Here's the thing, spending hours a day furiously responding to emails, tweeting, or updating your Facebook status, that's not work. It makes you feel busy, important and "loved" but it's probably not what you are getting paid for. What do I get paid for? It's a good question and this post resulted … [Read more...]

Getting Unstuck Now
The last few days my client has been me (well, ColorMetrix, the company I own half of). It's felt like the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) work I've been doing on the website has been very slow going.

Use as Many Channels as You Can
I recently learned that all four of my siblings and my mother read this blog on a regular basis. This is especially strange to me not only because I am the youngest of the bunch but because of how they each find their way here. Small Sample....but.
