Things that are not improved by being made “instant”:

Maybe getting “laid off” is not a tragedy. Maybe it's a signal. A signal that now is finally the time to do something about that “great idea” you have. A signal to go ahead and do what you love and find out if the money really will follow. A signal to dare to attempt something great.

Creativity doesn’t usually occur while you’re screen-sucking.

Try this as a stress-reduction technique: only one thing on your to-do list each day.

I can’t help but notice how some have seized on the anniversary of the events of 9/11/2001 to further their own agendas, stir up anger and fear, and — to my dismay — even to sell products.

There are people who think you and I should have the right to own a Bazooka, or a machine gun, or a tank.

What's the #1 business fantasy?

Some of the most successful people I know don't have an e-mail account. I don't mean that they don't have a public e-mail account-I mean they don't have one at all.

In the past, I have scoffed at the idea of affirmations. You know, “I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me.” That sort of thing.

I'm not usually a fan of “what if” questions. That's because most of the time, those words (“what if…”) usually precede negative prophecy about something. Negative prophecies like, “What if nobody comes to our new store? What if nobody likes the new product? What if none of our salespeople makes a sale today?” Those are probably not productive questions that will put you in a resourceful state conducive to getting things done.

I ordered a sandwich this past week at McDonald's, from the drive-through window.

I work from an office outside my home. I shuttle relevant working materials back and forth (between home and office) in a small backpack.
