Welcome to the ProActive Burning Questions Blog:
Where do you get your best ideas?
Some get insights and moments of brilliance while walking, in nature, or meditating. I happen to get mine around water. I have been told one of my biggest gifts is the ability to come up with million dollar ideas. And being in or near water is where I get a lot of them. So I have decided to use the hot tub metaphor as the focus of this blog (You can hear it now: Eddie Murphy playing James Brown on Saturday Night Live singing "Too Hot in the Hot Tub"). To help handle the heat and get the burn back in the belly, I encourage you to participate with me by asking your Burning Questions or providing answers to mine. Stay tuned for future Hot Tub Hot Seats where I will show case studies and have fun with the Hot Tub Homework. ENJOY!
What kind of chocolate is your business?

If your business (or life) were a chocolate, what kind would it be?
One of my high level mentors, Nido Qubein, would often challenge us to decipher if our business was a Hershy Kiss or a Godiva.
He challenged us to consider what we do with each. We tend to buy the Kiss’s in bulk, open them on the drive home stuff coffee mugs with them as a gift. Read the rest of this entry »
“V” stands for “Values”!
Posted on February-15-2012 by admin
What are your core values?
Identify these & align everything else with them and you will be guaranteed to move forward in the direction you wish to go.
Your values tend to have been present in you when you were 8. Write out 10 times in your life when you were involved in something that you just didn’t want to stop, the time flew by. These are “On Purpose” events.
Write out what you were doing during these events, who was present, what qualities they posessed and any other details. Then go over the 10 experiences and circle any similarities, common themes or descriptions. These words tend to be your values. Pick your top 4
– the ones that you couldn’t live without or the ones that allow the others to occur.
Post your values on a post-it, recipe card or collage and ask: “Do each of my goals align with my values?” If not, then reassess your goals! Then you will feel in full integrity and your goals will be much easier to achieve.
Your values serve as a great decision tool as well. When you are faced with tough decisions, ask yourself: “Is this in line with my values?” If not, then it is an easy decision. Saving you time, money and energy.

Motivational Quote
The best of all leaders is the one who helps people so that eventually, they don't need them. Then comes the one they love and admire. Then comes the one they fear. The worst is the one who lets people push them around. Where there is not trust, people will act in bad faith. The best leader doesn't say much, but what they say carries weight. When they are finished with their work the people say: "It happened naturally."
--Lao Tzu
"As a direct result of my work with ProActive Business Leadership, I found my income has grown 10 times, my staff is the most stable I have ever had and we are working towards continued client appreciation events that lead to continued introductions that will guarantee future business stability."
--Gilles Saucier, President, Gilden Financial Solutions
