The On-Purpose Person: An Online Book Review

March 3 – This date in history.

March 3, 1916

My mother-in-law was born in Augusta, GA.   Grannie is still living on the dairy family farm in North Augusta, SC.  She needs more help these days but her sense of humor remains.  

Grannie's mind has been slipping.   On a previous visit a couple of months ago, she informed Judith that she was going to be 106 on her next birthday.  Grannie remembered she was born in 1916.  Lovingly, Judith walked her though the proper calculation to get to 93.

Judith and I were visiting with Grannie a couple of weekends ago.  Testing Grannie's mental clarity, Judith asked her, "Mother, what birthday is coming up on March 3rd?"

Grannie smiled and said, "My last… at least that's the way everyone seems to be treating it, what with the party that is planned and all."  Her mind may be slipping but her humor isn't!

March 3, 1992
I signed the publishing contract for The On-Purpose Person with Navpress of Colorado Springs.  This was my first book contract.   The message has sold over 200,000 copies with domestic and foreign distribution.   Now there's an updated version.  Now more than ever this message is needed.   Please help us share it by passing along the free preview available at our web site.

Are You Serving on a Board of Directors?

February 12, 2009 By kwmccarthy

Many of us who are business owners get invited to serve on boards.  We're used to running things, not governing via policy through the CEO (for profit) or Executive Director (not for profit).   The role of being a director is deeply misunderstood by most of us who serve on boards. 

Recently, I was quoted in the following article in California Executive.  Perhaps this will shed some light on your board involvements.

Now More Than Ever, Company Boards Must Respect Boundaries
