Do Mom Bloggers = Renaissance Women? – Jim Says

November 3, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

Yesterday when Shelby tackled this topic my first thought was that the renaissance has not just been for women. I know plenty of men who blog about being dads and I see them as being renaissance men as well. It's more about the ability to utilize a diverse set of skills to create an income stream … [Read more...]

It's not about perfect solutions

November 1, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

Recently, Shelby and I, in the name of this blog, decided to sponsor a local fundraiser for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. That decision got me thinking about the late Randy Pausch and his Last Lecture book and video. I started re-reading the book and came across this quote on page x of the … [Read more...]

My iPhone 4S accessories so far

October 31, 2011 By Jim Raffel 3 Comments

I've had the iPhone 4S for a little over two weeks and have written about it a few times already. If you are interested, you can find all the previous posts in the iPhone 4S category. Until this past weekend, I had only purchased a case for the iPhone, but I have been thinking about a few other … [Read more...]

Do too much

October 28, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

Another way to state the intent of this title would be to say, get outside your comfort zone. It's easy to say, no I can't do that, I already have too much on my plate. And maybe sometimes that is the right answer, but it is also the easy and comfortable answer. What if sometimes you said, yes, I'll … [Read more...]

Concentrate on the bird in your hand

October 25, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

The problem with building a marketing engine that works 24/7/365 is that at some point you are going to have to filter the sales leads and business opportunities that come your way. It's not a bad problem to have but it's one you should prepare for before it hits you. My general rule of thumb is to … [Read more...]

The case for an iPhone 4S case

October 24, 2011 By Jim Raffel 2 Comments

A week ago I decided I needed a case for my new iPhone 4S. After three days with the new phone, it was clear I'd eventually drop it without a case and I also wanted to protect the iPhone 4S from scratches and dings. I sent a message out on Twitter that I was looking for iPhone 4 case ideas and took … [Read more...]

The week in review

October 22, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

This past week was a busy one. I spent most of the week in New Orleans at the SGIA show as a spokesperson for a new product launch with our partner Mutoh America. As such there was not much time to share this week's posts, so I thought I'd do a weekly wrap up and share that instead. I've also … [Read more...]

October 21, 2011 By Jim Raffel 1 Comment

I've spent most of this week at the SGIA trade show in the booth of our business partner Mutoh America. Over the last year or so, we have developed the ColorVerify product line and this is the first show where we have demonstrated the solution live to attendees. My role has been to do two or three … [Read more...]

Twitter and nonprofits – Jim Says

October 19, 2011 By Jim Raffel 2 Comments

Shelby and I are on the road this week but have no fear because #shehechat will take place at its normal time at 8 p.m. CST Thursday. We’ll just be tweeting from a pretty cool revolving bar in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Recently I was asked to participate in a panel discussion about social … [Read more...]
