Napoleon Hill, the iconic American motivational speaker and author, once said, “Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he (or she) is best suited.”

So, what do you absolutely need to do to maximize your engagement at work?

Let me propose a MASTER KEY to living out your fullest potential in the workspace from over 3 decades of interactions with thousands of people.

As a former senior corporate manager and trainer, I an the first to acknowledge that other factors play essential roles such as…

chemistry, competency, contribution, character,...

“Many times momentum is the only difference between winning and losing. With it, everyone is expectant and energized, and people tend to perform at their peak potential. Without it, people lose heart and have difficulty finding motivation.” – John C. Maxwell

Have you ever felt that you lost your motivation and your momentum?

 TRUTH:  Sometimes I have.

It felt as if I took a punch in the passion gut, and was bent over. While I was on the path to one of my life’s biggest goals-my doctorate-life's challenges, like a ton of bricks, unloaded on me. Now, let me put this in perspective for you.

 I’m just like you. I came from small beginnings, have big hopes and dreams, and want to help as many people as I can along life’s way. But I lost my MOJO, my motivation, and I just wanted to come home and escape. Watch a move,have a drink, and just make world go away.

After just seeing The Avengers: Endgame, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Loved it!

 I’m hooked!

Okay, let me calm down a bit…just breathe, John. Before it leaves the theaters, I will probably watch it 2-3 more times with family and friends.

Now, I won’t be a spoiler; however, the word, “Endgame” has been rolling over and over in my mind.

Now, the definition of the word relates to strategic games, such as Chess or Risk, where there are few pieces left, and the players have a “hidden” plan or strategy to pull out, defeat their opponent, and win the game.

In business, it may be considered a plan (or bulletproof backup plan) to achieve...

*By the way, I will continue the 4-part series starting next week about how to have a paradigm shift in your life. (Picking up on Part 3 then) I wanted to write this 2019 New Year blog in between.

Beginning a New Year brings delight to some, but to others, it's just another date on the calendar. One person might love the idea of a fresh start, while another dreads it.

What does it mean to you?

 Someone once said, "Life is what you make of it". How do you and I view it? I love sunrises. It's a matter of fact, I am in Florida right now and took pictures and videos of the sunrise on the beach on the East Coast side. Seeing the bright new day symbolizes new beginnings, fresh starts, new days, etc. It's a life mulligan if you will.

 Now, I'm writing this blog post with a few major things in mind:

 First, I need a fresh start because we JUST experienced a tragedy. Our motorhome...
