The Genius of Detail

There is genius in attention to detail. Little things make big things happen.

Stop Thinking About Winning!

Think about something you’d love to win: a championship, a job, etc. Now that you’ve thought of it, stop thinking about winning and start doing. This advice comes from Dr. Rob Bell in an article titled “How To Focus on the Process of Winning.” And here’s a tip of the hat to ex-NHL player Warren […]

When Teams Try to Lose

Circus Impossible

Genius is seeing what everyone else thinks and thinking what no one else does. That can be you.
