  • Entrepreneurs’ Table Part 3 – Attitude

    The A in TABLE is for attitude. Attitude determines altitude. You will fly no higher than your attitude determines. It is more important than aptitude because it is the arena of choice where you decide which opportunities to embrace, which to shun, and which to postpone. I take the OH GOSH approach to attitude.

    A number of days ago, I wrote an entry criticizing the President for asking us to trust the government to always act in our best interests without checks, balances, and  oversight.  It wasn't about him – but IT, the government. It was a philosophical and constitutional concern. The context was the ballyhoo over the private…

Life change is a hopeful message since so many of us feel that we are stuck in our ruts. Here is a sample. You can download the rest Download…

  • Absent Mindedness and Present Trouble

    The call came just as I was ready to start my class last night. My question upon hearing the subject matter was typically male and blatantly insensitive: "Why are you calling me just before Bible Study to tell me this?" You will be able to guess the answer in a moment, but I wil tell…
