My son and I used to enjoy the television drama “Numb3rs” on Friday nights. It’s a thinking show where a genius FBI agent applies complex mathematical methods to solve crimes.
So I thought, “Why not share some interesting numbers with you?”
Not to worry, no math degree or calculators required.
1 – Action is all it takes to get you closer to your goals.

Try one of these three-word, power-packed statements to make someone’s day: I love you, I thank you, I am sorry, I trust you, You are terrific, God bless you, I can help, I understand you, You are talented.
11 – Job changes for the average person during their career (according to the U.S. Department of Labor).
18 – Years in business for The L Group, Inc.
Here are my three words… “I thank you” for your support and encouragement.

Now, that’s a long time to accrue wisdom. It probably took my little green Star Wars friend that long to come up with my favorite quote, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Our words are the seeds of commitment.
1,000 – Inventions created by Thomas Edison.
He fought through many failures while inventing so many things. In fact, he said, “Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the genius. I’ve failed my way to success.”
