Practical Marketing Tip: The Consumer Rules! It’s basic Marketing 101. Why do more and more corporations feel the need to push a social agenda on us? Not picking on Bud Light here; they’re just the latest to screw up. We don’t care about your social agenda… just make great ads…
Constructive Criticism AKA We Can Agree To Disagree is just what it implies. Rather than block other views out of hand, why not listen to what the other person’s trying to say. Hard to do at times, but if we agree to disagree we might gain knowledge or at least…
Cancel Culture: Cancel It! Those who want “inclusion” are actually trying to accomplish just the opposite… “exclusion”. Knock it off already; sure there’s stuff we need to be aware of and avoid, but Dr Seuss? Harry Potter? Really? What’s next? Just say no. Love all y’all!
This too shall pass. When things seem overwhelming, take a deep breath, step back, and realize that it’s going to be ok. Let it ride; this too shall pass. Love all y’all.
Constructive Controversy AKA We Can Agree To Disagree is just what it implies. Rather than block other views out of hand, why not listen to what the other person's trying to say. Hard to do a lot of times, but if we agree to disagree it may allow us to…
United we stand. The bad guys are trying to divide us but we are united and that’s our strength. Be kind to each other and keep love in your heart. United we stand. Yup!
A bad day does mean a bad life. Heck a bad day doesn’t even have to continue being a bad day! If you’re having a good one, great… if not close the door, get outside, catch your current sitch. Oh yeah, I love all y’all!
Compartmentalize. Hard to say, sometimes hard to do. When our minds start racing and multi-tasking goes bonkers on us... compartmentalize. One task at a time, one thought process at a time and get stuff done. Also remember to let it all go when you're relaxing, enjoying time with friends and…
A moment to breathe. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves, get rushed, get… well you know things just snowball. Here’s a little reminder to take a step back and breathe.
Positive Social Media can your day that much better! Weed out the garbage; the toxic people, negativity within Twitter, FaceBook, etc... and add/maintain the things that can make our day better and keep us on a positive, "can-do" path. Hey, we all go to our phones several times a day…
Get It Done Today... we all procrastinate but it's usually just a matter of getting started, amiright? Robert Griffin III (RGIII) is a great follow and always has positive messages - this is one of them. Hope you like, get it done, and... you know I love all y'all!
The Present is Perfect. Absolutely true. So many times we worry about the future or try to relive the past... today let's try to live in the now, and enjoy the present. Whatever you're doing or whoever you're with, make the most of it. Full podcast coming up and thanks…
The Law of Attraction is one of the 12 Universal Laws of the Universe. Full podcast on that to come, but wanted to focus on this one for a minute. It all comes back to "we are what we think about all day long". Good stuff (I think), so much…
Maybe raindrops are falling where you are, or maybe you're just a little gloomy. Do something useless and give your mind a break - shuffle papers, watch a movie... anything to break out of that funk. Works for me. Thanks and love all y'all!
The Four Agreements (A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom) is a wonderful short read by Don Miguel Ruiz. Your buddy Steve (Me!) breaks down each "agreement" and it's just another reminder for ourselves that life doesn't have to be complicated. We sometimes do it to ourselves (myself included of course).…
Everybody screws up. Fact of life and it's almost guaranteed I'll screw up immediately upon finishing this post. But it's fine. Really. Don't beat yourself up; put it in the rearview and let's roll. Too many good things ahead yall. Love you one and all and have a great day!
Choose to be happy today - or as Abe Lincoln (among others) is noted for this saying "Be as happy as you choose to be". Circumstances dictate our moods and emotions at times - and rightfully so - but if you're just in a crummy mood or silly stuff is…
Stop Doing Things You Don't Enjoy Doing! Why do we do things we think we "have to", or are "expected to"? Even worse, because we feel a "responsibility to". Easy to say, hard to do, but our main responsibility is to our own happiness. So there. Hey love all y'all!
