Gary Vaynerchuck, Heather Armstrong and Chris Brogan are names that may not be ringing the celebrity bell in your head, but they are on the "New Celebrity A-List." Recently Forbes magazine came out with the top 25 biggest and brightest stars on the internet. People, ok geeks, unknown in the “real world” are gathering followers in a big way- online.

Communicate Better with Clients from Foreign Cultures

Should female professionals (married or single) invite male clients to lunch? "Of course," most Americans would say. But that's not necessarily so obvious in other cultures...

Exactly two weeks ago I was pondering this while driving to the Caracas airport--fresh from speaking to some Venezuelan professionals about how to develop more clients. A lot of women in the audience had asked me, "Is is appropriate for me to invite a male client to lunch--or will that be misinterpreted?" The ans… Continue

Traveling Can be Risky

Being a National speaker takes me traveling all over this great country of ours- and at times that involves taking a few risks; like this one. Last week I traveled to Pierre (pronounced Pier) South Dakota. When I booked the speaking engagement with the South Dakota Department of Tourism, I was leery of traveling to South Dakota in January, but the conference team was so positive and professional I thought why not? The title of this year’s conference was… Continue

Right, Wrong or Just Different- Generational Insights

Generation Y never lets me down. The stories on how they think and act differently keep coming my way. Last week, I spoke at the National Tractor Parts Dealer’s Association. This particular association is rich in generational diversity. Many of the members are the original owners of their business going back 30 to 40 years and by now, most of them have acquired younger partners, managers and staff.

This was the third time over the past several years that I was presenting so many of the guys kne… Continue

Studying the Stars Shows the Importance of Time Management Skills

If you struggle with the motivation to get started on a good organizational regimen, just look skyward about 370 miles. That is where the Hubble Space Telescope orbits, circling Earth once every 97 minutes.

Back in the early 1990’s, the misalignment by Hubble engineers of one mirror’s lens by 1/50th of a human hair ended up costing taxpayers $8,000,000 for repairs. If one microscopic calibration overlooked by a trained expert comes with that kind of price tag, imagine how much more likely compa… Continue

3 Steps To Successful Selling

OK, so I made this a little too easy;perhaps. When you can speed read the titles of blog posts, articles, books, and most other mediums, something that is "short and sweet" can catch your eye and possibly draw you in.

In my 27+ years in sales and sales management, while there is almost NOTHING new under the sun, there are different ways to package the sunshine. Here is a 3-step plan to help both new sales reps and seasoned professionals get a firm grip on selling.

1. Identify- You can c… Continue

Reflections On The Slight Edge

Somewhere in the early 90’s a came across an article written by Jeff Olsen, “The Slight Edge.” Back in the early 90’s Jeff was a major player in direct marketing. I loved Jeff’s idea and put some of them in practice. 2 weeks ago, I saw the article again, and was compelled to buy the audio recording of his book, The Slight Edge.

Here is an excerpt from Jeff’s original article on The Slight Edge

What if you gave yourself five years to become twice the person you are today: to earn twice the inco… Continue

Are We Too Time-Crunched for the Pursuit of Happiness?

The second week of November is “Pursuit of Happiness Week.” Pursuing happiness may have been much simpler back when the Founding Fathers were writing about “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Although life was tough for many of them, options often limited.

Now we have so many choices we feel constantly stressed, pulled in multiple directions. Our time management skills often fail as we try to cram more into our schedules, and our natural organizing abilities get buried under heaps of… Continue
