Doesn’t it seem like we just have more and more to do and we can never get it all done?  I swear, there are days I feel like this person!

Here’s a great, short quote from a recent book that might help lighten your load!

Tony Dungy’s Playbook: Do Less But Do It Better

Inside Tony Dungy’s head, the words of his former coach Chuck Noll still echo. “When you’re not successful, when you’re struggling or having problems, do LESS, don’t do MORE.”

It seemed contrary to Dungy’s instinct to work longer hours and take on more projects to be successful, but this was an important reminder for the former Indianapolis Colts head coach to focus on the basics. “Whenever we weren’t playing well at the Steelers, he always looked at cutting back so we could concentrate on the basics, on the fundamentals,” contributing editor Don Yaeger wrote. “Your human nature tells you that you have to look at one more film, add one new play. But that’s not the answer. Just doing what we do a little bit better is the answer.”

From his autobiography, Quiet Strength (Tyndale House Publishers, 2007) Dungy shares his game plan for life:

• Have hope for here and hereafter. “When a game ends, win or lose, it’s time to prepare for the next one.”

• It’s the journey that matters. “Learning is more important than the test.”

• Use faith to encourage and lift people up. “It’s about the lives we touch, the legacy we can leave, and the world we can change for the better.”

My mission for 2011 is Efficient Execution.  No, I’m not executing people, I’m executing my business plan.  If you want to see how my team and myself are doing more with less, subscribe to my newsletter!

I have to admit that when I first started using Facebook for my different businesses, I didn’t get it at all.  I completely defied what I had been using Facebook for in my personal life, and although I made a lot of connections, I don’t think I was able to use it to it’s maximum efficiency.

You see…I was thinking only about me and being selfish!

I was trying to create a message to tell the world when what I should have been doing was making connections and listening to other people.  In this interview, social media expert Mari Smith talks about the RIGHT way to do social media, especially Facebook.

This is an intro to Mari…

Here is her amazing interview from Success Magazine.  Listen and you shall reap the benefits of many happy relationships in your social media campaigns!





Let’s face it, if we aren’t in business to create long term, value added relationships, we should probably find something else to do.  The greatest benefit I have ever gotten from any of the businesses I have run is the long term relationships I have created.  Take all the money, the things, and the success, I will take the relationships any day of the week!

I don’t care what you do for a living, where you live, where you grew up or who YOU think you are.  You are a leader!  I was very moved today to hear this interview with leadership expert and mentor John C. Maxwell.  If you haven’t heard of Mr. Maxwell, I suggest you Google him as soon as you’ve heard this interview.  He is a New York Times best selling author, and one of the world’s most renowned experts in the field of leadership.

I think you will gain great value from his interview with Darren Hardy.

This interview may change many of your perceptions about what you thought leadership was and is.



I hope you gained some value out of that interview. The truth is, leaders are not born, they are made. Life is a series of choices, and you can change any outcome you want by simply making decisions today. My goal and the goal of my team is to HELP you grow and succeed.

Back when I was an instructor for the airline, I used to tell my students, “I’ll bring a wonderful dinner, a beautiful table setting, heck, I’ll even bring a great bottle of wine.  But you have to bring an appetite”.  I work tirelessly to find ways to help people succeed, but they have to want to succeed first.
