Today is going to be a great day. Are you with me? As I write this, I’ve barely started my day and I can already tell you…it’s going to be a great day. I don’t know what the stock market is going to do. I don’t know what’s going to happen in Washington. I don’t know what’s going to happen overseas. But I’m …
I’m going to kick today’s post off with a topic I’m sure will bring out some strong feelings. Are you ready? I want you to think about… Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart? Yes, Wal-Mart. I don’t care who you are…I’m sure as soon as you saw the word “Wal-Mart” you had strong feelings. Some people love it…other people hate it… And no matter …
A few weeks ago, Amanda and I flew half way around the world to mark a huge milestone. It wasn’t our anniversary. It wasn’t a birthday. It was something much different. The event we were celebrating was the fulfillment of my mentor John Maxwell’s grand vision to train leaders in every single nation in the world. John wrote a post …

But when it came time to serve the dinner entree, we screwed up… My friend has a unique food allergy and we missed it. We forgot to ask. We hustled and made him another plate. …
I can’t believe the huge Live 2 Lead Tri-Cities event is just three months away. It feels like we just wrapped up last year’s event. In fact, I was thinking earlier today about how I’m still going through notes and applying things I learned at Live 2 Lead Tri-Cities last year. One of the best lessons I learned hit me so …

Imagine you’re at a football game. The action on the field is pretty intense, so everyone’s eyes are fixed on the field. People are cheering and clapping. The marching band is playing. But you look to your left and one guy isn’t paying attention to the game at all. Not even a little bit. This guy is twisted around in …
I have a friend…let’s call him Ed…and Ed had a bad experience at the beach. If you’re about to go to the beach, I don’t want you to have the same experience Ed had. Ed and his family go to the same beach every year early in the summer…right after school gets out. The beach trip is the big vacation …
