Self Confidence
Nobody knows what you've been up to, whether you can be trusted, or what your abilities are better than you. Other people figure that you know you best, and if YOU aren't confident in yourself, then why should they be? Prepare, do things you are proud of, and maintain your…
Urgency and Deadlines = Productivity
If a flood was coming, you get the sandbag wall built NOW. If you're having a party tomorrow night, you get the house clean NOW. If the paper is due tomorrow, you get it done NOW. It's amazing what you can get done when you HAVE to. But the…
Leadership begins with you
If people see that you can't manage your own affairs, you can't put clean trouble free days together, have bad habits, and don't take care of yourself, then why would they follow you, give you more responsibility, or give you a leadership position? Lead yourself first.
Me first – it’s okay
The world can't be a happy place unless you are happy. Take care of yourself first. Go ahead. It's ok.

Who are my mentors?
I get this question often. I never went to college - so whom did I learn from? While there are hundreds or thousands of authors I've listened to or read, let me tell you some of my favorites so you can get their work, too. Jim Rohn and Earl Nightingale…
Rolling toward your goals
I lived 21 minutes from my office for ten years. Then we moved and I still lived 21 minutes away in the other direction. I listen to audiobooks in my vehicle all the time. It's time that I'm alone, uninterrupted, where I can absorb the words of others. Twenty-one minutes…

I agree with you. But our society would be so much better if friends, co-workers, spouses and siblings took more time to lift each other up, resulting in stronger confidence for everyone.
I have a son who is a freshman in High School. I share Think Daily messages with him on a regular basis. I think they need to be shared with all of his teachers.
The other day, I left some instructions to one of my good friends at work with a note of my intention to help him with anything that he needs help with and his happiness was palpable in the air and it filled my heart with warmth.
It surprised me that he didn’t know that it was part of my responsability as a team member and that I am more than happy to do it.
But thinking a little more about it, I think it was the clear explanations of what I did in the past that worked for me and I shared with him that made him smile. People nowadays do not like to teach coworkers because they see a rival in them.
