" pond. The pond, however, was getting bigger, so while we noticed we just kept swimming and growing like the rest of the fish in our pond. Finally, there was a drought and the pond stop … [Read more...]
Embrace change
Change is a constant - right? Sometimes change affects you positively and other times negatively. Sometimes you accept change willingly and other times, not so much. I met a man this week who does not seem to accept change willingly but he does approach it positively. He argued and fought with a … [Read more...]
