Are you pregnant (with a dream)? I’ve heard references to a vision or dream for your life or business like being pregnant. If this is true (which I believe it is), it means you must give birth to your dreams and ideas to see them come to life. This could be your actual business. It could […]
Fear plays an interesting role in our lives.
Last season, the television show The Office made some big changes. Namely the star, Steve Carell, left the show. He was replaced by James Spader. I have really enjoyed the shake up on the show and in particular Spader’s character, Robert California. In contrast to Carell’s Michael Scott, Spader plays a character that has it […]
spa Event Day 3 | Brian Shindle or It Doesn’t Matter!
I’m getting toward the end of my notes from spa Event Fall 2011. This one may be the most powerful of everything shared. Sometimes we get caught up in comparing ourselves to anyone and everyone else. We compare ourselves to speakers. We compare ourselves to competition. We compare ourselves to the people we work with. […]
In case you missed it. Last week on The Collective
This past week was consumed with attending and helping at the spa Event Fall 2011 show. One major benefit to helping out (mainly with sound and speaking) was the chance to sit in on a majority of the classes. A lot of this week was spent recapping the best info shared at spa Event. If […]

I have found so much good stuff lately, that I feel compelled to share. Before I begin, let me share 2 notes to those who may be […]
7 barriers to your dream. How to hurdle them.
We all have dreams. I dare you. Name it. Say it out loud. The reason you read this blog, get on forums, attend seminars and workshops is that you have a dream. The dream varies specifically for each of you, but it’s just as real for each of you. You have a dream. We all […]
How to leave a legacy.
Last week, Fast Company ran an article about your legacy as a leader. It shared the story of the author walking through a park in Toronto after the passing of Jack Layton. Layton was a leader in Canada’s New Democratic Party, and had just died of cancer. The park was covered with chalk drawings and […]
The week that was on The Collective
Just a quick reminder that in just over one week, I’ll be at spa Connects in Branson, Missouri. This Fall 2011 conference is based around content creation, so you can walk away from the conference with a lot of your 2012 branding and marketing in process or even done. Monday Take your business to the […]
