Success Tip from Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

This quote speaks for itself.

“Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Success Tip & Column –Be an Expert

Friday, February 26th, 2010


This month my Successful With Words column in The Big Blend Magazine focuses on building an “expert platform.”

Many may not feel they are an expert, but you need to be if you want referrals. Others feel they have a great deal of expertise to offer and not sure where to start.

Successful with Words, Do You Have an Expert Platform? can help.

Please remember, that I’m always eager to hear your comments and willing to attempt to answer questions.

Success Tip – Do what you love

Thursday, February 25th, 2010


I really like this quote as I’ve always encouraged others to be passionate about what they are doing. That passion or love comes through in various forms of success. This quote by David Frost seems appropriate.

“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.” ~David Frost
