Sometimes we just need to take a break from the strenuous work we devote to masking our craft. The piano drove this point home to me this week and it was supported by chance when I began preparing for an upcoming presentation focusing on "Branding." Give me five minutes and see if what I have to say today resonates with you.

Honor The "Plateau"

In the first episode of Mike'd Up Marchev for 2026 I am attempting to suggest a reality-based approach to achieving better results as we move forward. No pie in the sky revolutions, just three ideas that will pay dividends without a whole bunch of stress and wasted time. Take a listen.

2026: Here We Come.

As General Eisenhower once reminded us: " Plans are seldom followed. The act of planning is everything." Today's final message of 2025 suggests that we find the time and make the time to think about where we are planning to go in the next twelve months. Keep this year's new year's resolution real. Let's make 2026 a special year for all of us.

Finding Time To Think & Planning Your Future

Today I have a double message for you. I've shared this advice before but it keeps on popping up. If and when you think of somebody for no reason at all, find a moment to contact them sooner rather than later. Don't question the reasoning. Just do it.

My second reminder had to do with a snow filled driveway and a Propane Truck. The weight of the truck, the slant of the driveway and the slickness of the snow pack made it impossible to deliver a much needed fuel order. With just a little bit of assistance in the form of small grains of sand, was enough to induce enough traction to mount the hill. I hope this experience came with an obvious reminder. Just a tad more assistance is often all that is required to get over a perceived insurmountable problem. Tune in, Listen up. And then go call somebody.
