A couple of weeks ago, a few of us had lunch with the incredible president of World Vision and author of The Hole In Our Gospel, Richard Stearns. I can tell you that he impresses me! Not only is he a talented and intelligent man, but his heart for the suffering is out of this

One of the quotes I share in EntreLeadership-Chris LoCurto (ECL) is from Jack London – “You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club!” Last week I spoke to another sold out ECL crowd. The room was full of business leaders and owners who have made the decision that they

The Census Bureau recently reported that over 98.3% of all businesses employ fewer than 100 people.
