Things To Do When Your Boss Is Out

On Friday we do things around here that are just for fun. There’s no rhyme or reason to what we post, it’s all pretty random and meant to put a smile on your mug.

I found this video a few days ago. It brought back memories of a few just for fun pranks I pulled while I was an intern during my college days.

Mr. Bean At The Olympic Opening Ceremony

It’s that time once again!

On Fridays I post videos, pictures, or statements that have nothing to do with Live It Forward, success, leadership, goals, or any of the other topics we discuss here. The only point…to spread a little cheer and put a smile on your face.

My family and I cracked up seeing Mr. Bean at the Olympic Opening Ceremony. No lie…we were in tears! If you haven’t seen it, check it out. If you have, watch it again. It definitely worth 5 minutes!

7 Keys To Success For Speakers

keys to success for speakers

Recently I shared a survey about fear. According to the survey, the activity people dread most is public speaking. This must mean I’m a bit “unusual” because I love public speaking! (FYI, a lot of people just call me “nuts.”)

If you are as unusual as I am and enjoy public speaking, perhaps you’d like to develop a revenue stream from speaking. If so, here are 7 keys to success for speakers that I follow.

By no means is this a comprehensive list. Instead, these 7 keys to success for speakers comprise a few basic principles a person must follow in order to book speaking engagements.

Learning From Serpents

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that the focus of this site is on success, leadership, goal setting, goal getting, and finding work you love. Therefore, I tend to stay away from sharing my view on politics (which are pretty strong) and my views on what it means to follow Jesus (which are even stronger).

At live events that Live It Forward hosts, like the Speak It Forward Boot Camp, you will likely hear my views on following Christ. The reason? I can look you eyeball-to-eyeball and we can have a thorough discussion about what it means to follow Christ.

With that said, a very good friend of mine just released his newest book. No one forces me to think more deeply about my life and the life of Christ than Rick Lawrence. Because of the depth of his writing and my friendship with him, I wanted to give him the opportunity to share his thoughts on his new book. Whether you are a Christ follower or not, this book would be well worth your read.

A Word From The Most Interesting Man In The World

I’m a HUGE Georgia Tech fan!

My wife and kids are also Georgia Tech fans. It’s sort of a prerequisite to being in the Julian family (otherwise, I might have to disown them). In fact, even our dog, who is a French Bulldog, is named “Georgia Techster Julian.” We call him “Techie” for short.

If you’re missing something, we love GT!

Of course, as true GT Jacket fans, we know a ton of UGA jokes (i.e. University of Georgia). Most UGA jokes have to do with the intelligence level, or should I say “the lack there of,” of UGA grads. It’s all in fun, of course…at least that’s what I keep telling my UGA friends.

Yesterday, one of my daughter’s found one of our favorites UGA jokes on a unique picture. After she texted this picture to me, I had a smile on my face all day long. Being the kind and generous blogger that I am, I had to share my joy with you.

So, enjoy the following hilarious and insightful word from The Most Interesting Man In The World.
