Setting Goals

It’s Leap Day, that once-every-four-years event that leads people to say things like “You have a whole extra day, how do you plan to use it?” Sounds nice, but wouldn’t you rather get a little time every day, for the rest of your life, than a random added day every four years (a day that, [...]

I first read See You at the Top (Zig Ziglar’s classic first book) over Christmas one year during college. I had heard of Zig, and checked out the book from the library. I took pages of notes since I couldn’t write in the book. I still have the notes. Soon after, I started listening to Zig’s [...]

This week’s Resource Recommendation is Born to Win by Zig Ziglar and Tom Ziglar. Let me start by saying I am a 100% Zig Ziglar fan, so by definition, this review will be biased. I’ve read much of Zig’s writing throughout my professional life, listened to him speak, both live and on tapes (yes, cassette tapes) [...]

I didn’t remember who Harry Browne was, or that he ran for U.S. President as the Libertarian candidate in both 1996 and 2000.   When I read his quotation though, I knew I wanted to share it with you.  I hope you choose to read on . . .   “You don’t have to buy [...]

Living in Indianapolis, and being a sports fan, makes it easy to like Mario Andretti.  Mario won one Indianapolis 500 (in 1967) and came close to winning several others.  Mario won many accolades in his racing career, including being named by the Associated Press as the Racer of the Century in 2000. In other words, [...]

Today’s Resource Recommendation is Doing the Impossible: The 25 Laws for Doing the Impossible by Patrick Bet-David. I’m not exactly sure how this book ended up in my Amazon shopping cart and then in a box on my desk. I don’t know nor had never heard of the author and don’t remember someone referring it [...]

The Root Source of Discipline

by Kevin Eikenberry on January 13, 2012

in Achievement,Learning,Quotations,Responsibility

I believe you can have mentors that don’t even know you – people whom you watch, observe, and model for your own growth and development. The ultimate extension of that is that you can have mentors that aren’t even living! Today’s Powerquote comes from one of my mentors. “Self-respect is the root of discipline; the [...]

Everyone reading these words has a place where they work. And most of you have a place where you work best. The goal of this article is to help you make sure those places are the same. As a business owner, I have more degrees of freedom to consciously create a space that works for [...]

Achievement vs. Success

by Kevin Eikenberry on December 30, 2011

in Leadership,Learning,Quotations,Success

Helen Hayes is best known as a legendary actress. Today’s quotation shows her to be more than a talented pretty face, but someone who was wise, at least in part, because she listened to her mother (which I’ve generally found to be pretty good advice, in itself). “My mother drew a distinction between achievement and [...]
