You hear about them on the news. Everybody loves the overnight success. The undiscovered wonder child who suddenly became successful. The natural talent who literally was picked directly from the street into the studio. Or something along those lines. What they neglect to tell you is the years of hard work that preceded the success. The late nights and early...
Right at the beginning of the curve, before the steep power of exponential growth sets in. That’s where you’ll find them, the early adopters. They are the ones that are trying out new things that most of us haven’t heard about at all. They are the ones that are shaping your future even though you’re completely unaware of it. They...
What can one person do? As it turns out, a lot. History is full of people who led major revolutions. Not all of us will lead a revolution that will change the world entirely. Not all of us will gather masses of several thousand that are protesting in the streets. Not all of us will be written about in history books...
As we enter a new field that we know nothing about, we want to become masters of it as quickly as possible. Eager to become professional, we try to take shortcuts in the learning process. Don’t. Don’t ignore the fundamentals. Don’t skip the basic lessons. Don’t disregard the essentials. Learning new skills have to take time. Let them. There’s no...
A blank page. Intimidating. Nothing to see. Nothing to write. Nothing to say. But that’s not true, is it? We all have something to share. A story to tell. Your story is unique.

To that someday when we will have more time to do what we truly want. We just need to keep working that dreaded job until...
We all have 24 hours in a day. That’s a lot of hours to get things done. OK, we sleep some of them, but there’s still plenty of time to make something worthwhile. How do you manage those hours? What are your priorities? At the end of the day, do you feel content with what you have accomplished? Lately, I’ve...
As the new year is upon us, I find that it’s an appropriate time to reflect on the year that’s passed. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly. That nagging feeling that you’ve accomplished very little. That you have nothing to show for. Most of the time, that feeling gives a false representation of reality. Before you plan your actions for...
How many times have you decided that you’re going to start running? You start off enthusiastically. Perhaps buying a brand new pair of running shoes. Maybe a new training top. You go for your first run, well, semi run at least, most of it is walking. A few days later you’re at it again. This time a little more running...
Life hits you smack in the face. Think you’re going to have some time for yourself? Think again! Think you’re going to have time to contemplate and work on your blog? Think again!
