As you know, I’ve been working like a mad man on my personal brand over the last year, and even more diligently over the last 6 months.  And last week, I made another leap and it is already paying off.
Here’s the story…

I own a personal training studio in Madison, WI.  If you follow me, you [...]

Toyota’s in big trouble – no doubt about it! I read an article in The New York Times over the weekend that went into detail about why they’re in so much trouble and what they will need to do about it.
The first paragraph of the article said it all…
“A Japanese leader (Toyota) in the [...]

I had an employee barge into my studio this past Tuesday morning and quit.  He walked right in, placed some training materials and his key on my reception desk and said, “I’m done.”  “That’s it?”  I said.  “You have clients in your schedule this evening.”  “Did you get my email?”  He asked.  As if this [...]

Over the last 6 years in running my own business there is one simple truth that is clear today. Like a full moon in the dead of a cold winter night. You can hire employees, coaches, trainers, vendors, and form a board of advisers. There is literally no end to the list [...]

Today, “Being good at stuff” meant having an
efficient pland and a set of tools available to
meet the demands of clearing 18 inches of snow

way to avoid the work.  Not something I recommend
on your long Thanksgiving weekend but when you
have to get it done, well…

I actually drafted this blog post late on Monday night…
It’s time for bed and I have a very busy day with clients
all day tomorrow. So, I’m just taking a quick moment
to let you know about a great new program I’m offering
