Experience and The Experienced Can be the Teacher
Recently a new puppy came to join our family pack. Sally, our youngest Cairn Terrier, came to our home at age 4 months. An energetic puppy with a brain ready to be filled with ideas and new experiences. Sally has a tremendous advantage in our house: Harry. Harry is my 11-year-old Brindle Cairn. The old

Always Tip the Band
It’s a small act of kindness. One of those things we don’t always do and take for granted–that someone else will do it for you. Always tip the band. Last year, I dated a remarkable woman who had many talents, most of all being gracious and kind. Besides looking out for a long-retired World War

Channeling Your Inner Stray Dog
Every morning when Harry and I head out the door, we get to the end of the sidewalk and that’s when it happens. Harry’s inner stray dog kicks in. I know his mood by which way he turns–to the left means we are headed to the lake. To the right means a meandering walk through

Finishing Upright and Under Your Own Power
It takes grit and determination to finish some things. Yes, we all like to win and be competitive, but sometimes the object is to finish. I hadn’t really understood this until I had a close friend put this into context for me. I was at an event recently where I introduced my friend, Heidi, quite

Recognition Strategy: Giving Away Framed Photos
It started out as a way to engage my prospects and clients. Pose for a photo with Harry, my Cairn Terrier, AKA Harry Discovers, in your place of business. In return we posted the photo with a few links onto his website. Then it got fun. As an excuse to return and see the client

My Encounters with an Internet TV Star
I grew up watching a lot of television. Variety shows, sitcoms, game shows and talk shows. The talk shows from Phil Donahue to Merv Griffin to Mike Douglas to David Frost all captured my imagination and viewing time. Little did I realize that one day I would be able to say I helped promote an
