Sharing Morning Ritual Ideas In September I was featured on a webinar hosted by my Financial Advisor recruiter friend Mark Elzweig about the importance of having a Morning Ritual to start each day. Here's a link to a replay of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ar1VPOWV4

My Rides to Fight Cancer I bicycled over 200 miles last month, and thanks to my donors, I raised over $1,000 to fight kids' cancer in The Great Cycle Challenge. You can still donate here: https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Donate/Rider/1295476 🚴

Senseless I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was but I was saddened to learn of his death. There is no place in this country for shooting people who disagree with any particular viewpoint -- it's UN-American. C'mon people -- we've got to be better than this. 🇺🇸

October Baseball Returns to Wrigley! The Cubs clinched a wild card spot for the first time since 2020. They'll have home field advantage in the first round, but we all want more, like a World Series RING. 💍 (Even Da Bearz got a couple of wins. 🏈 )

War, Continued Israel 🇮🇱 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 continue their battles to establish peace in their countries. Global democracy is at stake here -- it matters to all of us. For humanitarian aid you can donate to the neutral International Red Cross here. ❤️

Book Recommendations I read 50+ non-fiction books a year -- it's where I find ideas to help my clients grow their business. Below are the ones I read this past month.

Every Purchase Matters: How Fair Trade Farmers, Companies, and Consumers Are Changing the World You can make a difference with your purchases by buying Fair Trade certified items that help the people who grow your food and make your clothes.

Operation Solo: The FBI's Man in the Kremlin How the FBI planted "Agent 58" in the 1950s thru the 1970s, who gained the trust of the world's top Communist leaders to learn their secrets. If you like spy stories this one has top-notch suspense.

The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century: Why (Almost) Everything We Are Told About Business Is Wrong This describes how business evolved from corporate hierarchies to creating "shareholder value" to coordinated knowledge work.

The Outward Path The Wisdom of the Aztecs In contrast to both Eastern and Western philosophy of inner-directedness, the Aztecs believed in relational self-development.

Financial Advisors I coach Financial Advisors around the country to help them grow their clientele. I always want to meet FA's, branch managers and/or fund wholesalers anywhere in the US. Your introductions are greatly appreciated. 

Audio Recommendation Want great ideas from Earl Nightingale, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins and other personal development superstars? You can always go to Nightingale.com for hundreds of hours of motivational/inspirational/educational audios to help you stay on track with success.

Contribution  There are lots of ways you can "Pay It Forward" for good karma. If you want to contribute to a military veteran's transition to a civilian job like I do, sign on as a mentor with ACP American Corporate Partners Mentoring Program. Also, the American Red Cross will always welcome you to donate blood. 👍

Healing Thoughts If you would be so kind, please take a moment to send healing energy as I do daily to individuals you know who have serious health challenges or are dealing with difficult circumstances. Every positive thought helps, thanks. 🙏
