Elementary Mr. Watson: How to Reinvent Your Professional Journey
12/18/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonThe end of the year is the perfect time to reflect and embrace the significance of this moment.

It’s Only Common Sense: You’ve Got to Hustle
12/16/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWe can’t control many things: the economy, what our competitors are doing, and even sometimes what our customers think.

Let’s get something straight immediately: There are no shortcuts in sales. There’s no magic formula that will allow you to succeed without putting in the effort. The idea that working smarter can replace hard work is a myth. It’s not one or the other. It’s both. Working harder and smarter is the only way to win.

It might not sound glamorous, but consistency is the real game-changer.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/29/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007If you’re in the U.S. today, odds are you’re at home enjoying the aftermath of a Thanksgiving holiday meal. Let me just say that whether you had a Thanksgiving holiday surrounded by family, friends, or both, I hope it was joyous. If you know someone who doesn’t have friends or family with whom to share this time, please reach out and include them. Chronic loneliness can exact a measurable toll on our mental and physical health. Wherever you are on the globe this holiday season, I encourage you to reach out to someone who might be battling loneliness and connect. It will make a difference to them. Not only will it help get you in the mood for your winter holiday of choice, but it’ll be good for your mental health as well.

12/02/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWe all love the comfort zone. It’s safe, familiar, and predictable. But in business, staying too comfortable can be your biggest enemy. The world is constantly changing, and you're falling behind if you’re not adapting. It’s only common sense: If you want to grow, you have to move beyond your comfort zone.
