Expect The Expected
In: Entrepreneurship
18 Aug 2010They tell us to expect the unexpected. And usually, that’s exactly what happens. Here’s my take on it. I think the phrase is silly and really overused. I mean really, when do things ever go as planned? Of course, they tell us to expect the unexpected and when the unexpected happens, we’re still in shock [...]
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 [...]
Business or Real?
14 Apr 2010A sales rep stops by your office and you instantly know that well, he’s a sales rep. The phone rings and, within first 10 seconds, you know it’s a business call. They don’t care about you, they care about the sale. A real estate agent tells you about a house the same way he writes [...]
Finding your “thing”
8 Apr 2010I’m 29 years old, and I’m not sure I’ve found my “thing” yet. I write this blog, I consult with businesses, and I help them make more money. I show businesses how to use the internet to grow their business and make more money. I do a little of this and a bit of that. [...]
No Guarantees – Only Opportunities
26 Mar 2010The world is a tricky place to live. I read a line in the book Thinkertoys the other day that got me thinking. It read: “There is no way of knowing how far intention and action can take you. This world offers no guarantees, only opportunities and vicissitudes. When you reach for the stars you may [...]
The MBA Grad or the guy who read the book?
12 Mar 2010I read an amazing book the other day written by the guys over at 37Signals.com – Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. They had just released their eagerly anticipated book Rework. I was anxiously awaiting the books release. So on launch day, I ordered a copy on my Kindle. I took a quick peak, which turned into reading [...]
The Song Remains The Same
In: Entrepreneurship
7 Mar 2010Today I saw a cool update on Facebook from my buddy Jamie. His 12-year-old daughter, Joy, had just landed her first job. Wait, maybe that’s the wrong wording. Joy didn’t just land a job, she landed her first paying client. Instead of waiting for an opportunity to knock, Joy created her own. Joy took the initiative and [...]
Pass The Mustard
20 Feb 2010In one of my latest posts I mentioned that if I had inspired even one person to do something outside their comfort zone then I would be a happy camper. Little did I know, that person would be mother. I found out that this week that she had started her own blog called “The Mustard [...]
How to Get Lucky
10 Feb 2010No, not in the sense you were thinking! My wife won’t let me write that post! But hear me out. Yesterday I heard a comment while watching an event being streamed live on ustream.tv with someone very successful. One of the viewers made a comment suggesting that this person’s success and was the result of [...]
There are many ways to become a better marketer. You can read a number of books. You can attend College or a University. You can blow piles of cash on newspapers, radio advertising, television commercials, or just hope for the best. But I’ve got a better suggestion. If you live in Ontario (or even Detroit/Buffalo), you’re in luck. On March [...]
