I'm excited for my new book, LeaderShift, and I think it’s incredibly important. As my co-author, business leader Orrin Woodward, put it: “Washington D.C. isn’t going to fix its problems anytime soon, so things are going to get worse in our politics and the economy until real leadership is found outside of government.” In short, it’s … [Read more...]

Two weeks from now we’ll know. Once and for all, we’ll see where the nation is headed for the next four years. It may seem like a little thing, but it isn’t.

A Sixth Branch of Government
March 4, 2013 by 2 Comments
Many Americans now feel that Washington is broken, that there is some unidentified, underlying problem with our nation that can't be fixed by elections. Voters put Democrats in power, then Republicans, but still the problems grow and Washington becomes more and more dysfunctional. We know something is wrong, but we aren't sure what to … [Read more...]

The Republican Presidential Candidate of 2016
February 13, 2013 by 1 Comment
Conservatives keep saying two things in the aftermath of losing the 2012 presidential election to Barack Obama. First, they talk a lot about the 2016 election, but there is no real front runner to be the Republican candidate. In fact, the few people who are mentioned as possible nominees aren’t drumming up much excitement. But the second … [Read more...]
Middle Class Squeeze Part II: America and the Entrepreneur
February 12, 2013 by Leave a Comment
The working middle class dreams of an actual meritocracy, where performance is rewarded regardless of race, creed, or color. The American ideals were birthed as a level playing field, rewarding people based upon their contributions, not their social status or credentials. The American Dream promised: Do a little, receive a little; do a lot, … [Read more...]
Two Types of Republicans and Rising Socialism in America
February 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
The future of America depends on the House of Representatives. If it goes along with the Obama Administration’s plans, we’ll see major changes in the next four years, and the move toward socialistic policies will be as momentous as the swing to the right under Ronald Reagan.

The Drift to Totalitarianism
January 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Earlier today, while writing on my corporate HR Toolbox blog, I read an extended quote from Gustav Cassel. His thoughts on the drift towards totalitarianism that every country experiences with the initiation of economic controls aligned perfectly with the Five Laws of Decline (FLD), which I first disclosed in my book RESOLVED: 13 Resolutions for … [Read more...]
American Government Righting Sports Wrongs – NBA Stimulus Package
January 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Warning: This is humor and is meant to be funny and teach some lessons before it is too late! This is not slanted toward either Democrats or Republicans, as I feel they have both let the American people down and have lost our free enterprise American Ideals!
