Your Biggest Enemy…& Your Greatest Ally
Last week, I got a phone call from an old friend that I haven't heard from or talked to in years.
We got caught up on what we had been doing in all the time we hadn't been in touch. I told him of my martial arts, publishing, coaching, consulting and other projects, along with getting [...]
How to Stop Getting Bullied by Existing Clients, Potential Customers, Vendors & Employees
Nothing burns out a business owner faster than being bullied by existing clients, potential customers, vendors and employees.

The Bully Proof Power Principle
Last week, I responded to one of the many questions that I get regarding what I call the, "What If's…"

Bullies in Business & Reader Response to Obama’s Prize

Surprisingly, it was NOT full of nastygrams at all; it was mostly readers agreeing or their opinions on [...]
Obama’s Nobel Prize Sends Wrong Message to Bullies
I almost shot coffee through my nose this morning while scanning the Internet because right there, on the center of my screen, was a big picture of OFL – Our Fearless Leader – and the words, "Nobel Prize" in the headline.
The article I read went on to talk about how OFL was reaching out to the [...]

Teen Beaten to Death in Chicago Could Have Survived
Earlier this week, I got a call from a friend of mine who knows that I’m an expert when it comes to the subject of bullying. She told me to get online and find the story about the teenage boy who had beaten to death in the streets of Chicago.
I jumped online and unfortunately, I [...]
