Tis The Season
Yesterday my mom texted that her car wouldn’t start & she needed help. Thankfully my schedule is pretty flexible so I was able to go. When I got there, she told me 2 short stories that lifted my spirits. While waiting for me to respond, she had texted, what she thought was my wife Corene’s, cell …
Read moreT.O.M.A
Top Of Mind Awareness T.O.M.A Long content, short content. Great content, average content. What can beat them all? Consistent content. The power of the drip. The power of staying in front of your audience. Day by day. Email by email. Post by post. Small but powerful, like a drop of water boring a crevice into …
Read moreFacebook Continued
Have you ever noticed yourself being in the moment of a great life experience, and finding yourself being sucked out of the joy of that moment, …because you’re too busy thinking about how you’re going to post the picture of the moment on Facebook & maybe even wondering how people will respond to it? I …
Read moreCrazy
Ray Dalio, in his new book Principles, said, ‘Maturity is the ability to reject good alternatives in order to pursue even better ones.’ In my first few years of home business I cycled through 14 different companies. That felt crazy. Since 2012, I’ve stayed committed and loyal to a select few. That too, at times has felt …
Read moreMarketing Spam
The same message, plastered everywhere. Parrot syndrome. Everyone repeating the same thing, over and over again in the marketplace. It creates a phenomena called ‘ad blindness’, which means people begin to become blind to the message because they’ve seen it before so many times. The solution? Be different, be unique, be yourself. Find your own …

I listened to an interview with a successful venture capitalist a while back. This guy who was famous for investing in various companies, said something interesting. One of the first things they want to know about a company… Is it a growth company or a lifestyle company? Of course, as an investor, you’d want your money …
Read moreArrogance
Arrogance: Conceit, self-importance, egotism. Arrogance cares more about being right than what is right. Arrogance gets more joy out of being seen, reading the book, driving the car or helping the person than actually reading the book, driving the car or helping the person. Arrogance is pointing to goodness and not being able to fully appreciate …
Read moreCompensation For Kids
Emerson writes, in compensation, that the fruit is sown in the seed. ‘The Dice of God are always loaded.’ Eternal justice is perfect and while time may separate the blessing or the cursing from the act, as surely as night follows day, a just compensation always comes. If this is true then it’s entirely possible to …
Read moreBad Logic
Yesterday I saw person A endeavoring to refute statements put forth by person B by insulting person B, rather than addressing the substance of what person B had asserted. And many fell for it. It happens all the time. Bad logic. If a liar tells the truth, the truth does not become a lie. In the case …
Read moreBad Dope
Dope, or dopamine, seems to be a type of chemical messenger that runs between the cells in our brains with pom poms shouting “YAY, Let’s celebrate, this is AWESOME!” When this happens we get a little shot of pleasure, causing us to want to do the thing we just did, again. My friend Todd told me about …
