- This Little Light Of Mine
Send us Fan Mail
It is more important than ever to be a light in the darkness. Don't absorb the lights of others, rather reflect it and make the world a brighter place.
"As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way."
Mary Anne Radmacher11 min - Don't Get Above Your Raising

Be confident, but don't be arrogant. Be kind, but don't be a doormat. Humility is the fine line between these. It is as simple as always being grateful for what we have and recognizing that we ALL have equal value. So always treat others as equals and never allow anyone to treat you as less. Stay humble!
"To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness" Benjamin Franklin10 min - The Courage Of An Ant

We all have the choice of reaching our destiny or dieing a dreamer. The easiest thing to do is not succeed. It takes courage to succeed. Taking the first step into the unknown is the scariest part, but that may just be the first step toward a wonderful destiny.
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” ~ Walt Disney12 min - When You Are At A Crossroad Turn Or Go Straight
Send us Fan Mail
When standing at a crossroad wondering which way to go, the most important thing is that we GO. Each direction has its own risk and rewards and it can be very difficult to decide sometimes, but the only wrong decision is to not move at all.
Listen to your heart because the answer is already in it!14 min - Don't Believe Everything You Think

If we believe everything we think, we are fooling ourselves. However, if we understand the amazing impact of our thinking and the thoughts of others we can create great success.
In this world of unreliable and conflicting news media, it is very important that we gather facts and form our own truth.
“It is not disbelief that is dangerous to our society, it is belief” - George Bernard Shaw

What we see is not what we're looking at, rather it’s where we’re looking from. It’s called our perspective and we all have our own individual perspective based on who we are and where we came from.
Perspective is the only thing greater than the facts themselves. With a slight change in our perspective we can greatly change the outcome of anything and have far more success in business and all aspects of our lives.
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.” ― Alphonse Karr12 min - A Wink Is As Good As A Nod To A Blind Mule

About Blue Collar Executive
From the publisher's feed
Achieve your destiny and be successful at any level by staying rooted in a strong work ethic, determination, and integrity. My Mom and Dad were factory workers and generations before them were…
farmers or coal miners. My path took me in a business direction, but it was still the work ethics and values of my blue collar roots that helped me reach top executive levels. My Dad was a man of few words, but as I navigated through my career I could always find the answers I needed in the subtle things he said or did. I believe these nuggets can help anyone achieve any level of success they desire and I want to share them. I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing. So I am going to share them in this weekly podcast in hopes someone finds them valuable or at least entertaining. It doesn't matter what color your collar is. We all have gifts and a purpose. None more important than the other. The important thing is that we all reach our full potential and be the best we can be.
