“How is this even freakin possible?” the voice inside my head moaned as I faced a challenge in my business. “I’ve already done this.” What had I already done?

Here’s what I share with entrepreneurs all the time: (And with my inner teen-ager.) Your business is about YOU. Your s

I Don’t Believe In The Terrible Two’s I read somewhere – my apologies to the author, I don’t remember where I saw this – that our culture is mostly intrigued by negative writing, stories and media. Pay close attention for 5 minutes to any news item or the general language people use (everyday phrases such as “shoot me an email”) and you’ll find this thread of negativity almost everywhere.

"The major difference between the most and least successful executives is the latter's lack of awareness. Successful executives are critical of their own performance. Unsuccessful executives are critical of the performance of others." — Harry Levinson, The Exceptional Executive At our youngest daughter's sixth birthday party, five-year-old Ryan hit her on the head. As Vanessa cried hysterically, I asked him to apologize. He politely refused. When I asked him why, he replied, "Mr. Clemmer, I don't apologize unless I see teeth marks or blood."

I admit it. I'm frustrated. I'm tired of getting emails from people who write, "I can't do what you did because ---."rnJust fill in the blank with whatever excuse you can think of.

A man I spoke to today told me that he thinks men are making way for women in the business world. Maybe - but mostly in a masculine way, which means simply that there is less active resistance. But women need more than a mute standing by the doorway - we need an invitation to come in, and speak out!

Many a times you don’t have control over the things. The weather, the postal service, or just plain bad luck brings you the disgrace. Sometimes employee disorganization or a method error leaves your customer’s support request unattended. Whatever the reasons and situations may be, the conclusion is this: to your customer, you are solely responsible for both the problem and a potential remedy. What measure do you take to go beyond satisfaction and delight the disappointed

"We found that there was a cause-and-effect relationship between the two; that it was impossible to maintain a loyal customer base without a base of loyal employees; and that the best employees prefer to work for companies that deliver the kind of superior value that builds customer loyalty... building loyalty has in fact become the acid test of leadership." — Frederick Reichheld, The Loyalty Effect and Loyalty Rules

I was standing in a line at the grocery store. The person in front of me was paying by check. At what I thought was the conclusion of the transaction, the cashier called the manager to her workspace.

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to be successful? Most people have a false belief of what success really is, and how you attain it. Some think it is the price tag of the car you drive, the size of the house you live in, the family you were born into, the school you attended, or just the mere perception you may have more than them.
