Originally published January 29, 2017 This past week I challenged myself to be more productive during the work week by cutting my biggest time-wasting vice: mindless entertainment via Netflix. It’s not the first time, either. Years ago, when I was studying at the community college, I had successfully avoided movies and other after-work nonsense long…

Originally published December 2, 2016 To hear me encourage others to explore their talents and maximize their potential, you’d think that I’d be publishing new blog posts three or four times a week, that my portfolio would have up-to-the-minute samples of my best work, that I’d even be creating enough art to have up-to-the-minute samples…

Originally published January 25, 2015 There’s a lot of truth in birds flocking together because of their feathers and in others knowing you by the company you keep. And the more passionate you are about your goals and plans, the more important it is to know enough about yourself to determine the kinds of people…

Originally published January 18, 2016 I rarely share my personal goals because I’m far more used to helping people set business, professional, and career goals. For the record, I do actually have a life outside of work and business (I’m lying, of course), so here are a few personal objectives I’ve set for myself in…
