“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.”
– Thomas Edison
First Time Here?
We're glad you found us and look forward to getting to know you as we grow together! Before we go any further, if you didn't watch the video on the home page, please take a couple of minutes to watch it now.
What will you find here and how will it help you?
What will you find here and how will it help you?
In short, you'll find video & audio messages and interviews (including an iTunes podcast) designed to help you tend your flame.
I know, I know... That sounds like something Mae West would say, but I promise it's nothing weird. You can read about it here. See, I believe you already know what you were put here to do. Some people call it intuition. I call it a "still, small voice" inside you - that feeling that stirs your spirit every time you think about it. Whether it's a relationship radically restored or a purpose passionately pursued, you already know what God put you here to do.
The question - more often than not - is either how to get off the couch or how to stay off the couch once reality smacks you in the face!
A lifetime "Indie," my goal is to help you create the new world of your dreams by investing my experience into yours. I've spent 22 years walking the talk, motivating myself and others to literally world champion levels. More on that later.
For now, I hope you'll JOIN THE PLU NATION by signing up in the blue box on the right. It's free. When you do, you'll receive - also FREE - an audio download called Astound Yourself Today. We call it "The Foundation of the PLU Nation" and believe it will inspire you to do what you're capable of doing.

Glossary
Yeah, I know. A website with a glossary... wow.
As you can see, it's not extensive. I just want you to know what we're talking about here and on the blog. And maybe I'm a little too lazy to type all those words when 3 letters will do...
PLU - People Like Us
PDA - Personal Development Advocate
I know that sounds a little cheesy, but it's what I do. The catch is that I'm not the usual PDA. I won't tell you how to get rich or Here's my bottom line: God put us here to do something relationally, professionally, spiritually and all the other "ly's" and I believe we won't do any of it unless we learn & grow and do what we're capable of doing. What I've found, though, is that people rightfully see so-called "motivation" and "personal development" professionals on television or at meetings and they're either over-the-top cheesy or just plain suck. In short, I think personal development has gotten a bad rap, and, in my own little way, I aim to fix that!
TTF - Tend the Flame
You can read all about it here, and it's one of the themes in The Tinderbox Tapes.
AYT - Astound Yourself Today
Based on the Thomas Edison quote atop each page of the site, and another theme in the book; also "The Foundation for The PLU Nation." You get the FREE AUDIO when you join the mailing list (in the blue box on the right). I'll only email you when there's something to say and promise not to wear you out.
DDM - Daily DifferenceMaker
I used to run a Personal Development club, called "The Tinderbox Tapes Club." Original, huh? Anyway, I sent an email every day with a quote and my two cents - sometime they were humorous, sometimes they were serious. Sometimes they were a kick in the pants, sometimes they were a hug. Regardless, they were intended to remind members to "do it different" each day. The idea is that this time next year, you'll be exactly the same as you are to day, unless you do something different today. There's more in "The Decision and the Day" on the blog.
PnP - Progress Not Perfection
I lifted that phrase from Tommy Newberry's book, The 4:8 Principle, and it's become a bit of a mantra here. In its simplest form, PnP means to take a step, make a move... do something. The perfect part may or may not ever come, but the progress is what really matters anyway. You'll see that we live that mantra here every day. In the videos, audios, interviews, blog posts... even in the novels. And that's life, isn't it?
Now that you know the vernacular, please browse the site and PUH-LEASE visit the blog. You can read my latest posts, but more important, you can COMMENT - which is the point of all of this.
