  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

The Power of Follow Up - FREE Teleseminar

FREE Teleseminar - October 30th * 12:00-12:45 noon
The Secret to Wealth & Success Is In the Power of Follow Up!

If you had followed up on many of the ideas and tasks that you thought about within the year, but didn't - do you feel you would be in a better position today?

 When I ask this question to most business owners they say a resounding YES, I would definitely be in a better place.   However, when I ask them why they chose not to follow up they really can't answer that question.

 The truth is that the art of follow up really has more to do with your focus skills than anything else.  Oftentimes, I find that most people have great ideas, however they can't stay focused on any one idea long enough to see it through.  They allow the immediate need for income to drive their choices and decisions, instead of making decisions that will drive their income.

 I would like to invite you to a powerful teleseminar entitled, "The Power of Focus".  This seminar will give you a new outlook and attitude on following up with your clients, ideas you might have and provide powerful system that will increase your productivity 3-fold!
