No, my wife isn’t going into labor 13 weeks early. Instead, it’s time for me to truly get down to work. As I mentioned in my post yesterday, Labor Day in my eyes is viewed as a fresh start. It’s the first day of the rest of your working life, regardless of what happened yesterday. [...]

Have you ever bought a product from someone that promised something like instant wealth and business success in a short period of time? We’re willing to invest insane amounts of money into products and training programs that promise immediate and instant results. This is the reason the entire late-night infomercial world exists. It’s the reason [...]

Happiness Now?

In: Ideas|Life

2 Sep 2010

Here’s something interesting I recently read about happiness. About a year after winning the lottery, the person who won the money will come down from all the hoopla and experience, roughly, the same level of happiness they were experiencing before they won the money. One year. Subsequently, if you were to lose both your legs, you’d be depressed and [...]

On Wednesdays, I always seem to write just whatever pops into my head – or go off on a bit of a tangent. I’ve created a new category for these posts and I’m calling it “A Typical Wednesday.” Hope you enjoy them. Somewhere along the route of history, we sold ourselves out. We gave into [...]

Directly under my name on my business card, I’m using three words to describe myself. They are: Marketer ~ Entrepreneur ~ Dreamer The first two are easy. It’s the third one that poses a problem for some. It’s the third one that makes people take a second glance. It’s that one that irks a few [...]

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Pretty straightforward. Life gives us the choice to either follow a clear, distinct, and well drawn out path, or we can create our own path. The first path is the one most people [...]

My Daily Workout

In: Creativity|Life

27 Aug 2010

For the past few years, I’ve been following Crossfit and doing the daily workouts. I’ve spoken of this on a few occasions here and here. It’s been life changing, but it’s also been a lot of hard work. That’s what I do for my physical exercise. There’s another type of exercise that holds the same [...]

The Dress Rehearsal

In: Life

26 Aug 2010

When confronted with death, even after a long-lived life, we’re reminded of something that we often lose sight of. We’re reminded that this is the one and only time you’ve got to have the stage all to yourself. You’re the star of the show. Can any amount of drudgery really be worth it? I don’t [...]

It must be Wednesday. Here’s what I was thinking about a few minutes ago – I  figured two short posts in one day was OK. The more you give to the world, the more the world will give you in return. And the more you take, the more the world will resist. Most of us [...]
