“I’m 50… Now What?” If you’re over 50, you’ve probably asked yourself that question more than once. Maybe even today. And if you’ve worked a quarter century—or more—some of this might sound familiar: You’ve stayed loyal to one organization your entire career… and now wonder if that was the right call. You’ve bounced through several…
Our team is frequently hired to advise companies on how to become more relevant. Actually, companies want us to tell them how to be “the MOST relevant” in their industry. This is a challenge because we have yet to come across the 100% perfectly relevant organization. You’d think we had found that perfect company by…
Your skills are important to a lot of people. Other people depend upon your contributions. And, if you have made a commitment to your employer (to do a particular job) then you are expected to be there and perform that job. If you don’t show up, you might be jeopardizing the efforts of your entire…

Just a few years ago it was unheard of for an organization or company to hold a meeting at an expensive, exotic…
Ross Shafer for the Relevant Report. Today, I want to talk about how to conquer burnout…in your job or career. If you’re feeling burned out at work it is probably because you’re being asked to work ridiculous hours – nights – weekends – holidays – and every day you come home exhausted; virtually paralyzed to…
I want to tell you about a true American success story…born from noticing the obvious. Recently at a Denny’s Franchise Owner’s meeting I met a young man named Glenn Beattie. Glenn scraped together enough money to buy a Denny’s restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. He wasn’t afraid he’d lose money because he had noticed something obvious…
Hi Ross Shafer with the Relevant Report. I just got into the Orlando airport and, on my flight, I was sitting next to a woman who I would guess was between 75 ad 80 years old. She was coming to Orlando to visit her grandkids. A man on the other side of us struck up…
Ok, this is my last Relevant Report from Vienna, Austria. I have to say that I was struck by the vast history and influence of this country… a country that brought the world Mozart, Beethoven, Licht, Strauss, Sigmund Freud, and the world’s greatest movie star, Arnold Schwarteznegger?
