First Responder Living Challenge
Tremendous resources are invested to make our first responders highly skilled on the job, but little is invested in tools and tech to help them lead more rewarding lives.
So, we are proposing a Living Challenge to empower the fearless men and women on the front line to look at their personal lives from a fresh new perspective.
The challenge, of course, is to have a life OFF the job better than the life you have ON the job.
For some, this will be easy as they have already achieved a nice work/life balance. But for others, this may well be their biggest challenge ever!

The Midas Touch in a Single Word: Strategy
Smarter Business Starts With a Smarter Strategy.
Today is a great time to think about the year ahead, what you must do to increase market share, attract new business, and build greater value.
That, of course is the desire.
But the reality is, most businesses will simply ignore the idea of creating an actual strategy, instead, attempting to throw a bunch of random tactics at the day to day issues every business faces.
Which is why the business failure rate continues to ravage the hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs everywhere.
The Power of Unconditional Commitment
Total Commitment…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the power of total commitment.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT.
Think about this the next time you order bacon and eggs.

Winning In Business is a Street-Smart Affair…
Street-Smarts Rule…
It takes all kind of smarts to make the world go around.
Here’s an observation from J. B. Smoove…
“There’s book smart, there is street smart, there’s relationship smart, there’s too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn’t know every kind of smart. There’s money smart, there’s movie smart, there’s computer smart. There’s just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.”
Conviction-Driven Leadership: Knowledge Refines ~ Action Defines…
In times when people are confused, frightened, and need direction your leadership matters. Not lip-service to the word, but the true essence of what it means to lead in times of uncertainty, fear, and forced change.
Charles Darwin said it best, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Put another way, in this rapidly changing global economy, you either adapt or die.
We are in a time of unprecedented upheaval, a sudden and abrupt change to our way of life due to the hysteria surrounding the COVID19 virus. We must now quickly adapt or find our businesses decimated.
