Life Is Worth Living So Live It. Today I may ramble a bit. You’ve been warned. Today my fifth baby, third baby girl, turns 7. Her name is Mary-Claire. (That’s her in the photo above turning 3 in the San Diego Children’s *Hospital.) With six (6) children from the same wife with no multiple births I regularly hear wise, creative, loving people ask kind, thoughtful, personal questions like: Are you done yet? (Like a loaf of bread?) Don’t you know what causes that? (Yes I do and I like it very much.) Don’t you own a TV? (Do you have a nice one you want to get rid of?) What, are you religious or something? (Aren’t you?) When are you going to get fixed? (EVERYTHING on me works just fine. Obviously.) What’s my point? I have a couple, maybe even a few. One. Children are gifts from God. God does [...]
What a powerful book on making the sale. I’m on vacation this week but wanted to take a moment to thank Tina for sending me Oren’s book to review. It is one of the top 5 books on sales and persuasion I have ever read. His concepts of breaking frames and taking control of the situation in a concise, direct, methodical manner is mind-boggling. That is why Oren lives in Beverly Hills and flies around in a private jet. I’m re-reading the book now and will post a more detailed review next week when I’m back from vacation but if you want to close more deals now run to your local book store and buy Oren Klaff’s “Pitch Anything” today.

If you need drugs to get through the day your life is out of balance. Take a break and look inside yourself to figure out what is going on and what it will take to get things back on track.

I was so thankful to hear Wes Schaeffer's speech at the last Chamber breakfast. In a time when you wonder as you talk to other business professionals will they be optimist or pessimist, it was a great relief to get the encouragement from Wes.
He did not know his speech was for me. Wes talked about how a business can thrive and be extremely successful no matter how the economy looks. He gave many steps to help me focus on some specifics in my business. This year is the "Year of Increase" for my family and Wes' speech just confirmed how we can make it happen.
Thanks Wes for your profound expertise! It has been fun getting to know you!
