Letter to my friend and mentor Rick Butts

Dear Rick,

You’ve outdone yourself…again! I’m referring, of course, to your latest ebook, “7 little Choices that Can Wreck your Business (and your Life): A Warning”

Is it in Our Nature to Struggle…or to Flow?

In these difficult economic times, we are constantly reminded of ‘struggle:’ employment struggles, company survival struggles, family budgeting struggles, health maintenance struggles, and so on. We must overcome some real difficulties, as individuals, as families and as communities. So, the question is—is it in our nature to struggle or to flow?

Looking Younger or Accepting Life Experiences that come with Age?

Every year each one of us grows older. Some try to avoid this by using every product possible for looking younger. But, what about the knowledge and understanding we have gained through life experiences? Is it more important to look younger or accept the wisdom that comes with age?
