Welcome to Brunner & Associates, Inc.

Do you ever think about the importance of the habits you develop and how much they influence your life?  Jim Rohn used to say that good habits are hard to make but easy to keep while bad habits are easy to make but hard to break.  Doesn’t that make sense?  I think it does.  Why not devote the next month or so to establishing one – no more than one – positive, productive habit such as exercising regularly, managing your email better, or improving your follow-up skills?  Developing one new productive habit now will change the rest of your life for the better!

We spend so much time and energy focusing on past interactions and wishing somehow they had been different.  Many relationships continue to suffer from arguing about, being offended by, and feeling hurt over something that has already happened.  Can we change – even a little bit – what has already occurred?  Of course not!  But we can learn from the past and apply what we’ve learned to actively shaping a better future.  I love what my friend Don says to help folks become more future oriented:  “Let’s give up all hope of a more perfect past.”  Amen.  It is more productive to use our energies to strengthen relationships going forward rather than living in the past.
