I love poker. Have for most of my life. But I also love sports, so I feel I have the correct perspective to evaluate whether poker is a sport, or just a competitive game. First of all, for those who feel poker is “gambling” you are incorrect, and quite frankly, uninformed. Anybody who has played the game of chess would agree that it is a game requiring skill, but for some reason, a parallel to poker is often missed. Poker is a game of skill, and like chess, demands that you have knowledge of the game and its opponent(s). If…

I have always been a information hoarder. Countless books and audios, podcasts and tutorials, Tony Robbins fan club membership… Okay, that one is not really true, despite my affection for Mr. Robbins. After all, it was his audio series Personal Power that inspired me to act and start my first business. I have been on a path my entire life toward self-improvement, as I am sure you have. Because that is why you are here. Reading…
There are three things I do most everyday. It’s a personal checklist that I feel guilt over if I don’t complete. Not so much…

I often hear about the complications of corporate drama. It’s a complex network made up of chaos theory and…feelings. These feelings and mixed up paradigms can make the work place a mess, then if you sprinkle that with some entitlement, it can bring an entire department down.
First let me address the topic of corporate entitlement. Entitlement is a cancer that destroys productivity not just for the short term, but forever, if not remedied. Ever seen those six county workers watching the ONE guy with a shovel? I’m not a huge reality TV guy, but I was “fortunate” enough…

Dress shirt makers are giving us more options without the need for a mandatory trip to the tailor. Classic fit shirts generally involve WAY too much fabric, and can make our mid-section look like Jabba The Hut. Enter the Fitted and Slim Fit Dress shirts. Now, each manufacturer seems to have a different interpretation of the two, so use these tips for the right fit for you.

REINVENTION IS HARD

Sure, if you’re Madonna it’s easy to reinvent yourself. Especially if that only involves changing your outfit. Her music has pretty much stayed the same over the years, yet the public has dubbed her the “queen of reinvention.” The same could be said for many artists over the years. Dye your hair and throw on some rhinestones, and suddenly you are the better, new-and-improved version of yourself. But your music still sucks.
An exception that comes to mind is Johnny Cash. Late (very late) in his career, he took some stabs at various genres, most notably…
