Distinguish “feedback” from “insults”
"Chris, All great advice. There is a time and a place to present constructive criticism. But as a society, we tend to walk much too often on the proverbial eggshells. There is a time and a place to just let people have it. Many people miss this opportunity. It's a shame because it's cathartic...it's a good release and cleanses us...no holding in feelings that tend to eat away at us. If, let's call him "Ike," is a slacker and does the least he can do at work, I don't believe in saying, "Ike, let's see how we can raise your productivity." I say, "Ike, you are a slacking, waste-of-oxygen, piece of lard, and if you don't start pulling your weight around here I'm gonna show your ass the exit door.""Distinguish “feedback” from “insults”
"Chris, I guess it's also like meeting Woody Allen at a dinner party. Many people would probably think silently to themselves "this guy married his adopted daughter when he was 75 and she was like 17." Then they would say "Wow Woody, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have the utmost respect for you." I would say, "You might be a talented director, but you're a freak." Then I would walk away."Sales People, We Need To Be More Pushy!
"Were I in sales, I might agree, but being on the other end, the consumer end, most of the time, I disagree. Way too much pushiness out there. Many sales blogs I read out there speak of the customer as a bumbling dunderhead, incapable of making logical decisions. Enter the salesperson, a source of enlightenment, eternal wisdom and other-worldy powers of insight. Okay, to a point. Enlighten me. Educate me. But please, PLEASE...don't push me."Wellington Boots Theory On Business
"Jackie, Great analogy!!! I was always the type of kid that would jump in mud puddles, collect tadpoles and watch them become frogs, and in all instances, come home, dirty, muddy or filthy. Today, I still lind of don't care about life's "puddles." I wear jeans, hiking boots amd lumberjack-style flannel shirts to business meetings where others are in khaki. And no, I refuse to tuck my shirt in. I bring stray dogs home as often as possible. I still get muddy and yucky on walks through our forest. I do bathe a lot and wear cologne though - my one "flaw?" To this day, I always gasp when I see people who must be perfectly attired, neat in all regards, and drawers inside of all lines. You are right! Let go. Feel free, and let it transfer to your business. Be creative. Dare to take chances that might end up in a royal f$&%k-up! Push boundaries in blogs. I hope that Wellington boots sees this post. It's a good one! Yoni"Wellington Boots Theory On Business
"I aslo guess it's about remaining a kid at heart, something that some people are afraid of doing or showing. I guess it's also why when still blogging, I regularly used words like doody, poo-poo, weiner, boobies, etc., etc., etc., and didn't give a monkey's balls, or a rat's ass what people thought. Your blog is very fresh and very straight to the heart. Most blogs I read are quite unfortunately, very dry, even if they contain great advice. I wish more bloggers would be more entertaining and alive. Like yours!"Nothing found for Nouns-turn-pro Http: Www Authopublisher Com Nouns-turn-pro
"Ivin, I always dug Superman. Not because he was the Man of Steel. Not because he could beat the crap out of almost anyone. I always liked Superman because he never, ever used a first-person personal pronoun. I never heard him once utter the word "I." He simply didn't believe in its usage or never learned it when he arrived on Earth. It was always... "Must rescue Lois." or "Have to break these Kryptonite chains." I always thought it was pretty cool."Nothing found for Nouns-turn-pro Http: Www Authopublisher Com Nouns-turn-pro
"That's right Duncan. You know, I always faulted Superman for a few things: 1) His underwear was way too tight 2) He could have easily assassinated Hitler 3) He could have used his powers to prevent the Decade of Disco But one thing I could never fault him on was he spoke about himself (I, me) very sparingly. Kudos Superman!"Remember the United Airlines Commercial?
"Very impactful Steve, even more so now with the advent of the Internet. Great video with insightful commentary. I like Craig's words. Unfortunately, most of my clients live across great wide bodies of water. I'd have to rob a bank to buy the airline tickets. Dear FBI: Just kidding!"Subscribe

MOODY'S ANALYST BREAKS SILENCE: Says Ratings Agency Rotten To Core With Conflicts, Corruption, And Greed
"Larry, My epiphany moment was a decade or so back when the Olympics scandal broke. For years most people, including me, thought wow! They award the Olympic games to the most deserving city! Gee that's nice. Then the scandal broke: Wining and dining the judges. Airline tickets for judges, friends and family for free vacations. Huge cash bribes. Cars. Cruises on yachts. And yes...PROSTITUTES! What's a good scandal without HOOKERS??? Moody's is corrupt? So is the UN. So is the World Bank. So are most governments. So are many businesses and organizations. My solution? Fire everybody. I mean EVERYBODY. Every single person in the world that has a job. Then start hiring all over again."
