Johnny Guitar... just one of my favorite singers of all time. I met him when we were both on the road with Johnny Otis in the '50s when I was a teenager. We traveled the country in a car together.I would hear him sing every night.
I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.
My parents started with very little and were the only ones in their families to graduate from college. As parents they focused on education but did not stop at academics - they made sure that we knew music saw art and theatre and traveled - even though it meant budgeting like crazy.
I've traveled all over the country for years speaking in churches teaching the Ten Commandments. It's amazing if 2 percent of any congregation knows the Ten Commandments.
There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job a life stage a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value.
