Courage of Conviction

Today on my EADDblog, I posted an article on saving money and how it relates to life and business.  Here’s an excerpt:

This past week, I cut out about six different monthly services that my wife and I haven’t been using all that much.  These were for both business and personal use - including the landline phone at home.  It’s been months since I picked up the landline to make a call - so why did we keep paying the phone company $35 each month?   

In total, we’ll be saving just under $200 each month by canceling the services that we did.  So why didn’t we do this months ago?  Why did we keep sending our hard earned money to other people for things we didn’t use?   

and…

The lesson is simple - small things, when combined, can make big impacts.  It’s true when in comes to money.  It’s also true when it comes to time.   

I posted an article on my EADDblog about urgency and putting out fires.  I based it off of a blog post from Seth Godin on the subject.  It’s really an excellent piece and worth the read.  Here’s a piece:

You can have grand visions for remodeling your house or getting in shape, but if there’s a fire in the kitchen, you drop everything and put it out. What choice do you have? The problem, of course, is that most organizations are on fire, most of the time.

Rhonda Hebbard, from Luxor Marketing, posted some ideas about distraction on her blog.  She related an experience she had with distraction with somethings I had told her recently.  Enjoy!

Last week was quite the week for me.  Monday was tax preparation day, Tuesday was filled with travel and meetings, Wednesday I was sick as a dog, Thursday was a catch-up day, and Friday was another snow filled day.  Needless to say, this was not the typical week.

I’ll be doing a booksigning today for my newest book - Speaking of Success.  The booksigning will be taking place at Cornerstone Coffeehouse at Techport.  Cornerstone is located at 421 Friendship Rd., Harrisburg, PA  17111.  I’ll be there from noon until 2pm.  Stop by and say hi and join me for some conversation on EADD.  Not sure what EADD is?  That’s all the more reason to stop by.

Next Tuesday, Oct. 16th from 1pm to 2pm, I’ll be featured in an interview with Michelle Ulrich from The Virtual Nation.  Michelle will be asking me about EADD - Entrepreneurial Attention Deficit Disorder. 

The teleclass is free, you just have to register for it.  You can do that by clicking here.

Enjoy.

My first book was just published.  It’s called Speaking of Success.  There are other authors involved in this book as well - people like Ken Blanchard, Jack Canfield and Stephen Covey.  It’s a book about success, just as the title implies.  If you are a person who seeks success or looking to overcome obstacles in your way - this is the book for you.  If you have an interest in buying the book - Please go here.
