This is something different. If you look over there to the right, you’ll see a long banner ad for a Brian Tracy product. Brian Tracy is one of the top motivational speakers in the country. He also has lots of motivational products that he’s created. I’m an affiliate for him, and though I don’t have [...]

Earlier this month I purchased something from an online company. It was a DVD of the best of Michael Jackson’s videos. I waited with excitement every day for it to show up. Finally, on Saturday, I started to wonder what had gone wrong. Yes, it took me that long to realize that maybe I needed [...]

I don’t know where I got it, but yesterday I found this file on my computer and decided to listen to it. Turned out to be a short clip where the speaker was talking about some bad customer service he received at a hotel he was staying at for a long time. He eventually decided [...]

Yes, I’m taking a stand here. There’s been this big outcry over what President Obama said Wednesday night regarding the story of Robert Gates and the police office in Massachusetts.

I was a 9-year old sitting in front of the TV, mainly because my dad told me we were about to watch man land on the moon. I actually was into astronomy at the time. I had a periscope, and many nights in the summer I would set it up at the front door and [...]

Every once in awhile, I get on a roll when I’m working, and the work is pretty much all-consuming. Thing is, when one works for themselves, if you’re not working you’re not making any money. These days, while I’m in between consulting gigs, I’m making my living writing for other people. It’s interesting because I’ve [...]
