There is a classic scene in the movie Cool Hand Luke where Paul Newman is beaten down by a cruel warden, who then utters the famous line, “What we’ve got here is… failure to communicate.” Ever since that moment first appeared on the silver screen, it has become imbedded in our vernacular. I just wishContinue reading “Communication Is a Dirty Word”

Are you afraid of failure?
Are you afraid of failure? I know I am. Well, maybe that’s putting it too strongly. But I’m certainly no fan of failure. I fight against it every day. I plan against it, guard against it, and pray against it. Read more here…
2 Tips for Boosting Your Sales Dramatically
If you want to boost your sales dramatically, there is no single tactic to help you. Not buying a CRM. Not investing in online advertising. Not starting a new sales process.

Where to find more frequent posts
I have NOT abandoned this page, but I have been using my Facebook page to post shorter rants musings. Here’s the latest one… Take it from a guy who’s done it twice: burnout is no laughing matter. So why do we push ourselves so hard? For some, it’s about the pressure of being successful. ForContinue reading “Where to find more frequent posts”
Ending my radio silence
Talk about radio silence. My last post was almost 2 months ago. Wow. I am definitely not a blogger. Nor is my desire to be a blogger. I just want to be a guy with a perspective. One that others find valuable. So, please know that while I am committed to posting more often than every twoContinue reading “Ending my radio silence”
The End of the World as We Know It (pt. 3)
Well, we survived. 12/12/12, that is. Or is it supposed to be 12/21/12? Whatever. Thank God that the Mayans were not describing the end of the world. Apparently, the whole thing was mistranslated. Unfortunately, there is now a Mayan god named Bolon Yokte walking around Manhattan in underwear and a really big headdress. And peopleContinue reading “The End of the World as We Know It (pt. 3)”
The End of the World as We Know It (pt. 2)
Cough, cough… Well, what started out as a minor illness a couple of weeks ago turned onto a bit more, then started knocking dominos in different directions. The blog, consequently, took a hit. So much for starting a revolution. C’est la vie. But I’m back. Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Breaking down that infographic.Continue reading “The End of the World as We Know It (pt. 2)”
The End of the World as We Know It (pt. 1)
I’m a context guy. What I mean by that is I like to must see the big picture. Some might call it the bottom line. Whatever. If I don’t see the greater context, I struggle with listening to the details. It’s like some form of torture, where I’ve been tied to a chair and haveContinue reading “The End of the World as We Know It (pt. 1)”
Viva La Revolucion!
I want to start a revolution. Not some rise against corrupt, imperial authority. And not some post-modern rant against the machine. I’m talking about the kind of revolution that describes a worldwide shift in how we live. And more specifically, sell. Technically, the revolution has already begun – and I didn’t start it. When computers were reduced in theContinue reading “Viva La Revolucion!”
