A person has NO CHANCE of fixing a mistake they will not admit! Hiding from a challenge will not make it go away.  I learned that the quicker I confronted a challenge the quicker I could identify a solution and move on, it’s that simple.  Ignore a leak and watch it turn into a flood! […]

Some of the MOST beautiful things in the world are born out of darkness! Consider the fact that the most captivating photos were developed in a DARK ROOM; that the wonders of SPACE and STARS can only be seen AT NIGHT; or that the highest form of creation, human life, is nurtured in a DARK WOMB […]

Lesson #25 is another one of those that could have very well been Lesson #1.  Keep going until you get it or no longer need it.  Life has taught me that you will ALWAYS get what you need! If you find yourself not getting what you want out of life there are 1 of two […]

Sometimes as creators we get too involved or too attached to our creations.  Creation by definition is: the act or process of bringing something into existence; not the act or process of attaching yourself to an idea or methodology for life!  In theory all ideas, be they events, services or products, are created to benefit others. […]

Too often we take memories from experiences in the past into new experiences in the present.  Some may argue experience is the best teacher, that’s actually TOTALLY wrong! Evaluated experience is the best teacher! You will continue to get the same lessons in life until you learn them, because life is the ultimate classroom! In school if […]

PERFECTION IS THE MOTHER OF PROCRASTINATION!!!  Practice does not make perfect, practice makes habitual.   Some of the most acclaimed, highest paid athletes miss half of their shots.  HALF! They don’t just stop because half of their attempts have failed. The only reason they don’t miss 100% of their shots is because they keep shooting! Imagine […]

Things will break, things will get lost; people will back out and perhaps even worse.  When we focus on small things that ultimately don’t affect the BIG picture we MISS OUT! Truly making a connection and impacting someone’s life should be the goal of  every “self awareness/self improvement model”.  You never know in the BIG […]

  Oscar Wilde said “experience is simply the name we give our mistakes”.  Everyone makes them, it’s what you do with yours that them motivation instead of mountains.  Admit your mistakes quickly and move on.  Had I allowed myself to get stuck on every mistake made, I would still be somewhere looking for blind folds.  Yes! […]

Awwwwee to be flexible! When speakers cancel on you the week of the event, when the entire event runs late and you have to scrap breakout sessions you LEARN FLEXIBILITY! There is no time to dwell on what has gone wrong, all you can do is move on to the oh so many things that are […]

Lesson #30: JUST BREATH… this could have very well been Lesson #1.  It applies to EVERYTHING in life.  Don’t get me wrong not EVERY situation will not automatically change because you took a deep breath; but I can guarantee your REACTION to ANY situation will change when you do.  Breath is life, and when you take a deep breath […]
