The 110% Simple Solution
Back in the Early 90’s Marc McCormack wrote a book called “The 110% Solution” – an EXCELLENT book at the time. The audio was even better because I could listen to it as I drove around to various real estate offices hustling mortgages as a cub Mortgage Banker in 1992. (I lived on coffee, cigarettes,…
Open Minds
Sometimes the solution you need is right in front of your face, but for whatever reason, you don’t see it. Sometimes you don’t see the solution because of strong beliefs or preconceived notions. Other times it’s because you don’t believe a solution could be “that simple.” And still, other times you don’t see the solution…
It All Comes Down to Priorities…

Why?” That made me stop and really…

Feedback
Most people don’t pay attention to, ignore, or are blissfully ignorant of feedback in their lives. People don’t read the feedback from webinars, or blog posts, or their help desk, or social media.

I wrote a book and it didn’t sell
I think writing and publishing your own book is a great goal… here’s the response to the “I didn’t make any money with it.” That’s not unusual. Very few people actually make much money on just book sales (unless they already have an audience)… you make money BECAUSE you have a book. The book is…
