Many years ago, one of my mentors, Sheldon Detrick (Tulsa, OK), once told me that if you ever want to get anywhere in life, you must consistently "put something back!" By that, he meant that you must share what you know to help others; become involved in groups and organizations that give you the opportunity to mutually exchange ideas and concepts.

I believed him and it has worked for me. Shel also taught me that you cannot help others, you can only help them help themselves. You can only share what you know with others and "they" must DO something with the information.

My purpose in life is to "Help Others Help Themselves!"

I have since come to believe that knowledge is only power if you do something with it. Otherwise you will only know and never do. That will never get you very far.

Perhaps one of the most inspiring ideas of the decade is to "Pay It Forward." Telling your author/speaker friends about this special Website is a great way to begin. To grasp the concept, read my review of the movie, "Pay It Forward."

I hope you will willingly share your ideas, tips, suggestions and let me know if there is something special you would like to see featured on this site. Use this site to network for the resources you need to get you started and keep you going!

I wish you much success on your journey.
