I wanted to let everyone know that decided to write my next book entitled "Champions Win: The Seven Traits Needed For Business Success". The twist to my new endeavor is that you will be able to download the book onto various devices for FREE! My goal is to have 10,000 download to show that I do indeed have an audience. Stay tuned for updates. Thanks for your continued support.

Update
Hello everyone. I wanted to keep you updated on what is happening with me and my book, The Six Common Small Business Failures. Life is good. The book is being received well. I plan to have my book available everywhere shortly. I picked up a business book that happens to be a best-seller. I read a chapter then read a chapter of mine. I liked mine better. I am biased, so let me know what you think. I truly believe that when the right celebrity or public figure reads my book, they may ignite a spark of interest that may lead to best-seller status! God bless you.

A New Me
Every day I try to become better. But today is different. Today is special. I decided to stay focused on my overall goal of building my author platform (those who are fans of my writing). Ten years from now, I will be able to easily convince people to read my offerings. I will not worry about present circumstances. I will WIN! I am currently writing my next two books and I am enjoying the journey. Also, the shelf life of The Six Common Small Business Failures will be longer than the average business book. It may very well be before its time. The fight will continue. It feels like I have to convince each person to try my book. This convincing will subside as my platform builds. Don't wish me luck because luck will not have anything to do with my success - God will mold me into what He wishes me to be.
This was a little pep talk for me. I apologize for involving you all. Pep talks work well with hard work. I have done the first, now it is time to work!

Busy As A Bee
Hello everyone. Just wanted to drop a quick note. Although we get busy, we need to understand the importance of time management. Handle your time as if you cannot get it back, because you can't!

Untruthfulness
For the past four weeks, I have had the opportunity to speak to my church, the West Jacksonville Church Of God In Christ. Each week I talk briefly on each failure identified in my book, The Six Common Small Business Failures. This week the topic was Failure #5, untruthfulness.
We have all heard the expressions, "If you are not cheating, you are not trying" or "Nice guys finish last". Strong business leaders do not need to cheat, lie, or be mean in order to win in business. We must realize that it does matter how we 'play the game'. Our youth need to have role models in business that possess courage, determination, and integrity.
Business is about building relationships. Yet lies tear down relationships. Can you see the problem with lies? Lies can (and do) tear down years of positive, truthful behavior. One lie can make someone not trust you ever again. There is indeed power in the words we speak (and write).
Smart business leaders tell the truth and demand that everyone in and around their organizations do the same. We should 'underpromise and overdeliver' as a rule of thumb. If your company cannot do something that is asked of it, just say so. The truth may not always be appreciated but is always the best way to go. Lastly, we do not have time nor the ability to remember every thing that we say or do. If only true statements are used, it is easy to recall them. The truth will stand the test of time. The truth will set you free! God bless you.

The Energy of Leadership
Have you ever heard the expression that energy can not be created not destroyed? Actually, the law of conservation of energy says that in an isolated system energy can only be changed i.e. kinetic energy to thermal energy. In business, leaders should understand that if we put a great amount of "human equity" - blood, sweat, and tears, we will get a great amount of movement in return. Notice that a positive outcome is NOT guaranteed. The key is to put wisdom and energy together to obtain a fruitful result.
Organizations are isolated systems in this scenario. Meaning, if great people are in the system, and they have great ideas, these ideas can have two affects. One, they can be implemented - leading to new products, technologies, and ultimately new revenue streams. Secondly, they can be squandered - leading to negative forces such as stagnation, employee burnout, and possible failure. It is the job of leaders to squeeze every ounce of positive energy out of everyone in the system including ourselves. If not, that energy turns negative naturally.
Business champions - great business leaders - understand the importance of using all resources for the advancement of the organization. There is energy in our systems. We must use this energy wisely. God bless you!
