Great Client Quotes: ADDers

"I've read recently on a couple of blogs that the term "ADDer" has been deemed offensive by some folks...As you might expect, I also have an opinion on the subject: if you're looking for a cause to fight for, this isn't a worthy one."

Sound Advice for Achieving Goals

Today's the big day - the Pennsylvania Primaries! I'm already excited and you can bet that I'll be glued to the television tonight.

While we wait for the results, I thought I'd share some words of wisdom that I received in an email last week from none other than Bill Clinton. (More likely someone in Hillary's campaign pretending to be Bill, but whatever.)

I'm going to give you the same advice I give to Hillary: block out the distractions -- the skeptics, the media coverage, the beltway chatter -- and keep your eyes on the prize.

With the news media constantly poring over the minutiae of the campaign, I make sure Hillary never forgets to stay focused on what matters: telling every last American about her vision, her experience, and her commitment to bringing real change to people's lives.
[bolds are my emphasis]

Sound advice, no matter what your goal.

Great Quote: What Others Might Think

This week I found myself sharing a particular quote with a number of clients who were struggling with issues of criticism and judgment from others. This quote is attributed to my friend and fellow MasterMinder, Chris Barrow, and it goes like this:

In life, some people will love you, some will hate you, and most won't give a shit either way.

Very true, and always helpful to remember when you find yourself fearful of what others might think.
