Fibonacci Marketing
In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence includes the following integer sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377… Although this sequence was known to Indian mathematicians over 2000 years ago, the concept was introduced to the west by Fibonacci in his 1202 book entitled Liber Abaci.

Read MoreThe Stop List
Many people create a daily task or ‘to do’ list; however, few use another essential tool which I call a Stop List. In many ways, this can be considered a ‘NOT to do’ list. Yet, unlike a task list, you do not need to recreate this document on a daily basis as it focuses on focuses […]
Read MoreWhat Have I Forgotten?
As professional coach and philosopher-at-large, I collect powerful questions. This one I learned from the late, great science fiction author Sir Arthur C. Clarke.

Most successful business owners, entrepreneurs, and executives have well defined goals and almost universally keep their ‘to do’ list and calendar updated to the latest vital task. However, I’ve noticed that the top 2% of peak performers also maintain the following four lists: a stop list, a meet list, a gratitude list, and a ‘what […]
Read MoreSleep and Grow Rich?
In my 20s, I thought a good ‘sequel’ to Napoleon Hill’s famous book Think and Grow Rich would have been ‘Sleep and Grow Rich’ and it might have even sold more copies (the topics could have included ideas on passive income, long term real estate investing, ‘buy and hold’ stock market strategies, etc.). I know […]
