I’m a big fan of the Golden Rule. I dream of what a world might look like if we really did unto others as we’d have done unto ourselves. Honestly, even though I dream about it… I have a hard time imagining what it might actually look like. It certainly wouldn’t look like it does [...]

How often should I post to my blog?
Is daily too much?
What about once a week, is that enough?
If I post too frequently, won’t I upset people?

Have you ever noticed that a conductor in a symphony doesn’t play an instrument during the performance? Sure, he (or she) may very well be able to play or even be extremely talented in playing but that’s not his primary role. His is to conduct, to develop and lead the other musicians towards creating the [...]

So you have an idea, a book concept, a product, or a vision that you feel compelled to share with the world. But herein lies the problem… simply having the idea, product or vision alone won’t get you very far.
