I don’t know if you noticed, but I missed MAWMonday Motivators last week for the first time in over 84 weeks.

Watch any movie that introduces some form of prophecy or prediction challenging the power and prominence of a person. In every situation, the person in power will attempt to resist or change that prophecy. Their resistance to change inevitably brings that reality closer to being made manifest. They create the road that leads to the […]

Life seems to be overrun with definitions. Defining yourself, defining your success, defining your purpose, and more exist. If it’s not definitions, it’s decisions. What. How much. When. Where.

Last night, I talked with a cousin I have not spoken to in 15 years. No drama, just lost touch as we grew up. Have you ever had one of those conversations that snaps you out of the pity party you didn’t even know you were having? Bottom line without telling you the whole story, […]

#EasterWeekend has me thinking about the Passion story from the perspective of Jesus as a businessman. Hear me out. He had a vision. He gathered a network. Then, he took his brand on the road. The most challenging period of his business career is commemorated by this weekend. He was at the point of giving […]

This week I wanted to provide some advice to those who are bigger than where they are. You know what I mean? You are working at a job or jobs that just are not providing enough. Sure, you get paid. But, you know that your life is much more than what you are doing at […]

The pressing question that began January 1, 2016 lingers now as longer days challenge your prior excuses about time and motivation.

“You have to want it.” I tell my toughest clients like Sean (Robin Williams) in that pivotal scene in the movie Good Will Hunting. “I do want it. But…” they respond. “You have to want it.” I keep my face stern communicating the consistency and certainty of purpose needed to achieve. “Dr. Wright, I do […]
