Are you doing hard work or working hard?
moclinical.com viagra You say potato… Maybe it’s truly only a matter of semantics, but there is a difference between hard work and working hard. My post on Tuesday suggested that hard work is a key to success in life. I referred to an interview with Freeman Hrabowski from The University of Maryland – Baltimore. This is […]
What I learned last year in life, business, creativity.
Sunday I turned 38. I’ve come to realize that there is no other way to see it. I’m closer to 40 than any other number (than 39 which is basically 40). I’m okay with that. In fact, I’m great with 40. I’m excited about what the next 5, 10, 20 years of my life is going […]
Your dream coming to life is hard, messy and painful. It’s like having a baby.

Layton was a leader in Canada’s New Democratic Party, and had just died of cancer. The park was covered with chalk drawings and […]

Don’t stop believin’. Develop your belief statement.
I received an email… My friend Mark sent me an email in response to Monday’s post – Define the why. It was an email that made me stop and think. He challenged me to go further. To not just say, “Why?”, but to say why in the context of a belief statement (or mission statement). He […]
