Daily RICHual #72: Corona Virus and the short attention span

Saturday I was heading to the grocery store to grab a few essential items and I noticed that the streets and roads were packed. And I mean packed like a fairly normal Saturday. And we’re on Stay at Home, right? Buzz Aldrin said, “People were excited when we landed on the moon. You go to the moon a couple more times and they’re not so excited.” No judgment here, but… Read More »Daily RICHual #72: Corona Virus and the short attention span

Daily RICHual #71: Muhammad Ali and Corona friendliness

Muhammad Ali once said, “My definition of evil is unfriendliness.” I’d like to say right up front that this quote might be a little harsh for the circumstance I am about to describe. Butt covered? Yes. A thing that I’ve noticed out on the trail since the “Stay at Home” order is that there are two kinds of people out for a walk, run, or ride: The ones that are… Read More »Daily RICHual #71: Muhammad Ali and Corona friendliness

Daily RICHual #70: Time Management? No, Energy Management

I’d like to recommend a book that more than likely you have not read (that’s the best kind of recommendation, right?). It’s called The Power of Full Engagement and it is written by Jim Loehr in 2003. Available on Amazon. If you’re like me, you strive to be the best you can be. You understand that the quantity of time you spend in this life is secondary to the quality… Read More »Daily RICHual #70: Time Management? No, Energy Management

Daily RICHual #69: What Octane Fuel Are You Using?

Often times humans compare their energy levels to fuel in a car’s gas tank. People say, “I’m running on empty today,” and things like that. So let’s stick with that analogy for a bit and turn you into two of the cars that I have owned in my lifetime: a Porsche Boxter and a 1979 Volkswagon Bug. Let’s agree on two things: These cars are designed for different performance levels,… Read More »Daily RICHual #69: What Octane Fuel Are You Using?

The Daily RICHual #68: You are what you THINK

So while we are going through this extremely unique time in our history I’ve been keeping track of what I let myself think. Sure, I get to do some work, I’m spending wonderful quality time with my wife, but it’s the time not spent being busy that I’m really giving a focus. It’s easy to get a little down, especially if you are someone whose job/livelihood has been affected. It’s… Read More »The Daily RICHual #68: You are what you THINK

Daily RICHual; #67: Kirk Douglas said…..

Kirk Douglas once said: “Maybe when you die, you come before a big bearded man on a big throne, and you say, ‘is this heaven?’ And he says, “Heaven? You just came from there.”

Daily RICHual #66: Bored? Try Something Old for a Different Reason

When I began running almost 54 years ago, I did it to make the team. Then I wanted to make varsity, the to be the number one man, then to win races, then to run faster. College was very much the same. The last few decades, however, things have changed.

Daily RICHual #65: Silence

I really don’t have anything to say today, so how about this:Silence. Silence to relax Silence to reflect Silence to ponder Silence to be thankful Silence to hope and dream Silence…..

Daily RICHual #64: Ritz Carlton: It’s all an act.

I quote the Ritz Carlton credo: “The Ritz-Carlton is a place where the genuine care and comfort of our guests is our highest mission. We pledge to provide the finest personal service and facilities for our guests who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed, yet refined ambience. The Ritz-Carlton experience enlivens the senses, instills well-being, and fulfills even the unexpressed wishes and needs of our guests.” So, it’s all an… Read More »Daily RICHual #64: Ritz Carlton: It’s all an act.

Daily RICHual #63: Are you NICE?

I have an idea: Wanna be a great salesperson? Be nice. Bruce Nordstrom said: ‘‘We can hire nice people and teach them to sell, but we can’t hire salespeople and teach them to be nice.’’ If you think it’s all about you, if you have a cynical, negative view of others, especially customers; if you think they OWE you something, you don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell at being… Read More »Daily RICHual #63: Are you NICE?
