Things To Think About

Image
SEND IN THE CLOWNS No, not the song.  I’m referring to the Democratic candidates for POTUS, 2020.  As of May 17, 2019 there were 252 Democrats who have filed to run for President, of which 23 have been making a lot of noise and are actually getting donations.  Some of the lyrics of the song are: “Don’t you love farce My fault, I fear I thought that you’d want what I want Sorry my dear But where are the clowns Quick, send in the clowns Don’t bother they’re here.” So what are they going to do with all of their clowns?  I predicted over a month ago that Biden will be their standard bearer.  Why Biden?  Because he does represent the middle of the road of a wide variety of wannabes whose claim to fame will only be that they tried to run or were thinking of running for POTUS.  Only he can bring together a party that is fractured like no other.  However, Biden does come with a lot of baggage as well as being representative of the old time glib talking po...

How to build trust in a new team and establish psychological safety fast (And Establish Psychological Safety ? Fast)

Image
By Tyler Hayden CSP, HoF — Hall of Fame Motivational Speaker & Organizational Development Expert Psychological safety is one of the most talked-about concepts in modern leadership — and one of the least understood in practice. Most leaders know they’re supposed to create it. Far fewer know what it actually looks like when it’s missing, what it feels like when it’s present, or how to build it deliberately and quickly when the clock is ticking and the stakes are real. This post is for those leaders. The ones stepping into a new team, a skeptical room, or a group that’s been burned before — and who need more than theory. Here’s what 30 years in the room actually looks like. What the Absence of Trust Looks Like Before you can build trust, you have to be able to read its absence — and it shows up long before anyone says a word. Walk into a low-trust room and you’ll notice it immediately: closed arms. Eyes that drift away instead of making contact. A quiet that feels heavy rather than ...

What If The Founding Fathers Were 401k Plan Sponsors?

Image
What if the Founding Fathers were 401k plan sponsors? They never saw a 401k, yet faced many of the same challenges we do today — uncertainty, delayed gratification, and preparing for the future.

Ultimate Guide to Trademark Classes (2026): Protect Your Brand

Image
Trademark Classes FAQ This reference section provides immediate, direct answers to the most common legal and financial questions about trademark classes. Q: How many trademark classes do I actually need? A: File in every class that covers your current goods/services and reasonably foreseeable expansions over the next 3–5 years. More classes provide broader protection but increase fees. Most successful creators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses use 2–4 classes.   Q: What is the USPTO Trademark ID Manual and why is it mentioned so often? A: The manual serves as the official searchable database of acceptable descriptions for goods and services. Using its exact or closely adapted language dramatically increases your chances of smooth examination and reduces the likelihood of office actions or refusals.   Q: Can I add more classes later if my business grows? A: Yes, but it is often more efficient and less expensive to file comprehensively from the start.    Q: Why a...
