How to Get Your New Year’s Resolution Past the First Week of January 2013

Okay – let’s face it. Most of us are men of “promises.” Not that we keep our promises well, though… we promises to do many things, yet so little has been achieved, due to one reason or another. Mainly procrastination and lack of passion, the next major cause of your breaking-apart New Year’s resolution is due to the unrealistic goals and the lack of plans you have set to pursue in 2013.

What a Merry Christmas Means to Me

Christmas has always been special to me for many reasons. One reason is due to the obvious fact that I am a Christian and I love and loved by Jesus. Another reason is the fact that I spend every Christmas and New Year looking back what I personally and professionally have been through throughout the year, as well as planning for new goals and targets to fight for past the New Year.

Entrepreneurs: Don’t be Arrogant!

Making millions of dollars? Winning many awards? Doing things others can’t do? Yes, some of you would think that you have the right to brag about your achievements. However, be warned – someday, somehow, you will be caught off-guard; and when bad things happen while you are at the top (or at least you think you are at the top), it sucks big time.
