Make $500,000 in one weekend impossible?

This weekend, I’ve been on e-mail with a friend who’s struggling to have a breakthrough at work and I told him this story which I just had to share with you. It’s how I made $500,000 in one weekend back in 1988. it was Victoria Weekend, May 21, 22 and 23. I started my first […]

Juggling and Time Management

I was talking to someone recently who was overwhelmed with too many things on his plate and I told him something that I thought was worth repeating here… Juggling 10 balls and dropping 6 is not like juggling 4 balls. First of all it’s a lot harder and you don’t look very good dropping the […]

New Year’s Resolutions And Your Reticular Activation System

Many people try to do New Year’s Resolutions, but very few actually achieve them. Today’s posts explains part of the reason that happens or should I say doesn’t happen – you Reticular Activation System (RAS)… First and foremost, you need to WRITE your new year’s resolutions down on paper.

Even Superman has Kryptonite!

Today’s match was disappointing – the best way to put it is even Superman has Kryptonite… I played an ‘unorthodox’ player today who wasn’t better than me technically, but came up with the non-tradition shots that I couldn’t respond to due to lack of match experience. This was the one thing I couldn’t avoid this […]

Where you stack up NOW makes a difference LATER

Today was one of those surreal experiences – we’ve all had them. Kind of like a time warp. One minute, I’m fine tuning our Marketing Autopsy that allows people to self-diagnose where they’re at with their marketing and the next minute I’m on the court, playing at the World Masters Squash Championships… Weird. Today’s lessons […]
