A New Bike A Week Before Christmas December 16th, 2009
Today I was completely burnt out from several weeks of non-stop work and cleared my schedule to spend the morning with my son. It is winter, but today was really warm and half of the snow had melted so he was excited to to “bye bye” with his dad. It didn’t take long for him [...]
Instrument Armor August 25th, 2009
Since I mentioned last month that I am working on some projects of my own, I have been hard at work putting together some projects of my own. Yes, that sentence seemed redundant, but in actuality, it was consistent. I’d like to introduce, Instrument Armor. I am officially launching it April 2, 2010 but the [...]
Valuing Your Services July 10th, 2009
This is more of a quick update than anything else on the topic I’ve been covering this week. I’ve already raised my consulting fees and most of the services I offer along with my colleagues at Enliven Group, and most everyone so far has ponied up. This means that my strategy to free up my [...]
Consulting July 9th, 2009
Due to the forward nature of a few of my last posts I have received some emails from people that are concerned that I won’t be available to consult with them when they need it. My response is simple. I will IF the price is right. That isn’t so hard to understand, is it? I’ve [...]
A MAJOR Change, Drums & Fun July 8th, 2009
There have been some MAJOR changes happening as I noted in my last post. It all started about August of 2008 when my best friend and business partner forced me into a buyout of a company I’d spent two years of my life building with him. Shortly thereafter, things happened and I didn’t see one [...]
Destroying Your Assets July 8th, 2009
Next to your own personal attributes and abilities, what is your business’ greatest asset? Seriously, what is it? It is your book of business! Your customers/clients! That in and of itself is a topic to be discussed, but the thing I’d like to address is the sudden influx over the last few months from business
Sick and Tired July 5th, 2009
I’ve kept mostly a professional feel to this blog, but things are going to start changing. I’m bored and tired of what I’ve spent the last couple of years doing, and I’m tired of spending all of my professional time teaching others to market on the Internet. SO, in order to cut back on the [...]
Twitter May 24th, 2009
I have received many requests from clients and friends of clients and friends of friends of clients that want to learn how to grow their Twitter account. Or in other words, there are people out there that have heard I know how to get targeted, keyword specific Twitter followers and want to learn how. PLEASE [...]
Real Americans May 22nd, 2009
I found this article in USAToday, and thought it was absolutely fantastic. It is nice to see that not all Americans are depending on their politicians and bureaucrats to give them a handout. These kids are doing exactly what America was designed to be. I wonder how our economy would do if everyone took personal [...]
A Great Example of Sound Personal Economics April 28th, 2009
I recently started reading a book called I Will Teach You to be Rich by Ramit Sethi. A friend of a friend recommended it, and since I used to be a "financial professional" I wanted to see what this supposed hot new author had to say. He has a lot of good ideas, and I think the book will speak to a financially unsavvy generatio
