Make Relationships Last

Posted on August 9, 2010 at 10:38am 1 Comment

Is he the ONE? How do you know? How much do you have to know to be sure? Is marriage a possibility?



In my newly revised book, Make Relationships Last: A Man's View (available on amazon) I cover attraction, intimacy, soul mates, chemistry, long distance relationships, and a provocative Q and A that helps understand many gender based issues. I also point out that there is a "fundamental relationship error" many of us make over and over again. There are some wry wisdoms about men,… Continue

Opportunity knocks!

Posted on July 26, 2010 at 5:31pm 0 Comments

We live in a world of opportunity. We just have to look for and be curious. Narrow focus may miss the big one! Then, we may have to take a risk. How big a risk is it? What if we do nothing, or the same old same old? I reconnedted with an old friend today at a luncheon. We're going to meet again and see how we can help each other.

How would you know if people understood what you were trying to communicate to them? Wouldn't they need to indicate somehow that they got it? I have heard friends quickly say, "know what I mean", but not wait to find out!

What is your role as the receiver? You hear what is said, but now the question is did you hear what you wanted to hear, or did you…

Positioning for the Recovery

Posted on August 7, 2009 at 7:10am 2 Comments

Maybe the economy is getting a little better. I know many people who have had to scramble to keep above water. So there will be a recovery and jobs and real estate sales will improve. While there is still less business, this is a good time to look ahead and think of ways you can position your business for the recovery. I'd like to hear what some of your are thinking about this idea. Here is a real life example.



One of my (4) sons has a kitchen countertop business in Harrisburg, PA.… Continue
