Change-Point to the Destination
When you are trying to START something new it is very important to point out the destination. That destination needs to be very specific and clear. Don’t worry about the middle part of the journey it is probably going to be somewhat unpredictable. Look to START and keep focused on the destination.
January 30-Heineken Light
I am sampling another “light” beer out of Holland today. Heineken Light is okay Only one more day left in January and I hope I can find something special to end the month tomorrow. I will give Heineken credit their ads sometimes rival major movie studio productions. Link below http://www.heineken.com/us/our-ads/the-date.aspx
January 29-Harp Lager
As bland as yesterday’s choice of Bud Light was today I enjoyed a pale lager that had some quality. The beer is from Ireland and is called Harp Lager it is 4.3% ABV which is comprable to American light beers but has a nice flavor. Harp is part of the Guiness Brewing Family http://www.diageo.com/
January 28-Bud Light
There is nothing I can write about Bud Light that will be special except to say they spend lots of money on advertising. Since this is Super Bowl week we will probably see something from them during the game on Sunday. I have posted a link to some Bud Light Ads below. We are under a […]
Move away from Average-START changing your default settings
I am convinced that humans come with default settings. Our default setting is average. Average is comfortable-average is familiar and often times you can do average on autopilot. That is why when you START something new it takes us out of that default setting. It takes us from being comfortable-it takes us from feeling […]

It is a military book filled with wonderful leadership lessons. The one I really liked was about what Craig learned […]
Running with Chicago
Tonight on my run I went ahead and listened to Chicago and since I work at a university the lyrics to the song Dialogue caught my attention. Are you optimistic ’bout the way things are going? No, I never ever think of it at all Don’t you ever worry When you see what’s going down? […]
January 26-Carta Blanca
Went for a Sunday run before dinner. Pulled out a mexican beer that I had seen in local beer/wine shop but never had before. I am afraid that my first encounter with Carta Blanca will be my last. Flavorless and flat are my two best one word descriptors. Come on Mexico you are better […]
January 25-Erdinger Weissbier
Had Erdinger Weissbier on draft in a little hole in the wall establishment called “O”Donnell’s Pub” in Southern Pines, NC. Unbeknownst to me Erdinger is the largest producer of wheat beer in the world. If you are the world’s largest I guess you can find a way to a little dive bar in the Sandhills of North Carolina. It […]
