Mindset – Inner Game
A few years ago, I regularly posted āGratitude Snippetsā on Facebook. They were short posts. Expressions of appreciation for people and thingsā¦ …a beautiful dayā¦ …a restaurant server who went the extra mileā¦ …a mail carrier who braved snow and rain to make the deliveryā¦ …a song that brightened my mood… …a colleague who offered…
Roughly once a year, I read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a Holocaust survivor who later wrote about his experiences as a prisoner at the Auschwitz concentration camp. The book is heavy stuff, yes. But itās also full of huge lessons for business and life. These are strange days. Many call them ādark…
Last week, I had one of those days when nothing went right. It made me grumpy. And as I grumped around, I focused more on feeling sorry for myself and less on staying focused and productive. That made it worse. I got past it, but it made me think about how easy it is to…
60 Minutes presented an interview with Jerry Seinfeld on Sunday, and it was great. Hereās the link to the video. Seinfeld said so many funny, profound, and wise things. Iāve rewatched it three times.

A few months ago, my wife and I woke to a loud āthud.ā She thought the sound came from inside the houseā¦ …and, for her, that meant trouble. āWhat was that!?ā she asked, sounding a little frantic. We live in the city and crime is a thing so I donāt blame her for worrying. I…
A few years back, I met with a prospect about a massive project. The meeting went well. I remember thinking as the meeting moved along, āIām CRUSHING it.ā Before I left, they committed to hire me. I returned to the office, shared the news with my team, and slapped high fives all around. āWay to…
I love the scene in the Spiderman movie (the first one with Tobey Maguire) when Uncle Ben tells Peter, “With great power comes great responsibility.” That’s true for super heroes. That’s also true for marketers. I’m working on a revised and expanded version of a free resource I created a few years back called “7 Ways…
A few months ago, I asked my 21-year-old daughter to help me lug trash from the three barrels next to our house to the dumpster in the alley. She was home from college for a couple of weeks, and I thought she could pitch in. She shot me one of those looks that said, āDad,…
