Maybe when your business terrain looks more like a battlefield? It's GOAL-SETTING time. January 2018 -- the time when every seasoned business owner / executive is considering how to best advance their interests in the coming year. What BHAGs -- Big Hairy Audacious Goals -- will push them beyond their comfort zones into the realm...
Most of us are beginning our New Year as we always do -- determining our priorities for the coming year and establishing our goals and plans to bring those priorities to fruition. It's a time of considering possibilities and harnessing opportunities to become more effective and impactful. And it occurs to me... How can we...
This photo says a lot to me about this New Year of 2018. It says "OPPORTUNITY!" To unlock hidden treasures. To break free from whatever is holding me (and others) back. As a person. As a Christian. As someone I haven't met yet, who may not know the Lord who loves them... What does it...

Would it surprise you to learn that some Christian realtors are coming under fire for using Bible verses on their websites and email signatures, and Christian symbolism in their materials? It did me!
