My most productive & fulfilling days are when I shift from trying to do lots of things & focus on doing fewer tasks with greater excellence.

Vengeance is God's because His perspective is perfect. He sees the heart, weighs motives & disciplines as He sees fit. Let Him do His job.

Talent without humility becomes arrogance. Wisdom without humility becomes conceit. Humility never comes naturally, it must be cultivated.

Personal development is a leadership non-negotiable. There is no way a leader can go the way and show the way until he first knows the way.

Perhaps the best way to hear from God concerning what you are to do next is to do the last thing He told you that you haven't done yet.

An Rx for the “Ashamed Generation”
Posted on January 25, 2012 at 9:00am 4 Comments 18 Promotions
An entire chapter in my book, Up Your Business, addressed the dangers of entitlement within organizations and offered remedies for weeding it out. In If You Don’t Make Waves You’ll Drown I presented ten strategies to combat the negative impact political correctness has on high performance business cultures. After watching trending cultural currents in recent months I am presenting additional strategies to explain how to survive and prosper despite the encroachment of a force as…
Continue The Lost Art of Taking Personal Responsibility

For decades, I’ve written extensively about discipline, accountability, focusing on what you can control, and taking personal responsibility rather than blaming. These are principles I have personally embraced and applied in my life to prevail through tough times.
In the early 80’s I worked in my parents’ restaurant business that failed. It was in the midst of 20+% interest rates, 10% inflation, and unemployment as high as today. I held three jobs to make ends meet,…

In a previous blog post, I presented three of six common temptations of successful organizations outlined in my book, Up Your Business. I asserted that since prosperity can drain urgency, dealerships doing well should be aware of the tendency to let up in key disciplines that made them successful in the first place. They were:
- The temptation to stop working on yourself.
- The temptation to stop thinking big.

Posted on October 10, 2011 at 2:23pm 15 Comments 7 Promotions
In 2003, my book, Up Your Business: Seven Steps to Fix, Build or Stretch Your Organization was published. Fortunately, the book did well and my publisher wanted me to write a revised, expanded version, which they published in 2007. The book does not promote fads, but timeless principles, and thus it continues to sell well today. As evidence that principles can transcend borders and cultures, Up Your Business has been translated into several languages including Russian and…

Hi Dave,
I had the pleasure of hearing you a few years ago in Seattle WA at a Chevrolet SeaFair kickoff brunch sponsored by the Puget Sound Chevrolet Dealers. I transcribed my notes of your meeting and shared them with ownership. I found your presentation to be information rich, comprehensive, practical and most important founded in core values and principles. Thank you for your contribution to my life as well as the auto industry.
