Earlier this year I wrote Personal/Professional blur and perhaps it was a more politically correct way of saying that I don't want to turn work off - ever. If you're not the same way, I am perfectly fine with that. What got me thinking about this topic again is the following question from the idea … [Read more...]
Win a Scott Stratten UnTour UnParty Milwaukee Ticket
The UnBook UnTour promoting the release of Scott Stratten's new book will be stopping in Milwaukee next Thursday, November 18th. While I'm thrilled to say I have an Unsponsor Top Level ticket (now sold out) I am also sad to say I will be out of town on business and unable to use the ticket. This is … [Read more...]
I'm never right
No, I am not going to go on a rant about always being wrong. There is a world of difference between "I'm never right" and "I'm always wrong." I'm always wrong projects a defeated and negative attitude. At least that's the way I see it. I'm never right pushes me to challenge my own ideas with … [Read more...]
Creativity the Idea Box way
After writing the role of coffee in blog writing I received a suggestion in the Idea Box for several future blog topics. Scroll down a bit and take a peek over to your right to see what the idea box looks like. As I read through the reader's ideas it occurred to me that a post like this would … [Read more...]
The day I quit a great job
A little over fifteen years ago I quit what, in hindsight, can only be termed a great job. I was about 30, had just completed an MBA program (paid for in large part by my employer) and had received a very nice raise to keep me happy now that I had three extra letters after my name. It gets better - … [Read more...]
Business Partner or Customer?
Just the other day a customer jokingly referred to me as being on the payroll. Well, OK he was probably only half joking as this is a large client when measured financially. It got me thinking, however, why he would say that at all? That in turn reminded me of a comment my brother left over on … [Read more...]

Go ahead and get started
Sometimes you just have to complete one task to get the ball rolling. Search that daunting to-do list for one item you don't want to do. That's right one item you don't want to do but can get done in five to ten minutes. Now, Just....do.....it. Next thing you know you'll be looking for one more … [Read more...]
Linkedin: Think Corporate
Linkedin is not Facebook and it's not Twitter. Its the community of the corporate world and when in Rome..... While I sometimes get downright goofy on Twitter on Linkedin I'm all business. On Facebook I'll post a funny picture or link to a video. For me, Linkedin is really not the place for … [Read more...]
Airlines and Web Servers
I'm flying again today. Not such a strange occurrence for me but today I'm flying on an old hub and spoke airline. This route used to be Northwest but is now Delta so that's sort of new but what's really changed? Not much. I boarded a plane in Milwaukee to fly through Detroit (and change planes) to … [Read more...]
