Blog postSome may think that you must be successful to be happy. Others may think the opposite: You must be happy to be successful. Both of those thought patterns correlate with thinking that one has everything to do with the other.
In The Success Code, I talk about three pillars of success. In The Happiness Code, I talk about three pillars of happiness.
All of the six things I talk about go together, and the one thing they all have in common is that your happiness and success is up to1 week ago Read more -
Blog postI am having a difficult time writing the blog this month. Loren just came by, looked at the computer and commented that I hadn’t written anything yet.
‘It’s been a tough month,’ she said to me.
She is right. It has been.
I just want to say that I am heartbroken for my sister, brother in law, their family and his. Please add them to your prayers as they deal with the unfathomable tragedy of losing two loved ones just a day apart.

Blog postWhen we were in Tennessee over the new year, Loren and I were in the car one night talking. With the new year a few days away, the subject of goals for the next year came up. Loren said she had written goals for herself but she was reluctant to share them with me because she didn’t want me to bug her about them. I told her she didn’t have to tell me, but I was happy she was setting goals and if there was anything I could do to help all she had to do was ask.

Blog postAs I sit here in the house that I moved into with Cassie back in December of 2020, I am full of memories from years past. The song “The House That Built Me” pops into my head on a daily basis.
“The House That Built Me” (written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin, and recorded by American country music artist Miranda Lambert) is a song that I always loved.
The song struck a chord with me (pun intended), just like it did Miranda Lambert. In the Wide Open Country article, “The Sto1 month ago Read more -

Blog postKnock on wood for good luck
Friday the 13 is unlucky
Four leaf clovers are lucky
Cross your fingers for luck
Bad news comes in threes
Break a mirror for 7 years bad luck

Blog postIt seems like people this year can’t just say ‘Happy New Year’. They have to add something like, ‘I can’t wait for 2020 to be over’ or ‘I can’t wait for 2020 to be in the rearview mirror’. As if the year is to blame for the pandemic, like if we could have skipped 2020 we would not have experienced it and once we get to 2021 it will be over.
Don’t get me wrong, I would have loved for the pandemic to not have happened. I would have loved it if we could have traveled like we had in previ3 months ago Read more -
Blog postIn late September, I was talking to my mom about preparing the house for my girlfriend, Cassie, to move in as we awaited the slowly-approaching closing date on the townhouse we were moving into. My dad wanted to give Cassie as much privacy as we can in our house.
The sunroom we were converting to Cassie’s bedroom had a slide lock on both sides of the door that my parents put on years ago to keep my sister and I out of the room. My father said that was good, Cassie could lock it and ha3 months ago Read more -
Blog postAll parents dream of their children growing up, becoming adults and starting their own life. Both Lou and Loren have started on their career path and it is fun to watch their journey.
Lou has always had difficulty socializing with kids his own age. Throughout his school career he had an aide and for his safety was never without close adult supervision. He couldn’t run around with the kids, so gravitated toward the adults. As his grade school aide said when speaking of Lou, he was a 604 months ago Read more -
Blog postAt the beginning of November, I heard of the passing of a good friend of mine, Drew. He wrote the forward for my memoir, My Disability Doesn’t Define Me. Drew was a very special person and I am glad that I had a chance to get to know him and call him a friend.
Drew was the president of Hudson Valley Community College for 13 years, retiring in June 2018. My graduating class, the class of 2018, was the final graduating class under his leadership.

Do you ever wonder why some people always seem to succeed, and others fail?
You already have access to all you need. If you want to learn how to use your true ability to access the secrets of success, then this may be the most important book you read this year, here's why ...
But first a warning: Despite how success is portrayed in the media, or in movies, most of it doesn't happen overnight. The principles in this book are readily at your disposal right now, but some of them take time to implement in your life. If you are impatient, or looking for a quick fix, this book probably isn't for you. On the other hand, if you are willing to implement some simple habits and new mindset ideas into your life, then we encourage you to read on.
Most "overnight" successes have been developed with small changes in daily habits and mindset tweaks, one day at a time. You will be surprised how simple these habits are, yet the majority of the people you know do not implement them on a regular basis. We asked over 20 experts to describe these habits for us, and the result was The Success Code.
The Success Code is a life lesson of habits, mindsets and stories of how they have been used to overcome obstacles and achieve success.
It's more than just about habits though....
- How to change your career (and your income), even if you have no idea how
- You need to work your way up to your dream job, right? Wrong!
- The 3 things you must absolutely do to recover when you find yourself down in the drudgery of despair (whether personally or in your business)
- Where to find help when you need it most, think Luke Skywalker
- How to eliminate the thoughts that make you poor
- Why you should never fight it when you are having a breakdown
- Why doing less will help you produce more and reduce stress
- Say Goodbye to unrealized goals when you make this one change
- What to do to reach the OMG level of your brand
- When it is ok to pivot your life, and how to reframe your mind to do it
- The Truth about maximizing your time and energy each day
Start using these principles in your life!

My Disability Doesn't Define Me
Jan 22, 2019
$3.99
“I’m not handicapped; I’m handi-capable!” — Paul Moylan
When another child asked Louis Vendetti about his disability at the age of five, he responded, “My legs have Cerebral Palsy.” In this way, he never let his disability define him.
In this honest and insightful book, My Disability Doesn’t Define Me, Vendetti shares with us his personal journey as a young man with Cerebral Palsy. Through his years in elementary school, secondary school, and then college, Vendetti and his mom quickly learned that advocating for himself required more than just a meeting with the school and some paperwork. It required a strength, perseverance, and resilience that Vendetti had to discover from within.
With his characteristic optimism, Vendetti gives us a glimpse at what it’s like to be a handi-capable student, courageously making his way through the public school and higher education systems. He proves that living with the challenges of a physical disability while balancing the demands of receiving an education can be hard, but it is possible.
Vendetti’s lessons and life experiences apply to anyone who has ever had to overcome a challenge or a struggle to find triumph and joy in the end, and will inspire us all to live our fullest and most capable lives.
