Your premium brand had better be delivering something special or it’s not going to get the business. Warren Buffett.

Building a successful business takes imagination and hard work. There are always challenges, of course, and competitors snapping at your heels.

In today’s business environment just having a new app or a good idea isn’t enough.

Creating a company or a brand is like creating a reputation for a person. You must earn it. By doing the right things well, rather than following the crowd and doing things right. Day after day, after day, after day.

In our ever-changing society, authenticity is a key component of a successful marketing strategy.

The most powerful and enduring brands are built from the heart. They are real and sustainable.

Their foundations are stronger because they are built not only with a slick ad campaign but with the strength of the human spirit.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

He who divides and shares is left with the best share. Mexican Proverb.

What is time if we don’t share it?

What is passion if we don’t share it?

What is experience if we don’t share it?

What is knowledge if we don’t share it?

What is love if we don’t share it?

What, indeed?

Hmmm… something to think about in these difficult times.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

I hope to see you back here soon.

I can’t go back to who I was because I am a different person now. Lewis Carroll. 

There comes a point for many of us when events or circumstances give us pause. Intuitively, we sense that it is time to rethink what we’re doing; more importantly why.

We find ourselves at a pivotable point when we can feel a hand on our shoulder and we hear ourselves asking, “Have I got my life right? Could there be more?”

Have you ever been in that situation? I have. I know how challenging that can be.

You are not who you were when you first started out. None of us are.

Subject to the shifting currents, as we make our way through life, we all pass through a number of phases. It is part of the continual growing and learning process. Sometimes it can be a terrifying because it portends change, and change is always scary. But there it is. Staring you in the face.

Not changing, staying longer than necessary is not a good thing. If you  insist on staying past what is the right time you can become dispirited, uninteresting and lose the happiness and meaning of the other stages you have to go through.

Sometimes it is hard, but you can’t write a new chapter in your life until the old one is ended.

Shutting the door behind you, closing cycles, ending chapters – whatever name you give it – is to leave in the past those moments of life that have finished, whatever they are and make the choice to move on.

The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it’s really a different kind of life. Buckmaster Fuller.

If you could do anything you wanted to do everyday, what would it be? If money, time, health or relationships and anything else were not an issue, how would you spend your time, and with whom?

These are big questions that will take some time to answer, because we all have become accustomed to doing what we have to, instead of what we want to, and have constructed our lives accordingly; but we are in different times now. The pandemic has forced all of us to step back and examine our lives.

So here’s the thing: We all only get one life. Is your current plan the right one? What would it take to create the kind of life you really want to create for yourself?

Hmmm..

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

The here and now is all we have and if we play it right, it’s all we need. Ann Richards.

In the game of life, the most important moment is the present moment.

Many of us live out our lives with one eye on the past, a past that’s already gone – and the other on the future, that’s not here yet. Choosing to live in the past or in the future steals your todays and robs you of living to the fullest.

Live forward. Never Look back.

Nobody knows how things will turn out. Give each day your best shot. When you have gone as far as you can go, you’ll know what to do next.

It’s not whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.  

I hope to see you here again soon.
