Empower Your Marketing Operations

In October, the honor of leading our marketing team was bestowed upon me. I have no formal marketing training, (no I don’t count the Bachelors of Business Administration – Mktg Major from 20 years ago) and not much in the way of design and mass communication skills. Wholly unqualified in a traditional evaluation, I brought […]

The Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal

So much of success comes from setting goals for yourself – that’s nothing new. You write your goals down, make them SMART, share them, remind yourself what your goals are and which ones you’ve accomplished… but in navigating that “goal wilderness” there’s an audacious monster of a goal that you should not neglect: your BHAG […]

You’re Terrible at Achieving Goals (And Why That’s Okay)

It’s a new year. 2018. You’re filled with new hope for new beginnings, ready to tackle a brand-new set of goals. Then suddenly, a brick wall. You dust off and review your 2017 goals: Lose 15 lbs. Unfortunately, you gained five. Read 12 books. But you only made it to two. Learn Spanish? Man, […]

Begin with the End

At this point, I have met just about everyone around the office. And at first glance, I imagine my coworkers saying to themselves, “Hey, that hunky new guy seems to have it all figured out.” Well, I want to come clean. The path hasn’t always seemed this clear. Obstacles exist, whether they are in the […]

Failure's Place in Goal Logic

I’m a competitive guy and we have a highly competitive culture here. The Reman Wingman and Transmission Control still play soccer at a high level. The Remaniac and the King of Core & More have a push up challenge going for who brings on more new customers. The Trans Detective coaches high school soccer for […]

Defining Success is Defining Yourself

Recently, I was asked about my definition of success. I’ll be honest, it caught me off guard. Not because of who or how it was asked, but because I’d never really thought about it. What is success? At 29, I’m just now getting the hang of being an adult. I have a stable job, an […]

New Year's Resolutions Don't Work Because You Aren't Willing To

// // // I’m tired of listening to people complain that, “New Year’s resolutions don’t work.” New Year’s resolutions work just fine – if you do the hard work necessary to make them work. There’s a difference between a wish and a resolution, but I think most people forget this fact. Most people create a list […]
