Today, I wanted to continue on with yesterday’s post and share a few more of the concepts from The Art of Possibility. Practice Number Two – Stepping into a Universe of Possibilities I love this practice. Once we realize it’s all invented, what’s the next step? Well the next step is to take the leap…
DetailsThis weekend, I finished a book from the 100 Best Business Books of All Time that’s been sitting on my bookshelf for about two years. The book is the The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander. Life is funny that way. About two years ago, while aimlessly wondering through my local…
DetailsThe world is a tricky place to live. I read a line in the book Thinkertoys the other day that got me thinking. It read: “There is no way of knowing how far intention and action can take you. This world offers no guarantees, only opportunities and vicissitudes. When you reach for the stars you may…
DetailsIn the final piece of the four new prints I got from Hugh MacLeod‘s linchpin series, this one turned out to be my favorite one of all. To me, this piece brings it all together. If you look back over the past four days, you’ll see that each peice of art tends to bring us to this last and super important message…
DetailsA print from the Linchpin series by Hugh MacLeod now beautifies my office walls and reads: “linchpin.

DetailsI read an amazing book the other day written by the guys over at 37Signals.com – Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. They had just released their eagerly anticipated book Rework. I was anxiously awaiting the books release. So on launch day, I ordered a copy on my Kindle. I took a quick peak, which turned into reading…
DetailsYesterday I was having a discussion with my cousin Adam about resumes. Adam is finishing up college and starting to look for employment amongst thousands of other eager students. It was interesting because he was explaining all the ways a resume is required to be written and prepared, according to his college. (Much hasn’t changed since…
DetailsThe other day I mentioned that the manual doesn’t exist. There’s no specific manual or step-by-step action plan to achieving success, but there are tools to guide you. However, these tools only work when you’ve got the endpoint in mind. This reminds me a lot of GPS Navigation. If you get in your car and…
