Last week I saw Inception. What a fantastic film! I highly recommend seeing it. Without spoiling anything, here’s a general look at the plot: Dom Cobb, played by DiCaprio, is a professional extractor. He has the ability to go inside people’s dreams and extract (or steal) information. Of course, since Cobb is basically a thief, [...]

If your business is hoping, waiting or wishing for a big payoff and banking on hitting paydirt at the very same time your business is in a downward spiral, you might be making a grave mistake. Great business minds have often said, If a business isn’t growing, it’s dying. The thing is, the opportunity or [...]

Over the past few months, I’ve been going off on a little bit of a tangent. (the blue highlighted words in this post are links to some of those past posts) This has led to me spewing off my own optimistic ideas of the life you could live. I believe you can do work that [...]

When we find ourselves in an emergency situation, the first instinct will almost always be self-preservation.
