Success
Saw this image posted today and couldn't resist sharing this. We are all brainwashed to believe that success should be a linear path, rational, predictable,... Those of us that have realized success fully understand that success follows failure, zigs and...
A slap on the back, OK…
But, a punch in the face? What the hell happened at Rutgers? If you think that abuse is motivating ala Bobby Knight...get a grip. If you want your team to soar, give them some positive feedback and constructive coaching and watch the effort you will get in return....
Differentiation
Isn't this what we are all looking for with our presentations, product design, clothes we buy...but we all tend to follow the pack. Watch this... Think outside the box Brick

If a tree falls in the woods…
We are all familiar with this expression, but I am still surprised by the staggering number of small businesses that continue to place less emphasis on sales and marketing and, conversely, spend a disproportionate amount of time with internal communications around...
It’s out there if you know how to get it!
There has never been so much capital sitting on the sidelines looking for a home. I was with an entrepreneur today with a mind-blowing idea and he couldn't even get anyone to listen! Here is someone with a giant idea and all kinds of technology...and no one will even...
Persistence, yes, but…
We all know persistence is a critical quality for success in business but intelligence is required too! Enough said. Brick
