The Best Advice I’ve Ever Received

I just came across an article where 22 of the top executives in corporate America share the best advice they’ve ever received.  Outside of Napoleon Hill’s classic work, “The Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons”, you rarely see a compilation of wisdom this concise and powerful, so I thought I would share it, since I found it to be inspiring for my own purposes:

Virtual Conversations and Relationships

I’m breaking a rule I’m about to tell you about by writing this “formal” blog entry, but I like to monitor my posts on Facebook and Twitter to see what topics get the greatest reaction and response from my friends.  It is almost universally the case that causal questions and comments about life tend to have the most entertaining and responsive dialogues.  I get a decent response to my “authoritative” blog posts, but the real interaction tends to take place in casual tongue in cheek observations about life and human frailty.

Entitlement Mentality on the Web

When did we as people start to embrace the “entitlement mentality”, where whatever we want should be provided for free?  I don’t know the origins of this way of life, but I do see it making its way deeper into our culture with the most recent example coming from receiving free stuff on the Web.

Mastermind Groups Lead to Better Ideas

I have written and spoken frequently about the concept of “mastermind” groups, a concept first described in detail by Dr. Napoleon Hill, in his classic work, Think and Grow Rich.  In chapter 10 of the book, Dr. Hill talks about the fact that when people get together to discuss ideas in harmony with each other the collective energy of the group leads to those ideas becoming more powerful than when a single individual acts alone.
