Something happened the other night with some people who really annoyed me and it can easily be applied to being an entrepreneur and/or an Internet business so I decided to come out of my cave and make a post again. (I haven’t actually been in hiding, more on that later.)
Anyway, here’s what happened. I [...]

Last week I was strolling through the aisles of my local public library and stumbled upon a book titled “Rules for Renegades” by Christine Comaford-Lynch. I had never heard of her before I saw the book, but with a title like that I had to check it out. I haven’t even finished the book yet [...]

Over the weekend I read Broken Windows, Broken Business by Michael Levine. The title is based on the Rudy Giuliani’s clean up of New York City when he was mayor in the 1990s. In a nutshell, the theory is that if there are broken windows in the buildings of a neighborhood, it sends [...]

The major difference is that successful people persevere and find ways to overcome the obstacles while those who aren’t so successful use these obstacles as excuses for [...]

Or can it be taught/learnt?” He’s English (or is it British) so he spells words like “learnt” wrong but that’s OK. I knew what he meant. Creativity can be learned. It took 3 seconds to [...]

Too many people fail or at least don’t succeed to the highest degree possible because they over-complicate simple things. They’ll spend a year researching a market [...]

Last week I mentioned it was time for me to give PPC another try. Several people left comments with advice but James Lee sent me “The Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords” by Perry Marshall. It came in the mail last Friday and I’ve already read it. It’s an easy read, especially if [...]

I read the Bible last week. The whole thing from cover to cover…and I’m already seeing tremendous improvements. The book I read was Dave Pelz’s Putting Bible: The Complete Guide to Mastering the Green. It’s a golf book. Probably not the Bible you were thinking about.
There’s a golf course nearby with [...]

Over the weekend I finished reading Terry Dean’s book “Financial Freedom: A Step-by-Step Practical Guide for Walking in God’s Blessings.” It’s a great book I recommend you read. It’s not an easy read. It will make you stop & think but that’s a good thing. Too many people don’t think at [...]
