How’d you make out with last week’s comfort challenge from “The 4-Hour Work Week“? For myself, I found I was certainly much more aware of what my eyes were doing while engaged in conversation. As for using the technique with total strangers, that was much harder. Like Tim mentioned, you don’t want to look like a [...]
No Shortcuts to Making Money – Trust me.
29 Apr 2010I know we’ve talked about it before, but it never ceases to amaze me when I hear how disappointed people are with the latest “get rich quick” purchase they just made. People, who are down to their last few pennies in their bank accounts, taking out loans to buy the latest and greatest collection of DVD’s or [...]
Is TV making you dumb?
In: Life|Success|Time & Money
28 Apr 2010Back in December, my wife and I made a decision to turn our TV off and stop watching it. We went cold-turkey. When making this decision, we also agreed upon a few guidelines. A movie on Friday or Saturday night was perfectly acceptable. The Olympics, of course, were exempt from all rules. Canada crushed it. [...]
It’s a small world… Watch what you say.
In: Life
26 Apr 2010Here’s a little story about something that happened the other day. I live and work in a very small town. My office used to be located in the front bedroom of my home, but now I work out of my brother’s house. He built this house last year, specifically for his business, and I rent an [...]

25 Apr 2010Yeah, I know it’s Sunday night…but I’ve got a little treat for you. If you’re sitting around this evening and just watching TV, thinking about the long work week ahead, I’ve got something to share with you. We’ll call it a nightcap. This is a very special treat and it will only take up 45 [...]
Big balls. Comfort Challenge #1
23 Apr 2010Don’t leave just yet ladies… This one is for you too. This post was inspired by two of my favorite books that I’ve referenced quite a bit over the years, “Ballsy – 99 ways to grow a bigger pair and score extreme business success” by Karen Salmonson and “The 4-Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferris. Karen’s [...]
Where I’m going. Will you come along?
22 Apr 2010By now, if you’ve been reading any of my posts for the past few months, you’re probably getting a good idea about where my head is. I’m not sure when the switch was flicked on or what triggered the change, but my thinking and approach to what I want to say on my blog has drastically changed [...]
We’re all Goldfish
21 Apr 2010Back in March, I was lucky to hear Sally Hogshead speak at the Art of Marketing conference in Toronto. A comment Sally made really stuck with me. Sally mentioned that our attention spans are roughly the same length as a goldfish’s. A goldfish. “The addictive nature of web browsing can leave you with an attention span [...]
Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.
20 Apr 2010I stole the title of this post from Hugh MacLeod‘s book, “Ignore Everybody“. This is just one of Hugh’s keys to creativity. Thankfully, he’s even drawn a picture to hammer the point home. Hugh want’s you to know that while you may be pouring your heart and soul into your art, or your business, or [...]
