What if?
What if I lose my job?
What if my unemployment benefits end?
What if I can’t find a job making what I made last year?
What if I am unemployed for a year? For two years? Three years?
What if this? What if that? What if your life is being driven by worry and uncertainty?

Course Correction
When I was growing up my parents had a 14′ Hobie Cat. We used to take it to Grey’s Lake in Des Moines. Once a summer dad would affix the boat to the roof (yes, the roof) of our 1972 Grand Torino station wagon and haul us to Clear Lake, Iowa for a week of [...]

Controlling the controlables…
If you wanted to read That Job Guy Dot Com last week you were out of luck. This site is generously hosted by a friend who had some technical stuff change. Don’t ask me what it was, it had to do with the IP address from his provider. That cascaded into some changes I needed [...]

Second Place
In sports there’s a phrase: “Second Place is the first loser”. Although harsh, this is the reality – there can be only one winner. Vince Lombardi’s most famous quote is “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing“.

Getting Back to the Basics
I think sometimes we make our lives too complicated. We sweat over small details that in the grand scheme of things don’t really make a bit of difference. I used to obsess about keeping my car clean, and it drove me nuts when it rained anytime within a week of washing it. But, dirty or [...]

Lucky or Good?
I was in a sales meeting years ago. This was my first job out of college. I had been selling pianos for maybe 4 years at this point. The owner of the company came in and asked us “Would you rather be lucky or good?”. I said “I’d rather be good”. He handed me a [...]

Hi! May I help you?
If you’re in Kansas City, and you’ve eaten at Gates, you’ve heard that phrase. It’s part of their brand. You walk in the door and hear the refrain “Hi – May I Help You” over and over. It’s not “Hello, may I be of service” or “Hi, what can I get you”. Its ALWAYS say [...]

Memorial Day Weekend
On Monday we’re going to celebrate our 142nd official Memorial Day. Many people look at this upcoming holiday as the “official” start to summer and spend the weekend camping, boating, and generally enjoying the 3 day weekend. Originally known as “decoration day” Memorial Day is set aside as a day when we think about all [...]
