If you are lucky enough to still have a job or business, has the manner in which you work changed during the pandemic? You likely are working remotely, as are many of your co-workers, friends and family, including many who haven’t done so before. When you think about this, it’s pretty amazing how fast companies adapted to be able to have most, if not th...

You probably saw the title and thought “what is he writing about?” It could about the great Talking Heads song of the same name, but it’s not. It’s about living in circumstances that changed on a dime forcing most to work from home, and many to lose their livelihood. It obviously isn’t the equivalent of really being a soldier at war, b...

Exercise is so important. It’s not to sport a six pack of abs or Popeye like biceps, but to give your body something it needs. Exercise benefits your body and your brain. To quote the Rolling Stones, “you gotta move.” When you are healthy, movement helps your body to be healthier (this is easy to Google and see why). Movement helps your body physi...

We are in unprecedented times. The limits on society are changing daily as the world tries to slow the spread of Covid-19, the Coronavirus. People are hoarding certain foods and toilet paper. Videos of people fighting over the last package of toilet paper in a store have been posted on social media. Many people are out for themselves and ignoring the negative effec...

Whether in your personal or professional life, this seems obvious if you think about it. Relationships make life interesting. They can lift you up, but can drag you down (if you let them). You want to invest in healthy relationships that make you a better person, business owner, attorney, or whatever it is you are. You have choices. You don’t have to have an ...

When the road to a goal you made becomes difficult, do you push through to finish or throw in the towel? Ideas matter, but execution is everything. If you can’t execute, you won’t finish what you start. I have written about goal setting and the use of SMART goals before. If you do this it will help you create a roadmap to your goal. It is important to t...

No matter the level of your success, there are others around both better or worse off than you are. As you work hard and improve your position, you should think about others and how to lift up your community. Improving your position may be financial, or it may mean you have more control over your time. Either allows you options to make a difference and give back. T...

Intention figures into everything you do. Intention is your aim or plan. If you approach something with no intention it will be more difficult to complete your plan or reach your goal. Intention can relate to long- term or short-term plans. In my legal practice, my intention is to do quality work on my clients’ behalf and help them achieve their goals. To do ...

As an attorney, I don’t necessarily think of myself as creative or an artist. Despite this, I have to be creative during negotiations for clients or in coming up with legal arguments. No matter what type of business you work in or manage, being creative is a benefit. You can work like people have for years or try to be creative, think outside the box, and do ...

These days the world is divided and people are either with you or against you. This is bad in so many ways. On the news today I heard a reporter say that it is a negative that so many people live in their own “digital citadels of confirming information.” He, of course, was mainly referring to politics. I think it’s more than that. And it speaks to...
