Making your life better blog

People are over leveraged or can’t pay their mortgages, credit card debt is out of control, and many just owe too much money.  These are all problems that relate to having poor money skills.

I was recently at a conference where after I told people what I did they kept referring my work to business succession planning.  I kept correcting them to say that I did business exit planning as part of my work.

We spend too much time thinking that there is not enough in the world.  At least in the US, scarcity seems like a silly concept.  We live in a land of abundance.

I’ve been thinking about collaboration and synergy for the past couple of months.  It seems that both words are misused on a regular basis.  Because they’re misused they have taken on a negative meaning with many.

Are you feeling down?  Do you feel that the world is getting away from you?  Then it’s time to find a touchstone and remember when things were better.

I’ve been wondering if ADD is a right-brained issue.  The right brain does not work in a sequential manner.  The left-brain wants to line up everything in neat little rows just like my schoolroom when I was a kid.

One of the complaints I most often hear is, “I can’t find good employees”.  I believe this is a challenge, but one that can be overcome.  Like many other tactical issues in a business having systems in place and following a few simple rules can help when it comes to finding the right employee for the job.

A topic I see written about on a regular basis is the ongoing discussion about separating your personal life from your business life.  For years I tried to do this and about fifteen years ago I gave up and have been much happier since.

It seems to me that many times we’re uncomfortable talking to those who are dying or even talking to family members who have a loved one who’s dying.  In my opinion that’s too bad.

One of my favorite books last year was Tribal Leadership by Dave Logan.  In this book he talks about five stages of life and what the primary description was of each stage.
