And like Apple, your profits and brand.

Because the only company that doesn’t have problems is the one that’s gone broke.

And here is the big difference. Read the rest of this entry »

Apple’s Got Problems

July 13th, 2010

I wish I had that scale of and multitude of problems that Apple has. why?
Because the only business that doesn’t have problems is the one that’s out of business.

So as Brier Rabbit said, “Please don’t throw me into the briar patch.”

Every time we become more successful, we increase the number of problems we have to deal with.
Then that opens up, if we are innovative, to help more people solve more problems.
For more joy and abundance.

Cowardly Conversational Barriers

July 11th, 2010

If you want to get vacuous conversations moving in a relationship start talking about the kids, the relatives or friends’ lives. Even the most reticent, resentful or detached partner has something to say about those things. A momentary truce is established.

It’s so cowardly to talk about the kids, the relatives or friends in order to avoid matters of the heart.

Having counseled about 1000 couples over the years, I am impressed with how many people are willing to weigh in on (you fill in the topic _____) in order to find a brief respite from the tension.

Now is The Time

July 9th, 2010

Just got back from a great vacation in Croatia.

A 6-day bike trip with Vermont Bike Tours. With some relax time on either side.

I did not have a vacation for over a year. Revenues were down. I was “nose-to-the-grindstoning-it” just to keep up. Read the rest of this entry »

Engaged Minds Fire up Performance

June 29th, 2010

Use your mind to transform people’s performance.

Our mind rolls along — or doesn’t — on  the four wheels of

(1) our brain; (2) our spirit; (3) our personality and (4) the conclusions we’ve come to as a result of our life’s experiences — the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Read the rest of this entry »

Risk, Trust, and Relationships

June 24th, 2010

Particularly as it applies to business partnerships and marriage.

Recently two friends of mine got divorced after about 8 months of marriage. Both of these guys are in their 60’s. I also, at 65, ended a business partnership after 4  years of turmoil. You’d think we’d learn!

Reflecting on these events during my 6-day bike trip in Croatia on those 6km long, winding switch-back uphills in 90-degree weather I came up with the following: Read the rest of this entry »

Brac and Hvar in Croatia.

So it is easy this first day back in my office to agree with John Ruskin (with apologies)
