Aim High
I recently watched an old movie one early Saturday morning and instantly saw parallels to management and leadership. The name of the movie was 12 O’clock High with Gregory Peck (1949).

No Excuses
In the movie Freedom Writers, there is this quote, "I don't want excuses. I know what you're up against. We're all up against something." Braveheart said, "If it's worth it, fight for it."

What was the restaurant like? Fancy or hole in the wall? We consider lobster to be “special”, expensive, fancy. Therefore I bet most of... Continue Reading →

The times they are a changin’ … I’ve been in sales my entire professional career and for the most part, sales was sales.

Why would you pay $60 for laundry detergent?
I don’t know about you but I love to work out and so does my husband, but we don’t want to smell like we are always sweating. I wash my clothes but they still have that “not so clean” odor, you know the frustration when you have washed them several times and still can’t get... Continue Reading →
