They envision the track and feel themselves crossing that finish line. They taste the dirt as they slide into home. They smell the grass as they score the winning goal. They feel the weight of the medal around their neck, imagining just where they're going to hang it once they get home. Scientists also use visualization to help

What has happened to the American dream? When I look around I get sick. Sick of the attitudes most people fill their minds with. Sick of where this country is headed. Sick of the lack of faith.

Your creativity is an awesome tool. It can allow you approach your business in a unique way that's energy-revving. At times, though, your creativity can lead you astray and really drain you.

How’s that for a catchy title that may not project the “image” I hope to portray? Frankly, I am tired of projecting images. That’s what actors and actresses do—projecting someone else’s life.

Many entrepreneurs cringe when they hear, ‘elevator speech’. I admit, it’s not a term I like either. ‘Elevator pitch’ is even more cringe-worthy. The reasons go deep.

Every time I would hear that to be successful in business, "you have to have a vision" I felt like I was missing something.
