		<description>Pierce, Dan uses this example often for better understanding of getting what you expect or what you put forth.  Recently, as you know, Dan went through a very painful attack of appendicitis and had to have surgery. He went from walk-in clinic to imaging center to ER to surgery.  We talked afterwards about how wonderful everyone treated him.  I had the same experience while waiting for him in the ER waiting room.  HOWEVER, I heard many other people griping and complaining and demanding attention and grumbling under their breath.  They, in turn, were treated the same way by everyone they came in contact with.  The Law of the Harvest (you reap what you sow) applies to every avenue of life.  Dan and I DO lead a charmed life.  BECAUSE we charm everyone who comes in our path. We respect them and treat them with courtesy and kindness.  In return we get the same treatment.  Sometimes I despair that some people just don&#039;t &quot;get&quot; that principle.  They seem to function best if they are angry at the world and the world is angry at them.  They thrive on it.  Perhaps there is still a need for &quot;charm school&quot;!! :)  Great post, Pierce!</description>

		<description>What a great reminder. So often I find that I am harder on others and tend to rationalize and cut myself some slack in the very same areas I might criticize others. When I catch myself doing that, it&#039;s incredibly humbling! It helps to spend some time in worship and reflection each day to recenter, refocus, and reconnect to the source of any good that might be in me. And it certainly helps to know that I am never alone in any endeavor.</description>

		<description>&quot;This phrase has been used to describe a characteristic of people who may be impressive at first, but after you get to know them, they are found to be shallow and unimaginative.&quot;  You, Pierce, are NOT mile wide...inch deep.  You&#039;re the real deal.  Great article, great title.  Inspirational.</description>

		<description>One of my mother&#039;s favorite sayings as I was growing up was: &quot;Smile &#039;til noon, and you&#039;ll smile all day.&quot; Her theory worked. Working at smiling definitely improves your attitude!</description>

		<description>Terry,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your comment. As far how to handle someone who does not listen and speaks over you, it comes down to what you expect from the relationship. If it is someone you want to do business with, then you may have to be patient and listen. Calling them out on their bad communication skills can only damage the relationship. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On the other hand, if this is a spouse, child or friend, you should pick a good opportunity to discuss this in a productive way so the relationship can grow without resentment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your question!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pierce</description>

		<description>Thanks for reminding us of what Dale Carnegie wrote Pierce! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m wondering how you handle it when people start speaking before you&#039;ve finished your sentence, even though you give them 70% of the speaking space? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do you call their attention to what they do?</description>

		<description>Joanne totally stole my line.  Integrity in everything isin&#039;t complicated, it&#039;s just really hard.  I like to remember that telling the truth means you never have to remember what you told one person or the next because you tell everyone the same thing.  I think telling the WHOLE truth in my dealings with clients, friends and MY WIFE is what I won&#039;t compromise.  There is no such thing as a half truth.  That&#039;s like being half pregnant or half married.</description>

		<description>It seems that every time I read your blogs, the subject is something Dan and I have recently talked about and mulled over.  (we do a lot of mulling!)........... Several years ago I bought Dan a big metal wall decoration that spelled out INTEGRITY .   Every time anyone walks into that office they can&#039;t help but see it.  It never ceases to amaze us how often people skirt the edge of what we term core values in so many areas of their lives.  A little white lie here, a breach of fidelity, a small act of cheating the system in some way.  I talked to a girl the other day who actually asks people coming out of the movie if they are finished with their bag and she goes and gets it refilled with fresh popcorn because the large bags are &quot;refills free&quot;.  Everyone else in the group laughed at her cleverness but I immediately saw into her true self.  Perhaps those little breaches of honor are what escalated into sending her to prison for many years.  Most people know right from wrong.  And Most people will find some way to justify their breaches of integrity. I so agree with you on the importance of this issue, Pierce.  Establishing one&#039;s core values is ESSENTIAL for success in every area of your life.  Good post!!!</description>

		<description>This is another good example of GREAT parenting!  I so remember the times we have been astounded to hear one of our kids use quotes and/or principles from gurus like Carnegie, Ziglar, Tracy, etc.  THESE are the principles that should be taught in our public schools.  And these are the principles which parents should be imparting to their young children.  You are doing them a great disservice if you think all they need is a college diploma to make them successful in life.  Bless you, Pierce.  Keep preachin&#039;!</description>

		<description>Thank you so much Joanne. I assume that we are all at different places in our journey. It is just like re-reading a book or scripture and it has a different or more pertinent meaning and application at that particular time in our life.&lt;br&gt;Definitely ready for our double-date!</description>

		<description>Thank you so much Joanne. I assume that we are all at different places in our journey. It is just like re-reading a book or scripture and it has a different or more pertinent meaning and application at that particular time in our life.&lt;br&gt;Definitely ready for our double-date!</description>

		<description>Wow! I am inspired by reading that Einstein quote.  Great blog, Pierce.  I thank you for the mention also.  When reading what you wrote it occurred to me that the difference between you and the others in that room who may have been bored or preoccupied is that you &quot;see&quot; opportunity in everything everyday.  You don&#039;t just wait for it to come slap you in the face. You search for it in everything you do. That is precisely why you will be many times more successful in every area of your life than most of those who didn&#039;t hear the beauty of the message being preached.  And something else that came through loud and clear from your message. You have your priorities in order. It is so obvious that your family is top priority.  That is critical to anyone&#039;s success.  You and Lesa and your boys are in the minority........the joy of life exude from all of you and that is what puts you in the fast-track of success and why people want to hang with you.  Ready for another dinner double-date??</description>

		<description>I am challenged and inspired by the people I choose to spend time around.  My friends are encouraging and empowering or I&#039;m not friends with them anymore.  Sounds snooty but it&#039;s true.  Life&#039;s too short to be around people who bring me down.  I do a good enough job of that myself usually.</description>

		<description>I sincerely believe the single greatest truth for delivering exceptional customer service is this: &lt;br&gt;realize that you are not doing your customer a favor by offering them your product! Realize that they chose to come to you over against offering their money to your competitor. Keep this mindset of knowing that it&#039;s an honor for someone to choose your business and you&#039;ll serve them well. - Jason Cruise</description>

		<description>The number one mistake is believing that people can&#039;t tell you&#039;re faking it.  People&#039;s &quot;junk&quot; meter is stronger than ever before.  They smell a fake and they smell intent.  Sales people who think they can &quot;fake it&quot; by being nice until they get the sale are just dead wrong.  Customers are more informed and more sensitive to faking it than ever before.</description>

		<description>I really needed to read this!  I am definitely a people person, but I often let life get in the way of my goals and dreams which in turn prevent me from having the success I am looking for.  I&#039;m going to print this out and keep it in front of me by putting it on my desk and in my day planner so I&#039;m always reminded of these 5 predictors!  Thanks, Leslie</description>

		<description>Hi Pierce,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your faithfulness and the subtle reminder.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As I am sure that you can too, I can think of a few folks who have had a string of false-starts where they looked at the bottom line first, before taking into account their best features and enduring qualities. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe that if people take the time to examine the gifts they have on the front-end, they will have more clarity as to the right type of opportunity for their personality style. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Pierce,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your faithfulness and the subtle reminder.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As I am sure that you can too, I can think of a few folks who have had a string of false-starts where they looked at the bottom line first, before taking into account their best features and enduring qualities. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe that if people take the time to examine the gifts they have on the front-end, they will have more clarity as to the right type of opportunity for their personality style. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Pierce,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Always good reading.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the most difficult things you can do is fire a client. It can be stomach turning and it&#039;s easy to find many things (anything really) to do instead of that. However, I knew it was necessary. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One gentleman that I can remember intellectually made the commitment to move forward in our coaching, but in his heart the commitment was not there. And as a result, he choose to not engage himself in the process of participation in coaching activities between sessions or active conversations during the sessions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I had to walk away after a couple of sessions for two reasons: he was not getting what he needed; it was a drain on my energy and sapped my enthusiasm which my other clients deserve.</description>

		<description>Good word brother. The best way to decide if email is appropriate or not is the moment I say to myself, &quot;I&#039;d rather write an email than call this person.&quot; Then I know I should call the person.</description>
