The Art Of Selling
Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you are always selling something. Your perspective may not be in the same place as mine, but that doesn't mean you're not selling something. Even as children, we are taught that if we cry, we will get our way (we're selling our helplessness to others in order to get what we want). When that doesn't work anymore, we sell being cute to get attention and affection. I will give it to the females of our species: they understand this fundamental truth, and take full advantage ...
Authenticity Always Wins
In the immortal words of Popeye the sailor man: “I YAM WHAT I YAM”. No truer words have ever been spoken. In all honesty, being who you are, saying what’s on your mind and doing what you want to do are the most freeing actions you can ever take. Stop worrying about what others think and just be your authentic self. If you are genuine, you will succeed. It may not be at your current profession, or in your current relationship or with your current group of friends, but then again it might be. If ...
It’s All A Matter Of Perspective
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~Albert Einstein Although there are two ways to live your life, there are an infinite number of ways of lumping people into the same two categories that they've always fallen into. One's outlook on life and his or her perspective is just another way of categorizing someone and finding out whether they would prefer their glass half full or half empty. Your persepctive on things is either going to help you or ...
Jump Into The Unknown
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. ~Alan Cohen No matter how much you want to deny it, life is all about change. You must embrace change in order to grow and in order to succeed. Once you realize that it's the constant in your life, you will shift your perspective and be able to take advantage ...
Hit The Trails
Running is one of my favorite pastimes. While it’s generally easier to go road running because almost everywhere you turn there is a street or a sidewalk, I prefer going off the beaten path. There are many times in my life and reasons why I choose the road less traveled but one of the most important things for me (as it pertains to running) is feeling like I’m a part of nature. I like having to react to changes in terrain and changes in elevation, and making sharp turns or jumping over fallen logs or streams. I often ...
The Perfect Gift
The elusive perfect gift is something that a lot of people hope to give and/or receive. I don’t know if there is one “perfect gift” but I think there are circumstances that surround the act of giving that could make the experience second to none. The intention behind the present has to be one of true selflessness. If a gift is given for no other reason than to make the recipient happy, you’re heading in the right direction. It’s never going to work if you expect anything in return. Next, the element of surprise is important when ...

Interactive Video
The newest and most creative venture I’m working with is interactive video. This technology is on the forefront of the marketing industry and has tremendous potential for revolutionizing the way people do business. I love the fact that people can get questions answered right in the video without having to go to a search engine. The video that I... [Read more of this review]
Inspiration is Everywhere
I don’t know if I’m somewhat of an anomaly or this is something that everybody experiences, but I tend to find inspiration from the most random and unexpected places. I never really stopped to think about it before, which is ironic in and of itself, but my most creative moments tend to come when I’m not focusing on the task at hand. Sometimes,...
