Philosophy behind "My Little Black Book to Success"©

Welcome. I believe that actions mean more than words and I wanted you to have more time to start your actions than reading and hearing my words.

I must tell you that this book started out as a little diary for myself, while working and consulting for small and mid-sized businesses, and turned into a book that can offer direction and techniques with proven blueprints for implementation to be successful in your life, as well as your career.

First, believe in yourself as an element of change within your life's structure. You can make that difference.

Second, understand that taking yourself too seriously about learning new ideas will not help make the idea of believing in them any stronger.

"Learn from your past, work today, formulate action plans for tomorrow." Live by it!


Knowing that I have reached you and had an opportunity to really hit upon some core principles is the third most important part of this book.

Knowing that as you were reading this book, the possibility that even the slightest item that I mentioned taught you something is the second most important part of this book.

Knowing that you now have the ability to take sections of this book and apply them (send them into action) is the most important part of this book.

Words are meaningless without the actions behind them. Embrace the element of change and continue to grow your leadership skills in life and your career as you "Stop Biting Your Nails and Start Sharpening Your Claws"®, while you Run Your Business Like a Hotel."

Make it (do not have) a great day!
