5 Qualities of Great Teams
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I like this statement. And if it holds true in basketball, it should also hold true in life. In fact, We could almost think of each finger as a separate component of or person on the team. Do you have each of those 5 people accounted for on your “team,” and […]
Lean On Me
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Today’s words find their origins in Bill Withers’ 1972 single, “Lean on Me.”
Live Like A Tiger
The anchors of The GREAT Life are GRATITUDE and TEAM-FIRST (or selflessness). Both require the maintenance of an attitude that is not only positive, but bigger than the moment. That’s why it’s possible to be grateful for the situation that seems to be less than favorable.

Going Stress Free
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Happy Monday! Stress is a choice.

Take The Extra Step
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! The Two Rules of Perseverance Rule #1: Take one more step. Rule #2: When you don’t think you can take one more step, refer to Rule #1. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. There’s nobody I know that has never once needed a kick in the pants. Sometimes that kick is […]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Happy Monday! Wake up today! Wake up from the dream that there’s not enough time in your day.
