A person that’s trying to convince you that success is possible without effort and struggle is a person that knows neither success nor effort and struggle. The way I see it is that person is trying to sell you a bogus concept and idea so don’t buy it. Just run away!

I hope and pray that you won’t just hope and pray for a positive change to come in your life today, but you will actually be the exception and get busy putting feet to your faith and moving toward that which you’re praying for.

Yes my friends, be encouraged today and know that your positive change is only a few unknown number of steps away. You just have to BYOB (Bring You Own Belief) and be willing to MOVE!

So, take one more step toward your positive change and success today if needed and Make it GREAT!

If I’ve said “No” to speaking at your event, please don’t hold it against me I’m just trying to practice what I preach. Sure I could be speaking at a different event almost every day of the week as I travel around the world if that was truly my goal. But this action would actually take me away from my family on an extremely regular basis and my actions then in my eyes would make me extremely hypocritical.

I truly believe that family should be all of our primary priority and if we have any control in our career we should always, always, always era on the side of being there for our family on an extremely regular basis. No it’s not all about the money you make, it’s more about the time you take, the memories you make and the legacy you create.

This breadcrumb of wisdom can be a tough one to swallow, but tough is sometimes necessary so eat up and go up. 🙂

Let’s stay committed to keeping the main thing the “main thing” as we continue in our unyielding efforts to Make it GREAT!

GREAT WEEKEND !!!

I’ve always believed that true success in the absence of struggle, strain, setbacks and pain does not exist and to-date my philosophy still hasn’t changed. In fact, my philosophy and belief in this notion has actually intensified over the years because of what I’ve seen and experienced first-hand in my own life and the life’s of so many others I’ve had the privilege of working with.

Truth be told, I actually believe that the struggle, strain, setbacks and pain are the key ingredients and components that adds the value to the goal that is sought-after and attained.

Simply put… Any “Success” in the absence of struggles and troubles runs the increased risk of being void of any real intrinsic value to the person involved in the process. That’s right folks, as odd as it may seem and sound… I believe that Experiencing “Loss” actually increases the value of your eventual “Win”, and experiencing a “Setback” actually increases the value of an eventual “Comeback”.

So I encourage you today to welcome the No’s & the No-Show’s. Embrace the Pain & the Strain and push past the Struggles & the Troubles and realize that in those moments the value of your goal is being super-sized on your way to Making it GREAT!

GREAT DAY!!! 😉

One of the biggest wastes of time I’ve experienced in my short 43 years of life on this planet is wasting time trying to explain myself or trying to offer some free, sound advice to a combative, argumentative, short-tempered, close-minded idiot.

As a result, I now have a new three word philosophy you can borrow if you find yourself in need in the not-so-distant future. That three word philosophy is, “JUST MOVE ON!!!”

Yep that’s right folks, it’s that simple. Don’t waste your time with these special types of idiots. I’ve heard of a “dog” whisperer, and a “horse” whisperer, and I’ve even heard of a “ghost” whisperer, but I have yet to hear of an “Idiot” whisperer. So just move on and let that idiot be an idiot until they’re ready to change and stop being an idiot. I know this message may be a little harsh today, but sometimes “harsh” is necessary. 🙂

So my friendly free advice for you today is to “Just Move On” and continue to Make it GREAT! 🙂

As a kid growing up in a Southern Pentecostal Church in Texas I remember one of the church-members named Sister Carter used to always sing the lyrics of a song that had the words, “Give me my flowers while I can see them so that I can see and smell the beauty that they bring”. As a young kid I would always get a chuckle out of hearing her sing that song. 🙂

Now as an adult I often reflect back to that time with fond memories and after thinking about it a bit, I now see an even deeper meaning and metaphor behind the words of that song and I would like to share my thought with you today.

While it is true that when we’re dead and gone we can never enjoy the beauty and the fragrance of the flowers in this world that our friends and family leave for us at our graveside, so too is it true that we can never know what positive thing(s) or influence we had on someone else in this life unless that person(s) takes the time to tell us how much they appreciate us.

To that end, I feel so incredibly fortunate to be a person that receives such flowers of approbation and appreciation on a regular basis from many people I’ve had the privilege of serving in some way, shape or form in this life. Nothing makes me smile bigger than knowing that something I did, wrote or said to someone had a positive impact on them.

So I invite you today to consider giving others their flowers of thanks, gratitude and recognition while they can see, hear and experience it here in this life because once we’re gone, we’re gone……

Now go Make it GREAT!
