Change your business or it will die. Ouch. Thats a pretty dramatic statement, and it carries a serious truth. For your business to be sustainable, it has to change. Incrementally, as you adjust to small shifts like the changing needs of your customers for a new product or service. Significantly, when your customers and the larger world changes. More players may be moving into your market. Even business itself is changing. The profit economy is no longer the way forward, as even Fortune 500 companies fall by the wayside at a rapidly increasing rate. We are now in the impact economy,...

What is a Quantum Leap? It is a sudden (almost magical) scaling observed in sub atomic levels where electrons jump to the next orbit around the nucleus, on being prompted by an external energy. As a comparison, it is like Earth moving to Mars' orbit in a microsecond without going through the 250 million kilometers in between.Scientists have been fascinated by the parallels in quantum world and the visible world, where many of the traditional scientific theories are being put to test given the findings on duality, entanglement, observer effect and others. Its a fascinating field and for the uninitiated, I...
Are You There for Your Customers?
Published:08/28/2018 01:59am
I have a question for you. Are you there for your customers? I dont mean, do you show up for work every day? Thats a given, an implicit agreement. Thats the bare minimum. I dont even mean, do you have a customer service process that works? Thats also the price of entry: its how you stay in business. What Im talking about is bigger than customer service. Its an opportunity to go beyond the minimum, to expand your income and your impact. Its an attitude. Have you had an experience with a business that was stellar, truly outstanding? Almost all...
Whose Mind Is It Anyway?
Published:08/22/2018 01:09am
I recently read a gem of a book by Lisa and Franco Esile called Whose Mind Is It Anyway? Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life . It was a quick read under an hour. Plus it had pictures! How often can you say that about a business book? Its not touted as that, but it really is a book for you and your business. Plus, these people have a sense of humor! Again, not always a feature of a biz book. (It starts off with a drawing that admits the truth that we all avoid saying ...

Exercise: Is it really less important than diet for weight loss?
Published:04/05/2018 11:28pm
I have been hearing for some time now that when it comes to weight loss, exercise is not king. Diet is paramount. I mean, the NY Times said it, so it must be true. 1 To be fair, they cited many reputable studies in their report that seem to indicate exercise only goes so far in weight management. The amount you can burn in a single exercise session is easily erased by something as innocent as a second helping of dinner or a favorite sweet treat. Also for many, hunger increases after exercise and leads to overconsumption, thereby...
