You’re not even in the game.
19 May 2010“It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” ~ Grantland Rice Remember that quote? I hate it. It’s not about winning or losing, it’s how we play the game. Hmm…. The reason I don’t like the quote is that most of the time we’re not even in the game to begin [...]
This is your job.
12 May 2010“Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it”. The above quote comes from Steven Pressfield’s book, The War of Art. I love that quote. I’m sure you’ve heard the old stories about Michelangelo [...]
Bury it Alive
In: Business|Career & Work|Creativity|Getting Things Done|Linchpin
7 May 2010I had this idea for a local mashup of an offline/online web business a few years ago. It was a killer idea. I had seen startups in bigger cities offering a similar type of service with amazing success. I dumped a ton of sweat, tears, and money into this business. I spent days working on [...]
The 10:30am Hot Dog
6 May 2010Last summer, my wife and I took our first trip to Chicago. As I started doing my research, and carefully mapping out all the places I wanted to check out, there was one place that started to show up more and more. That place was Hot Doug’s. Hot Doug’s, also known as the The Sausage [...]
The Resistance is Terrifying
4 May 2010I’m reading a super fascinating book that’s been on my “to-read” list for a long time. It’s not part of the “Top 100 Business Books of All Time,” but I’ve been super eager to read this, and I wanted to get through it. The book is The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. That’s right [...]
The Donkey and the Carrot
3 May 2010Windsor, Ontario….. I’ve mentioned this place far more often in the past couple of months than I used to, and certainly more than I’d like to. We’ve got some serious issues here. The main one, well, it’s that hardly anybody can find a job. Just a few weeks back, there was a job fair in [...]
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 [...]
A Sunday Nightcap – The Linchpin Sessions
In: Linchpin
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 [...]
