15 years ago today I ran all 26.2 miles of the New York City marathon. Sunday, November 5th 2000. One year later, the race would be held in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks. What a different world I ran my marathon in. I don't recall how or why I...

The Cure for Frustration
We in Shaklee can be very, very arrogant. Seriously. No joke. We can also be very big-hearted, which is often how we rationalize the arrogance. After all, we are only trying to help, right? Now before everyone gets all indignant, let’s consider the definition of...

What I do involves a lot of helping people surmount obstacles, usually in the form of handling objections. The most prevalent objection we, as mentors, get asked about is how to respond to the problem of “no money.” The answer is always the same. Money (or time, or...
“Motivation, schmotivation. Find the hot spot!”
During master classes with the infamous acting teacher, Stella Adler would shout these pragmatic directions at us as we attempted to work a scene. In theatrical terms, this means finding where the light is brightest so you can best be seen. (She was also known to...
Recipe for Effortless Results: Intend, Prepare & Let It Go
In June, I had the thrill of a lifetime. I officiated the wedding of a couple I love dearly, having been the bride’s nanny since she was four. I was humbled beyond words when she and her fiancée asked me to take such a place of honor on their day. (I applied for a...
