Continue Reading >>Raising the Barr is a weekly memo, which is always pithy, powerful and succinct. It focuses on innovative ideas by maximizing your life and business while leveraging strategy, content, technology and the web, to help you transform the success. This week’s reflection point: I’ve been saying for years that when it comes to my business the lines of demarcation between work and pleasure are quite blurry.

Continue Reading >>This week’s reflection point: It’s mid December and the time of year when many evaluate their failures and accomplishments and then extrapolate next year’s goals and action plan. Here are Chad’s top 11 questions to ensure success in the New Year. What do personal and business success look like and how would you articulate them?

Continue Reading >>This week’s reflection point: Let’s talk about language effectiveness. Though I am quite rested and my batteries are fully charged after the great holiday weekend, I feel the need to vent about the effectiveness of our language so I can really move forward towards the New Year. Whether listening to my favorite TV news shows, reading various publications and books or consuming web content such as articles, podcasts and videos, I’ve noticed a trend that irritates me quite a bit....
