Personal Development
Leader, Know Yourself
How often have you heard inadequate leaders, when things go wrong, blame their staff, their customers, their competitors or the government, or a combination of those? But never seem to show any awareness of their own shortcomings? In an age where there is constant pressure on companies large and small…
Having a Bad Day? Bad Month? Bad Year? Be Thankful for It.
Let’s face it: being thankful for just the good things in life is easy. What about those of us who might not be having the best year, or are experiencing some form of adversity in our lives? It could be in any or all areas–personal, professional, financial, and even spiritual. This no doubt impacts our emotions, and our “attitude” of gratitude.
Are You Tapping the BEST in People…or the Worst?
The next time you’re watching television, keep an eye out for the car commercials. No, I’m not going to ask you to count how many spots you see with shiny new status cars with giant red gift bows on top…but rather keep an eye out for another common character that shows up in automobile advertising: the jealous neighbor.

The Unrivaled Power of Anger
It’s interesting how the power of anger compares to the power of the atom. Think about it—when used for evil, it can destroy and kill millions. When used for good, it can change lives and the world, all for the better. It all just depends on the choices we make.
“Yeah, Whatever.”
Well, here I am, sitting down to write another weekly article for Market Leadership Journal. Truly, it’s just another task in an ongoing routine. Frankly, I just want to get it done so I can check this item off my list and move on with my day. If you like what I have to share, that’s fine. If not…well…whatever.
Pope Francis: The Great Messenger
This week, even in the secular news media, Americans will be seeing plenty of coverage of Pope Francis’ historic visit to the United States. This is not just his first visit to the U.S. as pope, but his first visit ever. Pope Francis will have a busy schedule—meeting with the president, addressing Congress (another historic first) and the United Nations, and then on to Philadelphia for the World Meeting of Families. And again, the news will be all over it. Which begs the question: why is Pope Francis so popular, even among those who regard themselves as non-religious?

For many business leaders, a big obstacle they often face to growing their business is actually running it. Are you making the best use of your time?
The Snooze Alarm Has Gone OFF.
Several years back, when I was carrying an iPod classic, I purchased a clock radio called an “iHome.” You have likely seen them or other similar models still around for the iPhones—they serve as a charging base for your iPod and will also play your music. They are great—and you can set your alarm to wake up to any iPod tune you wish. Like most clock radios these days (albeit the term “clock radio” seems a bit outdated), my iHome had a “snooze” button. In fact, it’s the largest button on the top of the console, so my slumbering hand can easily find it when the alarm goes off, and I am not quite ready to get up.
