What’s it All About: Before a “Success Quest’ in any area of your life is considered or launched, there are 4 mindful moments that are essential for you to embrace: Continue to Full Post

“It’s not where you start – it’s where you finish that counts.”

This saying is extremely timeworn and is heard time and time again and, I do not agree with it.

Please allow me to explain.

For me, it all matters. For me, where and how you start, where and how you finish and most of all, where you go and, what you do, in-between these two points, certainly matters.

I know of only one essential prerequisite needed to launch a personal or business Success Quest, no matter how small or no matter how grand, and help move it forward on the right road to victory. Continue to Full Post

“It seems to be one of the paradoxes of creativity that in order to think originally, we must familiarize ourselves with the ideas of others.” — George Kneller

• Good News #1: There really is no such thing as an “original” idea or concept.
• Good News #2: Please bear with me and let me explain how you can easily become a Prolific Creative Genius:

I’ve been in the fashion business for over 35 years. For over 20 of those years I was a private label, ladies apparel manufacturer. What that means is my company designed, sold, manufactured and shipped ladies apparel to every major retailer in the USA.

The difference between a private label manufacturer and a brand name designer/ manufacturer (e.g. Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors), is that a private label manufacturer attaches a retailer’s name label to the garments, not their own company label, and ships the apparel, with the retailer’s name label, back to the retailer’s stores. The brand name designer/manufacturer puts their own brand name label in the apparel and, they then ship to the retailer’s stores (e.g. Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Saks). Continue to Full Post

A FEW WORDS PLEASE

This article is made up of 4300 words and is approximately 14 pages long. I’ve broken the article into sections to make it easier for you to read in as many sittings as is comfortable for you.

The purpose and direction of this article is not about bashing “Change” and it’s hardy inclination to disrupt and, most times beyond our control, turn us upside down and inside out at it’s own descretion.

This article is about offering an alternative to “Changing” your entire life in “bulk”, to a more manageable, beneficial situation with minimal discomfort. It’s about “moving excerpts” of your life little by little, from ordinary to better than ordinary, or right up to, and through extraordinary. Continue to Full Post

 Curioposity Defined: To develop and maintain an eternal curious, inquisitive nature and as a result, always be inspired to ask the right questions and to always expect that the answers that you uncover, will somehow result in positive and exciting opportunities that will help create new and stirring possibilities in your life.

It’s pronounced Cur-i-o- pos-i-ty. It’s made up of the words Curiosity and Positivity. It’s my word. I created it . I could not find any word that would help me describe what I want to share with you. Continue to Full Post

You finally mustered up the courage to break on through to the other side of ordinary and joined the discriminating and distinctive world of your fellow humans who are dissatisfied, excited, frustrated, motivated and are “doing it” and “taking care of business”, in the world of “extraordinary.”

What are they doing?

They’re becoming entrepreneurs, they’re becoming entertainers and artists, they’re becoming mom and dad’s, they’re joining corporate America, they’re becoming professionals, they’ve all “shifted” their lives to better places and beyond. Continue to Full Post

“200 years” ago I was voted most popular in my High School, yet I always felt different and that I didn’t fit in. I never quite understood how I could be voted “Most Popular”. Not only was I puzzled by winning the “Most Popular” slot but what really kicked it over the top was the fact that my High School was predominantly African American and I’m a white Jewish male.

I never felt I fit in anyplace, but no one ever would suspect I felt that way. It wasn’t about being a phony or a sociopath, it was about, and still is, being comfortable with who I am and being comfortable interacting in the ever-changing world that spins around me. Continue to Full Post
