I never thought my son would take a shop class. When Robert was in 8th grade his schedule was determined by the science and math classes he wanted to take, so he was forced to take an elective for 4th period.

Imagine having double or even triple the number of members in your program at the end of next year. What would that mean to your business? Your income? Your future growth opportunities?

Engagement Secret: Never Underestimate the Level of Detail You Must Provide in Your Training
With all the bickering between candidates vying for president of the United States I’m surprised no one has mentioned the national travesty of selfie sticks.

A dead fish delivery can also mean other things, some of which may be even creepier. My friend Cheryl was a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. She had grown up in Florida, and her parents sometimes … Continued
How a Great Launch Destroyed a Business
Before I succumb to the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, I’ve got one final scary Halloween story for you. You’d think that if you were an info-marketer attracting nearly 100 people to your $997.00 per seat seminars, selling out two 18-person $10,000.00 per person coaching groups, that your money problems would be over.

What real professionals do
Pilots must have 1,500 hours of flight time to become a commercial pilot. That would be more than two months of flying if done nonstop, 24 hours a day.
