Why are core values critical to our success in business and in life? Because our values are critical guides for making important decisions. And when in doubt they cut through the fog like a beacon in the night.

John Blumberg has written the best book we’ve ever read on how we build value…with values. And if there was ever a time in the history of this great country that we need to re-visit our core values…the time is NOW.

Enjoy an excerpt from John’s book, Good to the Core…Building Value with Values.

An Excerpt from
Good to the Core
by John Blumberg

U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
.
I was in Honolulu to speak at a large national conference. I scheduled an extra day onto the trip since I had never been to Honolulu and because a few great friends were also at the conference. The day after the conference, we awoke at the crack of dawn to visit Pearl Harbor. As we stood above and looked down upon the sunken USS Arizona, the depth of our experience came to life. It was moving and humbling.
.
Upon our return to the hotel, I had some time to spare before departing to the airport. A couple of my friends and I decided to rent a raft large enough to hold three adults. We targeted the white-capped waves, out in the distance, as our destination. With the incoming waves, we had a hard time getting away from the shore. At first, there seemed to be enormous momentum keeping us “grounded.” Slowly, but surely, we began to make progress. It seemed to get easier. We eventually got within a few feet of the whitecaps and decided to board our raft and relax as a celebration of our efforts. It was in our moment of pause that we felt the reality

Peter Drucker once said, “It is easier to come up with new ideas than it is to…let go of the old ones.” I couldn’t agree more! That comfort zone is…well, pretty comforting for all of us.

At first, 10-year-old Hollie had trouble dancing, but then she started to sing. » Better than Boyle, Shaheen?

I don’t know about you, but I’m already sick of Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent. And I don’t even live in Britain! I’ve just reached my Boyling point with her.
Well, it does seem now that the population of Britain agrees with me, at least, because U.K. viewers’ fickle attention has already turned first to younger and cuter 12-year-old Britain’s Got Talent hopeful Shaheen Jafargholi and then, as of last night, to the even younger and cuter 10-year-old singing ballerina, Hollie Steel.
Hollie’s performance on Britain’s runaway-hit talent show is the latest Interweb sensation after airing on U.K. television yesterday, and along with the obvious

Aligning Actions And Words
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
..
Words carry a lot of weight in this world, from how we say them to what we say with them, but it is through our actions that we bring things into being. This is what we mean when we say to one another that actions speak louder than words. In many cases, what we say doesn’t necessarily line up with what we are doing, and it is here that it becomes clear that it’s easier to talk about doing something than it is to actually do something. At the same time, it’s easy to keep doing something that we don’t necessarily acknowledge ourselves doing verbally. It’s good for all of us to take a look every once and a while to make sure there is alignment between what we say and what we do.
