This is my favorite place. Seminarland! I love the energy of a live event. If we are to make our dreams come true, we start with imagining what it is that we really, really want. Seminarland is a great place to do that. Leave the shop and the day-to-day behind. Spend time with like-minded people [...]
How about if you just...don't. You don't go to the party. You don't send the greetings cards. You don't carry on a tradition. What if, when it feels like a chore, you just...don't. What if, instead, you smiled a little more? What if you gave a few compliments? What if you found lots of [...]
The Decided Redhead! Jean Ziglar Somewhere in the 1990s I attended a Peter Lowe Success Seminar. It was a long lineup of world class speakers, including Colin Powell, Larry King and Barbara Bush.

Egads! How can we be halfway into October already? The holidays will be here in about 15 minutes. And, gulp, you are looking down the barrel of the dreaded Holiday Bonus. Have you struggled with what to do to celebrate your team at year end? Well, you may muddle through it this year. [...]
This ONE Page Report Saved My Marriage. When we started in business together, money was tight. Really tight. And the debt piled up like dirty laundry in a large family. When I would say to my husband, Hotrod, "We don't have enough money!" he would hear, "You're not good enough. You're not [...]

I love sharing the best of what I have learned in my long life and career. Mostly, I speak about simple financial systems and UN-complicated business planning. However, in most of my presentations, the conversation settles on employees. You need some help if you are going to clean up your financials, set up great scorekeeping [...]
If you can't say something nice.... Well, you can say something nice. You can edit your thoughts before they take flight. You can also say nothing at all. Or you can think nothing at all.
