Not About Any Michael Douglas

by Doug Evans on June 3, 2013

Several thoughts have been buzzing around this past week. I established early I better leave the Michael Douglas report alone. I could only get in trouble with a serious discussion or some smart &ss comments.

My smart phone for this past month especially the past week has been pretty dumb. It’s been dropping calls, screens freezing so it takes 6-8 tries to make a call, internet connections almost as fast a dial up, dead areas all over the beloved State of Michigan. No more roaming costs up North but no more service either. Progress ? A new phone is on it’s way but it can’t take care of all this mess.

Maybe we can dumb down the phones, develop the new models a little slower but make sure they work?

Just a thought !

Lots of thoughts about the new graduates moving on. They sure have their hands full with a ton of issues. They shouldn’t have to deal with all this crap. Common sense where are you ? Come on people !

Graduates should be focusing on dreams. I don’t promote them much but my D.I.N.O. wristbands are perfect for them.

D.I.N.O. -Dreaming Is Never Optional

It’s not optional. With the tons of negativity out there they need a simple reminder. Mine is on every day!

There are some pink ones left in limited quantities. Pink has been associated with cancer. Breast cancer’s color is pink but many people associate it with all cancer. Cancer fighters. Cancer survivors.

Maybe they need a reminder to dream. What do you think ? I know they do. It’s up to you or your organization to decided if this is a good way.

Here is a link to order up a few:

Peace.

Need Some More Time ?

by Doug Evans on May 29, 2013

One of the subjects that my clients struggle with is time allocation-not time management.

 You can not manage time but if you are not careful, it will manage you.

Here is an article I found that might help you.

Find More Time

What would you do if you could find an hour maybe two every day ?

Three Things to Remember

May 24, 2013

Memorial Day is damn near a forgotten Holiday and that is a real shame. Memorial Day is many things but please remember at least these three: 1) It is Memorial day not National BBQ day or open my swimming pool day. Millions of brave men and women fought for our freedom, our safety, our success, [...]

What To Do To Get Things Done

May 17, 2013

How often have we had a “to do” list a mile long ? How often have we been busy all day long and yet feel we accomplished nothing ? How often do we realize at the end of the day that what we worked on isn’t bringing us closer to our goals or dreams? Brian [...]

I Need Your Input – Do You Want Change ?

May 1, 2013

Maybe it is just me, but my God, I can’t believe the news lately. For years I try to avoid the news because more than 50 % of has been negative. Now, if I turn on the news, 98% of it is negative. Ethical, objective reporting is gone. Reporters are on obvious agendas to influence [...]

The New And Improved Top 16 Books Everyone Should Read

April 20, 2013

It had been longer than I thought in updating this list. New books are read, older books are used by myself, friends and clients in new ways so changes happen. The changes are normally very subtle. A little shifting within the list and perhaps a book, maybe two added. Three changes were made. I’ll offer [...]

Ten Golden Nuggets from Play to Win

April 15, 2013

I was sad to hear that Larry Wilson passed away last week. No, he was not one of the Beach Boys! Nor was he Gahan Wilson (look him up if you must!) who has some other fame. I never met Larry but felt I knew him after studying his book Play to Win. To say [...]

Sometimes Inspiration Isn’t Kept a Secret

My wife, Mary Ann & I were at the Chocolate Gallery Cafe for breakfast this morning and I was stopped by another frequent customer. She told me she recently lost her best friend and that my book, A Leprechaun in Your Pocket, has been “invaluable” the last few weeks in helping her deal with her [...]

Frustration at the Joe

April 2, 2013

This post is a little rant, a little frustration, a snippet from a little scouting left in me, a little plea and a bunch of disappointment. As a speaker who is often asked to talk about dreams, I ran out and preordered Coach Mike Babcock’s book- Leave No Doubt – a Credo for Chasing Your [...]
