• Think Outside the Bottom Line...For A Better Bottom Line by Joan Moran
  The success of running a lean and integrated business is about knowing who you are and empowering your employees to do the same.
• The Power of Hope. by Dan Waldschmidt
  A bigger budget isn’t the secret to getting faster business results. Neither is more attention.  More staff.  Or a better public relations angle. It takes hope. You have to believe in your plan, the people around you, and your potential to  do something amazing. Just because you have a strategy on paper doesn’t mean you are destined for greatness.  Just because you start executing that
• Caring More Doesn't Make You A Loser. by Dan Waldschmidt
  When it comes to sports we get it.  We understand perfectly how caring makes you a high performer. We understand that caring about the details and putting in outrageous amounts of effort catapults an average performer beyond  the guy who should be the easy winner.  The guy with more talent, more experience, more confidence. That guy loses to the performer who cares more. We see it in sp
• 27 Must-Have Tools to Help You Be More Successful Getting Things Done. by Dan Waldschmidt
  You shouldn’t wonder why you aren’t more successful if you haven’t mastered the art of getting things done.  And that’s not easy.  Being productive is one of the biggest struggles for all of us. From not knowing what to do to not knowing when to do it, it is all too easy to let the most important things not get done in a day. And that is crippling.  Because days turn into months and months t
• What Business Experts Don't Tell You. by Dan Waldschmidt
  It is easy to be confused by all the different strategies and tactics that the experts give us. We are told that a focus on search engine optimization positions us as the best company to be found in a crowded Internet. We are told that social media marketing is a must if we are going to scale our businesses for today’s online economy. We are told sales automation is the key to building r
• Un-Delaying the Inevitable. by Dan Waldschmidt
  It’s inevitable that life isn’t going to treat you fairly. It’s inevitable that you’re going to find someone who is better than you are. It’s inevitable that you’re going to try something and fail miserably. It’s inevitable that you’re going to love someone and end up getting hurt. It’s inevitable that some of those you call friends won’t have your back when you need it most. It’s i

• 10 Reasons Why Outrageous Customer Service Is All That Matters. by Dan Waldschmidt

• Gasoline–Is it Brutally High? by Sanford Kahn
  Nationally in the U. S., gasoline is averaging about $3.70 per gallon.  In California, though, it is $4.20 per gallon if not higher in some places.  So, compared to a year ago you can easily say that the price of fuel is definitely higher and eating more into your disposable income. But, let’s look at the real price of gasoline in current dollars on a longer term basis.  In the past 100 yea
• Defying Business Gravity by Dan Waldschmidt
  We’re told that what goes up must down. That irregardless of velocity or effort or raw human courage, we are bound by the constraints of science.  We are held captive by the laws of humanity. There is only so much within our control.  And so we live with contingency, assuming that gravity will pull us back down to reality. We expect that revenue growth is just temporary.  That despite our be
• 11 Game-Changing Companies Who (Successfully) Broke the Rules. by Dan Waldschmidt
  There are rules and guidelines that limit what is possible to achieve.  Rules that we all somehow agree to. Rules about the cost of doing business. About profit, loss, and reinvestment.  Rules about possibilities. Rules dictated by shear elemental constraint. The rules set the limits. Science dictates certain rules.  Math and economics decide other rules. And if we told that if we watc
• Career Balance by Jane Ohenhen
  Many professionals become frustrated in their chosen career due to lack of career balance in both their career and private life. When someone choose to get married or plan a vacation for instance, they never consider job deadlines or career issues that include long hours at work. Thus balancing life style with family or other extra curriculum activities become so stressful that the end results are
• What is the Eternal Truth of the Universe by Sanford Kahn
  What a question and I am no religious figure by any means.  I will try to answer this question from an economic perspective, but this can be transferred into other human endeavors. The eternal truth of the universe is—that all actions provoke reactions. In human terms these reactions or consequences may be positive or negative. Someone or something has to pay a price or cost. There is no s
• 12 Ways to Beat Your Critics. by Dan Waldschmidt
  Everybody has an opinion. Sometimes you wish other people kept their opinion to themselves. Criticism hurts. No matter how thick a skin you have, it’s hard not to get worn down by other people’s negative opinions. You can spend weeks, months, even years being the best at what you do and it all seems to fall apart when that one person misjudges your priorities and mocks your intentions.
• Ending the Conversation. by Dan Waldschmidt
  You can end the conversation anytime you want. It’s your decision. You can let everyone around you know that your critics are wrong, unhappy customers just don’t “get it” and that your advisors don’t understand. All you have to do is turn around and walk away. You can end the conversation anytime you want to. Or can you? The conversation isn’t really over. In reality, the convers
• The Difference Love Makes. by Dan Waldschmidt
  A deaf and blind Helen Keller made the ironically insightful observation that: “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” Which somehow we inherently know. We know the difference love makes. Michael was born in one of the poorest parts of Memphis, Tennessee.  One of thirteen children.  His mother Denise was a crack c
• The 5 Ways Real Economic WEALTH is Created by Sanford Kahn
  How is wealth created in any society? You talk to a thousand economists and you will get a thousand different answers. The question I ask is all-encompassing in that it pertains to all societies in any time frame--whether 2,000 years ago, today, or 2,000 years in the future. There are only FIVE generators of wealth in any society. These five are: 1. Fishing 2. Mining 3 Agriculture

• Why Trying Hard Doesn't Work. by Dan Waldschmidt
  Time and time again studies show that hard work is a significant differentiator between those who accumulate wealth and those who don’t. It’s the simplest of ideas in theory. But it poses significant challenges when put into effect. When you have to try it. Hard work starts with you trying. Trying something new. Trying something in a different way.  Trying what hasn’t been done before.
• Changing a Sophisticrappy Business Cycle by Giving More. by Dan Waldschmidt
  Business strategy is any evolving science. The last thousand years of studied commercial history show a cyclical nuance that usually follows the path of reinvention, risk-taking, and reversion. As entrepreneurs expand on new ideas, old business methodologies get reinvented.  For a period of time this reinvention creates new economic opportunities and increases profitability and prospective g
