Blog postIt’s pretty clear that 2021 is going to be a busy year for doing weddings. The latest release of The Knot 2020 Real Weddings Study [COVID-19 Edition] shows that nearly half the weddings from 2020 were postponed, most of those to 2021. When you take all of those weddings on top of the weddings that were already scheduled for this year, it’s shaping up to be the busiest wedding year in our lifetimes, if not ever. Yeah, after last year that’s a welcome stat. The other side of that, of course, is

Blog postSaying that 2020 is a year that most of us would like to forget is a statement of the obvious. It’s always easier to look at the negative that’s in front of us, but there have been some bright spots. I’ll agree that finding those bright spots is sometimes hard when the dark cloud looms large. There are always things to be grateful for, if you’ll focus your attention on them. I’m grateful to speak with my 90-year old Dad every morning. Hearing his voice and knowing he’s safe and healthy is a g

Blog postDoes it ‘feel’ right? Does it pass the smell-test? Do you get the warm and fuzzies? Or, do you have to have the data to support every decision? We all make decisions our own way, and not every decision is made the same way. How do you make your decisions? Do you like to do your research, map out a plan, check and recheck before acting? Or, do you jump right in because your gut tells you it’s the right thing to do?
I’ve been framed! When we make a decision, we use -
Blog postWhen newlyweds and engaged couples ask about the secret to our happy marriage, I often half-joke it’s that I accept that it’s always my fault. That’s usually good for a chuckle, but I said “half-joke.” A younger me didn’t understand the power of accepting responsibility. A younger me had a strong need to be right. Don’t get me wrong, I still like to be right… I just don’t have to be right all the time. It’s a very liberating state of being.
I’d rather be happy I’ve been known to say t -
Blog postWhat is the new normal? After every major event we hear about “the new normal,” but what does that really mean? What is normal? Normal is what feels comfortable. Normal is what feels effortless. Is that really normal? Life isn’t always comfortable or effortless, regardless of what’s going on around us. If there’s anything we can count on, it’s that life will throw us curveballs, usually at the most inopportune time. So why don’t we talk about the new normal when the economy is humming along?

Blog postDoes it feel like every day is the same, or is it just me? Sometimes I forget what day of the week it is, or the date, and no, I don’t think it’s just my age, or suffering from what we like to call “CRS” – Can’t Remember S… (you decide what comes next). I’m just not used to being home this much, and there was more of a variety in my schedule on the road. To be fair, when I was traveling a lot I often didn’t know what day of the week it was, either (CRS?). But this feels different.

Blog postRunning a business is like running a marathon, or maybe an ultra-marathon. You need to develop the skills and stamina to keep going. Those skills are the technical skills of your craft, as well as the business skills to make it profitable and successful. Surely the current conditions have thrown a wrench into your race. And in the actual running world, even the NY City and Boston marathons have been canceled. The difference is that those canceled races will never happen. They’re not

Blog postThere’s a lot of discussion these days around leadership, and No, this is not a political post. Families need leadership. Schools need leadership. Religious groups need leadership. Businesses need leadership. And yes, Governments need leadership. So, what’s the difference between leadership and management?
The view is different, depending upon where you’re sitting I’ve been a worker, a manager, and a leader. These are very different roles. Much to -
Blog postI don’t have to tell you that these are unprecedented times, you’re living through this craziness, too. Being a glass-half-full kind of guy, I like to look for the silver linings. One of the positive things that could come out of this is that many of you will become really good at selling remotely (which I prefer to call it, rather than virtual sales). And when things go to the new normal (notice I didn’t say go back to the way they were, because they’re not going to), the wedding a
