  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Check Out Your Business MIND


suicide rates per 100,000 people

Coincidence is Gods way of …, or whichever of the sayings you believe in, can certainly be invoked here today. While we have two training sessions in the 12SC Training Room today and even though neither person has coordinated with the other; both deal with the ultimate part of the Success Equation: Our Minds and how to program same. The two choices we have are, Success or Failure. Unless we give it a conscious effort, we have already been programmed to fail. We are bombarded daily via all things external to our bodies to fail. Failure sells everything from; aspirin to Laxatives, Newspapers to Cosmetics and Diet Plans. Commercials tout how to recover from or prepare for: a failure. “Whatever you are doing will fail and you should try this”. Is it any wonder that the suicide rate is skyrocketing out of control? Instead of embracing behaviors that are success oriented and time tested to work, we tend to want do things our way, which have never worked. I maintain that mans greatest enemy’s are:

1. Envy

2. Pride

3. Greed

4. Jealousy

Put these mental attitudes under control and watch major and significant changes occur in your life and the lives of people you interact with on a regular basis. I am just keeping it real. If there is a theory or methodology advanced to get something done and YOU decide not to embrace it, why will you in turn, attempt to huff and puff and point at someone else as the cause of your failure? We are usually our own worst enemy in our action, as well as speech and deed, or the lack thereof. I believe we could all benefit well from a moratorium on speaking and a determined effort to listen more. I further believe that if we are doing business from home or from anywhere else, we need to remember that our customers/prospects are in the driver’s seats and we are trying to get a ride to the bank.

That is what I think, please tell me your thoughts on this?
