The Myth of “JOB” Security

Just in case you’ve been hiding under a rock lately there seems to be talk of something they like to call a ‘recession’.  This is a 50 cent word answer for lots of companies (particularly ones that are too ’small’ to warrant government bailouts) are going under at the speed of a morning Starbucks lineup.  [...]

Business is a Spiritual Game

There are two Universal Laws:

Free Will
Like Attracts Like

Stefan Tsirikos, Spiritual & Metaphysical Inquiry
It’s a common picture of business as the hard-nosed, hard-assed executive with the big cigar, behind the big desk, making the big deals.  Think “Wall Street” (The movie that is…) with the idea that you have to ‘eliminate’ the competition [...]

Positive Thinking: What are YOU Looking at?

Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this post I thought I’d mention something a friend of mine said to me when I was talking about how I normally teach.  He is of the mind that in order to get results the focus should be to portray yourself as a ‘maven’ or ‘guru’ [...]

Crisis and Great Problems

I’m guessing you’ve likely heard the phrase, “That’s too good to be true.“  Pretty common right?  What about, “That’s too horrible to be true.” …Not so much?  Not surprising really, when things are painted in ‘dark colors’ we tend to believe them.
It’s easy to hear bad news, just turn on your favorite form of mass [...]

Defeating Analysis Paralysis: Done BEATS Perfect Every Time

“Art is never finished, only abandoned” Leonardo DaVinci
There’s a big gap between ‘not finished’ and ‘not perfect’…often the size of the Grand Canyon.
I’m very much a ‘Ready, FIRE, Aim’ kind of guy.  Gets me a trouble now and again but it also allows me to do a ton more than people who are so preoccupied [...]

Frank Kern and WTF Motivation

Sometimes you just have to say, ‘What the F*#k.’ Tom Cruise in Risky Business
I spent a good chunk of today listening to uber marketer and sometime surfer…Frank Kern.  Wikipedia noted that his latest Mass Control 2.0 Launch netted close to 50,000,000 dollars (yep, that’s a lot of Fricken Zeros…) making it the most successful information [...]

The Power of Choice

‘Where shall I begin, please your Majesty’ he asked. ‘Begin at the beginning,’ the King said, gravely, ‘and go on till you come to the end then stop.’
Lewis Carroll

Is Selling Evil? The Balance Between Content and Conversion

“Nothing happens until somebody sells something.”
Tom Watson
I recently had an ‘unsubscribe‘…yeah I know, cry me a river   The cool thing is the feedback feature that Aweber provided prompted him to leave comments, which I ALWAYS appreciate.  He mentioned that his decision was made because of an affiliate link ‘rambling‘ I had sent out… [...]
