It seems like it never changes. There’s always way more things that need to be done than we have time to do. Ask any successful person how they’re doing, and they’ll say, “I’m great, but I am busy—it’s been a crazy week.” There are always a lot of meetings, phone calls, wrapping up projects,… Read more »
At one point or another, all of us feel the effects of burnout. There have been times where I have been guilty of this as well. But sometimes people are suffering from burnout without even realizing it. A lot of times when you’re in a funk, you don’t know what it is. When you don’t… Read more »
Toxic behavior has become an epidemic. It seems like everywhere I go, there are at least a handful of negative people in a room. You can spot them from a mile away because they all seem to have the same miserable look on their faces. They’re often sarcastic, rude, and closed-minded. They have a negative… Read more »
We all know the feeling. You’ve spent the whole day running back and forth, responding to emails, completing tasks, attending meetings… but by the end of the day, you realize you’ve accomplished nothing!

My son, Adam, is a competitive bodybuilder. An approach to progress in his world is, “train to failure.” What does this mean? In order to build muscle and strength, you have to lift a weight until you absolutely cannot do it one more time. There’s a bit more to it, of course, but studies have shown… Read more »
If you’ve taken the Serial Winner Assessment, you might be wondering, How do my strengths and weaknesses compare to others who’ve taken the test? Or, I’m doing pretty good … right? Or maybe, Am I normal? I’ve released some results in past posts and articles, but we have hundreds of participants now and more people… Read more »
I remember very clearly the moment I gave up being a pilot—and learned a life lesson about setting goals that make a difference. After 140 hours of time in the air with an instructor, I was taking my first solo flight. Every first solo is the same: Take off, circle, land. I took off, I… Read more »
The good things in life go to those who fight through challenges and keep overcoming obstacles. All day long we face large and small hurdles that can make us want to give up or give in. Life is saying to us, “You say you want this? Prove how much. Fight for it. Earn it.” Overcoming… Read more »
Relationship problems can kill your progress in life. On the flip side, strong relationships give you power and reduce the number of problems you face overall. None of us will travel a completely smooth road in life. Things go wrong and put our world in a spin. Usually the first thing we do is reach out… Read more »
The grand masters of chess aren’t obsessing about their next move and the exact problem it presents. They’re thinking 5, 10 and sometimes 20 moves ahead. They keep their eye out for potential danger on the horizon and constantly maneuver to avoid it. You can dramatically increase your chances of success by doing the same… Read more »
Mental toughness has been getting more attention in the media these days, especially with all of the Navy Seals writing books. I read a great statistic recently—83% of coaches say that mental toughness is critical for “determining competitive success.” Personally, every time I’ve achieved a goal—big or small—I’ve had to coach and motivate myself to make… Read more »
It seems like everywhere we look today our heroes are falling—publicly. Volkswagen, deflate-gate, Ashley Madison, two world bridge champions (that’s right, the card game), Atlanta educators.
