While it can be easy to dismiss 2020 as a rough, challenging, and maybe even "bad" year, I wanted to call some attention to some positive things that happened all along the way. It is difficult to remember that this time last year I was hanging out with friends in Rhode Island, having come up from visiting family for Christmas just a few weeks before. Frequent flyer miles were … [Read more...] about Happy New Year – Looking Forward in 2021

Strategy Wednesday – Workout Wednesday…
A "Strategy Wednesday" has been long overdue, so I've blocked out a few hours today for it. Basically it's a reassessment of what's going on, what I can do better, and often what I can drop or discontinue. And... this applies to my lifestyle as a whole, not just business or entrepreneur stuff... but also fitness and food. Much to the annoyance of some, I see all of this as … [Read more...] about Strategy Wednesday – Workout Wednesday…
The Value of a Fresh Start
As usual, there's a lot of tough talk on the internet and Facebook about how New Years resolutions are useless. And I get it, I understand that for many people, resolutions fail year after year after year. Especially big, "unrealistic" resolutions... HOWEVER... No, I'm not sharing the missing adjective, that's between me and me. Sometimes these resolutions fail because … [Read more...] about The Value of a Fresh Start
An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About
Frankly over the past couple months I have been neglecting one of my own weekly "meetings" known as Strategy Wednesday. One thing after another, maybe a conference call, or more likely a case of getting too psyched about finishing a task on or before the self-imposed deadline for it caused Strategy Wednesday to fall by the wayside. This was not a good thing, but still I kept … [Read more...] about An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About
Less of a Podcast, More of an Under 20 Minute Ramble — Thoughts on Goals, Goal Setting and When You Might Want to Reassess!
Some of you all enjoy my rambling (I worry about you guys...) some of you don't. If you don't then please skip this one. I had some thoughts about goals, goalsetting, and how to know if your goal is right for you or not AKA when to re-assess and/or start with a clean slate. Alternately, you can listen on your computer OR subscribe via RSS on your android or other devices … [Read more...] about Less of a Podcast, More of an Under 20 Minute Ramble — Thoughts on Goals, Goal Setting and When You Might Want to Reassess!
Reflections on a 21 Day Challenge and the Concept of Self Discipline
Another friend on Facebook started a neat "21 Day Challenge" a little while ago. The basic premise being 21 goals in 21 days - and... they don't all have to be large goals, they should be all sizes and all themes - but things which can realistically be accomplished in the 21 days. Needless to say I got in on this immediately, as I had been making some itemized (don't ask...) … [Read more...] about Reflections on a 21 Day Challenge and the Concept of Self Discipline
Strategy Wednesday: A Visit to the Floatation Tanks…
[Warning, this is not a normal post about exercise or food. It gets a little weird and silly in places, so if you don't feel like reading it, no hard feelings, there will be more talk about exercise and food coming later in the week.] Whenever possible, I try to take at least a small part of each Wednesday (at least an hour, hopefully much more) for redirection, goal setting, … [Read more...] about Strategy Wednesday: A Visit to the Floatation Tanks…
Drawing a Line in the Sand
Yesterday I went to visit a friend of mine who lives in Celebration, FL. For those of you who live outside Florida, Celebration is a city built by Disney. It's pretty neat, and most of the eerie-ness has worn off of its perfect "all built at the same time" veneer. As more people have moved there, they’ve managed to smooth the “Stepford-like” edges in that way that humans do. … [Read more...] about Drawing a Line in the Sand
Create and Become Your Own Ideal
So... a lot this week about photoshopped pictures on the covers of women's mags, and now this whole thing with a tv show that I don't watch calling someone (who looks pretty normal to my warped mind) "too muscular." Of COURSE it's one of those shows totally targeted to women. Now, before I reach for my aluminum foil lined hat and start screeching about conspiracies of women … [Read more...] about Create and Become Your Own Ideal
