Accept the Challenge

If you want a rose, respect her thorns.

Why are you going there?

If you’re not running away from something, what are you going towards?

According to the Pareto Principle, 20% of your actions produce 80% of the results. If there was ever a superlative hack, it’s this.

What 20% of your action will get you 80% there?

Your team can move the needle faster than ever before by answering this simple question.

Don’t fight fear. Afterall, fighting can be final and fear is also created by God.

Dance with fear to find a way forward.

Afterall, fear may not go away and decide he wants to stay a little longer. As a gentleman he’ll eventually will get the message. Until then, dance.

You can anticipate most reviewer comments with inverted thinking.

Think through the message forward and backward.

If you want to get something passed through reviewers, ask yourself, ‘How can this be unacceptable?’ Find the answer and then try to avoid it.

Situations are rare when we can’t ask for help.

Work is like an open book test. Learn like a professional.

We market messages of hope and a brighter future.

But that’s not reality.

Field teams are the ones most connected with reality. Gather intelligence from the ones with feet on the street.

One small candle has the power to overcome a roomful of darkness.

Don’t you underestimate your spark. We’re counting on you.

Good Sitting Posture

Maintaining a good sitting posture is a way of taking care of yourself.

Imagine you’re sitting across the table from someone at a restaurant.

Reassess your posture every 20 minutes.

Your health is your wealth.

The Good Kind of Contention

You’d rather argue for something than argue against something.
