Be The Solution, Not The Problem
In business, as in life, you’re either part of the solution or part of the problem.

It’s tempting to believe that success comes from getting everything just right, from ensuring every detail is flawless before you make a move.

In business, there’s a mantra that’s been recited so many times it’s become gospel: “The customer is always right.” But let’s be honest – it’s not entirely true. Customers aren’t always right. Sometimes they’re misinformed, unreasonable, or just plain wrong. But how you handle those moments when a customer is wrong makes all the difference. […]

Why is it so hard to say “No”? I must admit that this is a problem I deal with all the time. I am a people pleaser, many of us, nay most of us are people pleasers, we like to say yes, we like to try to help people, especially when they are offering something […]
Stop Making Excuses: Results Come From Action, Not Intention
Everybody’s got an excuse. Especially in business, there’s no shortage of excuses. We hear them every day—why something didn’t work, why a target wasn’t met, or why an opportunity was missed. The truth is excuses are easy; action is hard. If you want to achieve results, you need to stop making excuses and start taking […]
