Make Hay While The Sun Shines
May 28th, 2020 // 2:04 pm @ Scott Manning
You’ve heard the expression, you might have said it before, your parents, your parents’ parents, and so on and so forth. As you go back in generations I’d guess the saying was more common than it might be today. The simple point: make the most of an opportunity while it lasts. I’m sure the other principle […]

Resist The Urge
May 21st, 2020 // 11:02 am @ Scott Manning
I challenge you to not give up your control, to think free, to choose your own approach to life and business and otherwise. What else is the point? You aren’t here to become someone else’s puppet. Let me ask you a question: are you a conformist? Or are you a creator, an originator, a freethinker? I can […]

Danger and Opportunity
May 15th, 2020 // 10:51 am @ Scott Manning
One of the things I learned very early on in life (mostly through my martial arts teachings and training of students), is that we all go through very similar experiences but just process them quite differently. Death, divorce, tragedy, triumph, challenges, loss, gain, disappointment, success, accidents, achievements, love, hate, etc. If they didn’t happen to […]

Tapping Into The Power of Your Past
May 7th, 2020 // 1:34 pm @ Scott Manning
Recently, I was talking with my Grandmaster from Martial Arts (who is like a father to me), and we were discussing the implications and societal dynamics of any crisis. Of course, in particular we focused on this current crisis; whether you consider the coronavirus, the lockdown, the economic shutdown, or perhaps all of the above as […]

Motion Beats Meditation
April 30th, 2020 // 1:02 pm @ Scott Manning
I’ve heard this saying so many times I forget who to credit. To be clear, meditation is a very powerful thing, you just can’t stop there. Over the past several weeks, you’ve had a lot of time to ‘meditate,’ think, reflect, ponder, and assess everything – life, business, health, wealth, relationships, and so much more. […]

“Re” Everything
April 23rd, 2020 // 11:16 am @ Scott Manning
Imagine how you would feel if someone told you there will be a point in your life where you would be able to almost literally hit the pause button – have almost everything and everyone around you stop and freeze; giving you a chance to take a look around to assess where and who you […]

The Business Owner’s Greatest Responsibility
April 9th, 2020 // 1:00 pm @ Scott Manning
Picking up from last week on mitigation, a term thrown around by the CDC related to the spread of the virus. Anything ‘negative’ that happens to your business, you want to mitigate the damage but most people do it to the detriment of the health of their business because they are focused on the source of […]

Don’t Be Fooled…
April 1st, 2020 // 2:21 pm @ Scott Manning
No doubt, Coronavirus is not a joking matter. So, we’ve got to save the April Fool’s stuff for another year. That said, there is a responsible way to approach this crisis from a business perspective and it’s not what you’ll immediate think. I’ll share over the next couple of weeks how to remain wise and […]

No Different
March 26th, 2020 // 12:55 pm @ Scott Manning
I was thinking of what I should write about today. One might think, given the circumstances, there would be so much. Yet, it is all more of the same out there and I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to talk about everything everyone else is. You don’t tune in here to get […]

Leading or Losing
March 19th, 2020 // 1:45 pm @ Scott Manning
Right now you have a choice. To throw your hands up and be helpless or to do something meaningful and proactive. It is supposed to be that the worst of times bring out the best in people. Put your creative minds to work and you can figure this out. I have seen fine dining restaurants […]
