Success Coaching for Men

ATTENTION ALL BUSY PEOPLE, (Yes, that means you!)  Listen up for a second: I want you to take a ‘time-out’ in your busy, over scheduled, hectic day for 5 minutes to read this.  Take a look at this You Tube video from the movie ‘Coach Carter’ and notice 3 things: A Time Out is Called - Coach stops the [...]

Lust – excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature Today is the last installment of the 7 Deadly Sins of Dating series. I tried to save the best for last, people! Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the ‘journey’ of life versus the ‘destination.’  Think about it – we all have destinations [...]

Greed – excessive desire and pursuit, mainly of money, wealth, or power What is ‘enough’ for you?  In other words:  What is enough work? What is enough money? What is enough time at work? What is enough time at the gym? What is enough time spent on Facebook? What is enough to eat? The list could [...]

Inspiration for this post provided by my good friend, the brilliant Mr. Rich DeMatteo.   An amazingly talented career oriented writer on his blog Corn on the Job.  Check it! Dear Men, Below is a video of a song called ’My Stupid Mouth’ by John Mayer.   Please listen to and read the song lyrics.  Then, I want you to remember something that [...]

MEN: I am sick of hearing you complain about your life.  I am  especially tired of hearing these two lame excuses: Why can’t I find the right woman? Why do I hate my job so much? The problem is not women, society, your company, or your boss. It’s you. You can do something about it, however.  What if [...]

Let’s recap: 1. Half-Assing (giving 50%) is a plague in our society – you and I both know when we are doing it and it’s time to freaking stop. 2.

Yesterday we discussed a huge problem in our society: when you or I give 50% of what we are capable of (hence the allusion to my friendly, rapping friend – 50 Cent.)  We also determined that just ‘trying harder’ is not the answer.  Nor is trying something new… a new Daytimer, book, system, meditation, or guru might [...]
