    TOPIC:  Eight principles of time for your eight hours to live

    Having worked for over 20 different companies, having interviewed, hired, trained and fired numerous
    employees, having sold tangible and intangible products for 40 years, there is one topic of which I am
    more familiar than any other, TIME…and how it should be valued.  

  • I have fathered three children and I have witnessed the killing of four students on the campus of
    Kent State University.
  • I have watched the birth of my grandson and I have witnessed the burial of President John
    Kennedy.
  • I have served three years in the United States Army as a public relations specialist in
    Washington, DC, writing and editing news and feature articles released to the national media.
  • I have served as a member of the Armed Forces Public Information Committee during the 1965
    Presidential Inaugural of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
  • I have witnessed inter-operative surgeries of the carotid arteries and heart.
  • I have tried to tackle Jack Lambert.  I have trained over 14,000 dogs.  
  • And I have ridden my motorcycle from West Virginia to Death Valley.  


    I treasure my family.  

    As I sit at my computer, writing the next chapter of my most recent novel, I can tell you that no matter my
    past, present, or future,  there is no more compelling desire than this:  to capture, harness, and control
    that indescribable, indiscernible, and unpredictable treasure called…TIME.  But, I cannot.

    I can, however:

  1. Share with you how time can be valued as you have never heard of it before.
  2. Share with you the 8 Principles of Time for your 8 Hours to Live.
  3. Share with you factors of time that might allow you some degree of control as to how you will live
    from this day forth.
