A Lesson From The Toughest Man Alive
I came across a quote from one of my favorite authors and speakers this morning that hit me right between the eyes. “Nobody cares what you did yesterday.

AI Won’t Kill Your Business; You Will
AI won’t kill your business, you will. Now, I could substitute the words growth, health, relationships, or literally countless other concepts in for the word business. But today’s post was inspired in the business world, so I’m going to keep it there. Some people are afraid of AI. I’m not. I enjoy AI. I find…

Focus on the Cause, Not the Effect
There’s something I’ve been chewing on a lot lately. If you’ve talked with me recently, you’ve probably heard it come up. We judge ourselves by the effect, not the cause. It shows up everywhere.

Getting Ahead
February 28, 2024 Years ago a real estate mentor of mine, Condo, gave me some great advice. He said that everything costs either time, money, or energy, so be careful of how much of each you spend. It was sage advice. The older I get, the more I see what Condo meant. We tend to…

Good Leadership Brings Stability & Peace; Misdirection Creates Mistrust
February 27, 2024 It’s been a day of reflection for me. In years past, I would be at our Keller Williams national conference, hearing from powerhouse speakers and enjoying time with colleagues.
