Invest in your future!
by Russ Dalbey
Well… April 15 has come and gone. If you received a refund this year, is it already spent on something essential? If not, why not put some of it towards something really important… your financial future.

Are you sabotaging yourself?
by Russ Dalbey
I’ve blogged before about the importance of first impressions in business. How you present yourself – everything from your clothes, your hair, and your briefcase… to your demeanor on the phone, your promptness, and your handshake – can be the critical factor that unlocks the door to success.

Achieving Peace of Mind
by Russ Dalbey
What is it that we’re all
really after?
Success? Sure. Financial
freedom and security? You bet. Accolades and approval? Of course.

I’ve been thinking that maybe we’ve been looking at them all wrong.
Most people think of a brick wall as a barrier to our dreams… a solid obstruction that is intimidating and fearsome.
But [...]

Business communication in the 21st century
by Russ Dalbey
Seems like no matter where I go these days, all I see are people talking on cell phones, on their lap tops, wearing their Bluetooth headsets, or surfing the net on their iPhones. Everyone seems to be communicating all the time, in all manner of places… in their cars, walking down the street, in meetings, [...]

by Russ Dalbey
Have you heard of someone named “Alferd Williams”?
If not, it’s okay… he’s not a famous world leader, educator, Hollywood actor, or athlete.
Even so, I have a lot of respect for Alferd.
Alferd Williams is a first grader at Edison Elementary School in St. Joseph, Missouri. He sits in circle-time, does his schoolwork dutifully, and enjoys a [...]

by Russ Dalbey
For all you parents out there, here’s a great article from The Today Show’s website that talks about kids and their diets. Did you know that 45 percent of this country’s youth are overweight or obese, and the number of children burdened with diabetes has nearly quadrupled in the past 30 years? I didn’t.
