The Natural Law of the Vacuum What are you filled with? I want to keep this message short and simple because – well – it is.  Here’s the deal.  Nature HATES a vacuum – or in easier terms, an empty space.  If something isn’t “filled”, then it’s not long before nature takes it upon herself to […]

The Natural Law of ENTHUSIASM Go ahead…get excited! Okay, you aren’t in “sales”, so this must not apply to you right? Wrong! This applies to everyone and can be used to get results in ANY area of life.  Check this out.  So, no matter what you do…  You are in the business of “selling” someone on […]

The Natural Law of ENTROPY Do you let opportunity slip away? I work with hundreds of high school and college students every summer through Eagle University – or Eagle U as we call it.  However, many (many, many!) years ago I was the Eagle U student!

The Natural Law of RECIPROCITY Think it through! I remember in high school physics class learning Newton’s Third Law of Motion. You know, the one that says “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”? Think of a swimmer using her feet to push off the side of the wall and propel herself forward.  She initially […]

NATURAL LAW OF ACCOUNTABILITY When two or more are responsible, nothing happens. When many are responsible and one person is accountable, things get done! When I have a task on my list (my Brain Dump) that needs to be assigned to my young leadership team, I always catch myself just about to make a major mistake.  […]
