Last week, I was asked to speak about success to a group of mostly 20-30 year olds. They belong to JCI Wonderful Copenhagen, a chapter of the worldwide JCI organization. I’d never been to Denmark, and I love young people (not as crabby and cynical as old farts.) And I was inspired by the mission of [...]

Wow. It is the 10th annual A.G.E. Business Planning Retreat. Al Levi, Gail Gudell and I have met every year since 2004 to review our respective business plans. It’s our time to reflect and recommit to our highest intentions. This year we met at Al’s place in Scottsdale, [...]
