“When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’”

Success Quote on Attitude
October 31, 2022
A poor man asked the Buddha, “Why am I so poor?”
August 15, 2022
The Buddha said, “you do not learn to give.”
So the poor man said, “If I’m not having anything?”
Buddha said: “You have a few things,
The Face, which can give a smile;
Mouth, you can praise or comfort others;
The Heart, it can open up to others;
Eyes, who can look the other with the eyes of goodness;
Body, which can be used to help others.”
So, actually, we are not poor at all, poverty of spirit is the real poverty.
Working Together For A Happy Workplace
January 24, 2022
Where do you draw the line when it comes to the responsibility of providing workplace happiness? While there is much proof that productivity is higher in a workplace where everyone is happy, who is responsible for making it happen?
If a business owner is doing their part by providing a healthy, ethical, and safe environment, isn’t it then up to the employees whether or not they choose to be happy while they are there? These three bullet points above are essential for employers to provide if they want to even have a shot at having happy employees. If they are successful then employees need to make the choice, happy or not happy?
At times, it may be hard to figure out what we love about our job, but we should be able to find something we like and focus on that. If you work with the public, you must enjoy people…

Successful Communication
August 27, 2021
Good communicators know that just because something was said doesn’t mean it was heard. Great communicators know that even if it was heard it doesn’t mean it was understood.
Lack of communication can be deadly for an organization, most people realize that. What some people, and unfortunately some leaders, don’t understand is that miscommunication can be just as deadly. Wars, including world wars, have literally been caused by miscommunication.
One cause of miscommunication is an ill informed communicator. One thing I often tell people who want to be a better presenter is that if you know what you’re talking about there is no need to be nervous. I also tell them that if you don’t know what you’re talking about there is no need to be talking.
Even well informed communicators can sometimes miscommunicate. But the very best communicators don’t. They consistently apply the following four principles for successful communication.

Neat and Tidy, As Walt Always Said
August 9, 2021
No matter what type of job we have if the public sees us our appearance has influence on the company we work for.
It is human nature to make these types of judgments even when once they pop into our mind we try to discard them.
Our eyes are quick to transmit to our brain what they see and our brain is even faster to process the judgment before we can consciously say “No” to the thought.
It does seem unfair that our appearance carries such weight, but the fact is that it does.
Prior to Covid The Western Conference has been held at the Disneyland Hotel. Hopefully, next year we can resume an in person conference. When presenting at this professional conference I always pay close attention to all employees and how they appear and present to their guests.
All employees are clean and neat from Snow White to…

Looking To Get The Best From Your Employees?
August 2, 2021
If you are a business owner or manager and have people who work for you in your business you have probably ask yourself more than once, “How can I get the best out of my employees when they are at work?” I hear this question often when working or speaking with business owners.
All business owners would love to have employees that are naturally self-motivated, enjoy coming to work and want to do a fantastic job. There is one thing business owners must remember and that is employees feel and see things a bit differently than the owner of the business. Entrepreneurs are self-motivated by creating something from nothing, which is intrinsic motivation or internal motivation.
The employee, sees and feel things quite the opposite, they are usually motivated more by external stimuli or extrinsic motivation, such as a raise, job security, benefits, work relationship, trust, personal growth and serving…

Often, when I have conversations with people I will ask about their employment and how they like their job. I usually hear one of two things; “I love my job, or I hate my job.” There are times when I might hear, “My job is okay, I am glad I have one, but it is just a job.”
In 2017 a Gallup pollshowed that 70% of Americans were disengaged with their job. So that is why you will probably find more people with negative responses about their employment than a positive, and things have not changed much for the positive regarding this, especially since so many people are unemployed during this time of the Pandemic.
This is really a terrible thing, as people need to work to support themselves and their families, yet if they have a job, they most likely hate going to work each day. Frankly, I cannot…
