Success Skills Coach- NOVEMBER 2025
Free At Last! I felt great relief at watching the return of hostages to Israel last month. I give President Donald Trump credit for spearheading the process that led to their release and applaud his ongoing commitment to bring peace to the region. Next up: Perhaps he can facilitate ending the war in Ukraine — stay tuned.
Heal With Music Health care professionals are finding that listening to your favorite music can help ease the level of pain you experience from illness or surgery. So the next time you’re hurting, don’t die — just play Dead.
Age is Just a Number Kudos to granny Natalie Grabow. She completed an IronMan Triathlon, swimming 2.4 miles, then cycling 112 miles and then immediately running a full 26.2-mile marathon. at age EIGHTY!!! (Heck — I never even drive that far!)
Step Aside Babe Before the NLCS there may have still been a debate over who was the best combo pitcher/hitter in MLB history, Babe Ruth or Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani ended that conversation with his Game 4 performance: He struck out 10 over 6 innings and hit 3 home runs (!). Worth every penny of his $700 million dollar contract, no?
War, Continued Israel 🇮🇱 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 continue their battles to establish peace in their countries. Global democracy is at stake here — it matters to all of us. For humanitarian aid you can donate to the neutral International Red Cross here.
Book Recommendations I read 50+ non-fiction books a year — it’s where I find ideas to help my clients grow their business. Below are the ones I read this past month.
There’s Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift I’m no Swiftie, but there’s no denying that Taylor Swift has shown the creativity, drive and business savvy of a truly great artist since her 2006 debut album. She completed a record-setting Eras Tour in December ’24, connecting to her millions of her global fans, and she’s only 35.
The Bright Side: How Optimists Change the World, and How You Can Be One Despite the media’s negative focus, our lives have objectively never been better. So it pays in terms of happiness to see our glass as half-full without being Panglossian.
Gambling Man: The Secret Story of the World’s Greatest Disruptor You may not have heard of Masayoshi Son but he’s the founder of the multi-TRILLION dollar SoftBank Group, making literally hundreds of start-up investments over the past 30 years.
Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions Here are three ways to help you decide your best options: Be someone different, be somewhere different and be at some different time — it’s all explained within.
The Happiness Experiment: A Revolutionary Way to Increase Happiness Imagine giving the bequests in your will in advance as a “prequest,” enriching other people while you’re still alive instead of after you’re gone. Interesting concept, no?
Financial Advisors: I coach Financial Advisors around the country to help them grow their clientele. I always want to meet FA’s, branch managers and/or fund wholesalers anywhere in the US. Your introductions are greatly appreciated.
Audio Recommendation: Want great ideas from Earl Nightingale, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins and other personal development superstars? You can always go to Nightingale.com for hundreds of hours of motivational / inspirational / educational audios to help you stay on track with success.
Contribution: There are lots of ways you can “Pay It Forward” for good karma. If you want to contribute to a military veteran’s transition to a civilian job like I do, sign on as an advisor with ACP AdvisorNet.org. Also, the American Red Cross will always welcome you to donate blood.
Healing Thoughts: If you would be so kind, please take a moment to send healing energy as I do daily to individuals you know who have serious health challenges or are dealing with difficult circumstances. Every positive thought helps, thanks.
