		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has the ability to be great.  In fact, greatness is probably the most natural of all achievements.  So why don't more of us achieve greatness?  One reason is that we get in our own way.  Another reason is that we often don't receive the right amount of encouragement.

Here are the top ten excuses for not being great, along with some quick  advice on how you can achieve greatness.

Top 10 excuses for not being great


1. You don’t know how.

Huh? You’re kidding, right? You don’t know how to do something? I have one word for you: Google.

Need a book? Your public library has thousands and you won’t have to wait in line because nobody goes there.

Need tutelage? Hire a coach.

Information is more accessible now than any other point in history and most of it is free. Get good at accessing what you need to know. It’s your ticket to greatness.


2. You don’t know the right people.

As with information, people are more accessible than ever before. Nearly anyone you need to know can be found on Twitter, Facebook, or Linkedin.

Make yourself a little more available and you’re half way there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ure, women have come a long way, baby, but the glass ceiling hasn't even been scratched, let alone broken.

Women hold more MBAs than men, but are employed in fewer executive positions for far less money. 

The Troy Rotary Club of Michigan, I'm going to be President next year, is honoring Troy business women and women everywhere with its second annual Troy Business Woman of the Year Awards luncheon on Wednesday, October 5.  Detroit-area folks are welcome to attend and nominate.  Here are details.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once earned a speaking engagement by impressing Roxanne Gibbs, editor of The Nation, a prominent Barbados newspaper.  I first met Roxanne and five of her friends in a banquet buffet line.   Later, she recounted that I remembered all of their names after the meal.

5 Cool Ideas for remembering names

1.  Use a system you can rely on.
People who use a memory device called mnemonics remember Pat’s name because she is wearing purple, but may struggle to recall Pat’s name when she wears brown.  Try to remember a person for who they are, rather than what they wear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[E-mail introductions are a fantastic way to help people, build your network, and upgrade your team. 

But it takes a little time to keystroke the verbiage, so I simply save that chunk of text as a template and customize the details each time I use it.

Below, I give you the best way to introduce me, followed by a generic template you can use to save time in the future.

		<description><![CDATA[I read Q:  The Autobiography of Quincy Jones a while back.

Quincy has had an amazing life.  Most people know him as the producer of Michael Jackson's, Thriller, but Q has worked with tons of famous people, including Frank Sinatra, Lesley Gore, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Miles Davis.

Originally a music arranger, Quincy met a lot of musicians before he turned 21 years old.  By most accounts, Quincy took care of his relationships and one friendship led to another and so on, resulting in a lifetime of fruitful collaborations]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are two types of people using social media.

The first type likes to mosey through a do-it-yourself program.  It's a comfortable pace and they have a lot of fun.

The second type is always thirsty for ways to get practical tips that save time and produce revenue.  This group also has a lot of fun, but they also find ways to build brands and make money.

The latter group likes to "Facebook with purpose" and these are the folks who tend to seek me out for help.]]></description>

Sunday will be filled with Father's Day traditions, such as a good meal, fun activities, good stories, inside jokes about family members, and maybe a little family drama. After all, drama is a family tradition, too, right?

But, Monday is Father's Day, too, because that's when many of us come to understand how important dad is. ]]></description>
