  Ten Key Strategies for Overcoming Failure   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (1)

  Action separates between the winners and the losers in life. Massive action is the key to consistency in productivity and achieving results in life. Being consisstent in action does not mean filling up your days with activity. Activity does not necessarily mean productivity. You must have a clear-cut goal that you aim at attaining. Failure [...]

  Sowing Seeds   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration, Learning, Success (2)

  I’ve been a bit reflective lately, surprising I know. *snort* I’m seeing with more and more clarity how we create our own realities, frame our own expectations and then our very lives based on those thoughts and feelings.
  This sounds supremely simple, yet every day the energies and resources spent refuting the truth are insurmountable. [...]

  The Sweet Magic of TALENT   Attitude, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (0)

  The entire United States, particularly the College world, is currently deeply consumed by the NCAA tournament. The entire nation tuned in yesterday to see two teams punch their ticket into the Finals after a terrific Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight and Final Four. Memphis advanced to the Finals by beating UCLA and Kansas advanced by beating [...]

  GROWTH: The Six Keys to a Better Life   Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Learning, Productivity, Success (3)

  One of the most important things that must be grasped in life is that growth is not permanent. Many times we set a goal for accomplishment and once that goal is attained we sort of settle into a feeling that we have arrived. Best example of this is the diploma mentality. Most people stop learning [...]

  Raising The Bar   Choices, Inspiration, Success (7)

  I’m bound and determined to make 2008 the year I really jump into 100 bloggers. I truly love the overall feeling of this group, the topics shared and ability to rub shoulders with other fantastic bloggers.
  My first post wasn’t written for the topic of reflection, but I think it fits well enough to share. [...]

  Nelson Mandela on Optimism   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration, Success (3)

  My favorite quote (which I believe to be one of the greatest statements ever uttered) is from Nelson Mandela. No man, besides Mahatma Gandhi, has ever demonstrated greater leadership since Constantine the Great in 280 AD. Mandela is an icon - a rare species of a man, who was jailed for more than twenty years yet stayed focused and came out to [...]

  Swinging For The Fence   Success (3)

  I’m not sure if this is my favorite quote, but I like it a lot.
   “Every strike brings me closer to the next homerun.” — Babe Ruth
  It seems to me that there are a lot of us swinging for the fence, or at least, hoping to make solid contact.  I don’t see anything wrong with that.  Batter [...]

  Systematic Problem Solving   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Learning, Productivity, Success (0)

  We all face problems daily. As a matter of fact, life is a series of problems with an occassional crisis here and there. One of the most important skills to develop therefore is the art of systematic problem solving. Systematic problem solving simply means having a methodology for handling life’s problems. By solving problems in an orderly [...]

  I am fortunate to know some of the fabulous posters to this blog. In fact, I’ve been invited to post here, since, I believe, the beginning of this collaboration.
  I’m drawn to finally post at the urging of Phil Gerbyshak. (A show of hands for everyone reading this who has done something positive at [...]

  NiagaraFalls: Dolores at the end of my rainbow

  Originally uploaded by shersteve

  Sometimes you don’t have to go too far to find what you are looking for.
  I made the connection with Dolores 27 years ago. Since we have been successfully married for 25, I think that is something.

  The Choice is the Spark   Change, Growth, Inspiration, Success (2)

  All to often we get frustrated when we feel uninspired, get writers block, can’t decide on a college major, etc.  Sometimes it’s the simple movement of chosing something that enables us to get fired up and inspired to do other things.  Yes, often our choices are the wrong one and life has a way of [...]

  Choose Boldly   Choices, Success (2)

  I’ve made plenty of choices in my life. Heck, that’s pretty much all we do, right? Some of those choices were great, and some less so. The funny thing is that the great ones always seem to have been the bold choice; the ones clearly outside of my comfort zone. So [...]

  Change: Success   Change, Success (3)

  Think about the words that oppose change. Rut. Stagnant. Rigidity. Fear. Those words don’t carry the illusion of fun and they certainly have nothing to do with growth or success or — horrors — adventure.

  Choose to Make Public Speaking Easy   Choices, Success (1)

  Public speaking is tough. Almost everyone experiences anxiety when asked to speak in public. All communicators face anxiety, even the most seasoned communicators. This phenomenon has been referred to as “having butterflies in the stomach”. I have come to love these “butterflies in the stomach”. I never know when they will start flying but I’m [...]

  How to be a Sure Champion   Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (2)

  Yesterday I had the chance to watch the final game of the much anticipated rematch at French Open Tennis Championship between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It was a very hot day outside and my wife and I decided to play scrabble while we watched the championship. Our 16-month old son was right in the mix as he ran [...]
