Each day this day comes by I'm deeply reminded of your birth & your death. Your birth gave life to me. Your death ended you & wounded me. People outside of our relationship may think you died a long, long time ago but, between you and me, time means nothing. Time tries to trick us into forgetfulness, to trick us into meaninglessness. But, it's time which is the meaningless thing, the nothingness. For though death interrupted our conversations and time is trying to bury them, my heart, my mind, and my soul keeps them alive... They will remain alive as long as I am...Happy Birthday, Unforgettable Dad...10.15.2019See More

Humans have been known to beg just to hear the right word from the right person. The right word is invaluable to us - personally, professionally, financially. The right word can make the world MAGIC. But the wrong words, heartless words, tactless words, hard words can do sustainable, irreparable damage to individuals, families, companies, countries - our entire world. Hard words can effectively be the same as fist punches.  We should reserve fist punches for emergency situations and for protection - not as habitual means of interacting with one another.  No one welcomes the habitual puncher.  No one welcomes the indiscriminate puncher who can't turn off their punching penchant. If your words are habitually considered to be handshakes, people welcome you, just by the mere mention of your name.  By the mere mention of your name, you are a success before you speak. But, if your words are habitually considered to be punches, people resent your message and reject it even before your message is expressed.   Based on your prior branding as a puncher, your message fails before you speak. Can you see the danger of people who build up their brand as a "puncher", especially an "indiscriminate puncher"? +Thanks, and Keep STRONG!!+Vincent Wright,Brandergistwww.Brandergy.com | www.VincentWright.comhttp://Twitter.com/Brandergy | http://Twitter.com/VincentWright+1-860-967-0931 | SKYPE = MyLinkedinPowerForumWords, Handshakes, Fists, and Punches was published on October 20, 2011 at 8:44am on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/notes/vincent-wright/words-handshakes-fists-and-punches/10150325829796556See More

The first step smart companies, all companies need to do is recognize the need for change.  While simply recognizing that need might sound “too easy,” the truth is that there are many in the world today who have yet to take even this first step. Those smart companies take the time to assess things such as:How has my business changed in the last year?What new things am I trying?How am I growing?If you struggle to come up with answers to those questions, you’re not alone. Many businesses hold fast to this idea that doing the same things over and over again will yield different results. No you and I both know you will only get the same results you have always gotten.. So are their answers? Yes but remember it takes changing things and change is hard. It brings with it periods of uncertainty, of doubt, and it seems to inflame even the tiniest of insecurities.
