My friend Andy Traub founder of MoreProfitTechnology.com sent a great podcast from Nuclearity on wired strengths of adults and children including Jon Foreman of switchfoot.

Not only does God have a plan and purpose for our lives, he provides the corresponding strengths

as well!

Celebrate the last days of summer with a bang with these fun summer activities!

As the summer winds down and comes to an end, don’t let these days get by without making some memories. Be creative and teach your kids what “fun” really means. Teach them that Mom and Dad really were kids once too. Show them the wrinkles that gather around your lips and the crows feet that extend from the corners of your eyes when you smile your biggest grin and laugh till you cry. I know that even though the kids don’t have to go to school tomorrow that you still have to get up and go to work… Continue

I'll wash your mouth out!

Does your child use words that shouldn’t be used by a 10 years old. When angry or frustrated, do you hear him utter, under his breath, choice words that are less than desirable? Did your kids come home from school the other day and while in casual conversation blurt out a bit of profanity that you were not aware they even knew? Take control! Lead them to use successful language that builds up others and promotes happiness and healthy living.

Let’s be honest for a moment. Those words… Continue

Give them choices

Religiously, I believe that one of the most important principles and rights that our creator has endowed us with on Earth is Agency or the power to choose. I believe that God gave all men the freedom to act for himself or herself, but that our decisions are not without consequences. Every choice has a cost and influences both ourselves and others.

As a parent we are given a sacred trust to teach our children to use their freedom of choice wisely… Continue

The Art Of ‘Re-Calibration’

It is important that we teach our children that true success does not mean the absence of mistakes.

Mistakes are inevitable, they are a part of our lives, our humanity.

Great leaders were and are not perfect people, we all have flaws and make mistakes. Whether its King David from the bible or how about when Thomas Watson chairman of IBM said in 1943 "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”.

Heck we all make… Continue
