Is Your Business Mindset Preventing Your Success Online?

Everything I have achieved in my life has started as a thought in my head. Professionally, my business mindset has been a huge factor in my success.

My thoughts have gotten me to where I am today.

And if I’m honest with myself …

My thoughts have held me back from achieving some of the goals I set for myself.

It has taken me a very long time to recognize the power of this simple reality.

If you believe the mindset experts, here’s how it works:

Thoughts generate feelings.

Feelings spur you to take action.

Action leads to results.

Your results will improve when you align your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions.

This, to me, is the key to managing your personal business mindset.

Digital Versus Analog: Which is Better for Productivity?

Needle down. Crack… Pop…

“Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman”

Sound from the spinning black circle filled our living room and it was fantastic. Not that The Beatles’ Revolver album could ever sound bad. But there’s something special about hearing it on vinyl for the first time.

The whole analog experience presents something different in a world moving increasingly toward the streaming of digital files, apps, and transactions in the cloud. The act of touching and experiencing something with all of your senses is becoming rare.

You’ve Gotta Be You

To be nobody but myself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting. –e.e. cummings, poet (1894-1962)

Football is like life — it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. –Vince Lombardi

Football is more than a game. It is about strategy, about fully utilizing your resources, about adjusting to sudden change … and, of course, about pleasing your fans.
