Thirty-one days ago I set out to write 31 posts in 31 days. This is it, the thirty-first post. Thirty here and one on QuickInternetPages.com (or QIP.com) the blog idea that was created by the 31 posts exercise. Now, I am going to ramble a bit. I learned a lot about me, writing and the fine art of … [Read more...]
Fast Failure Breeds Success
That idea you have, try it. Develop a quick plan, with low cost and get a prototype whipped together quickly. Is fast failure really easier in the software world? I read a story years ago about the first Palm Pilot prototype being carved from wood and carried around by the inventor. He pretended to … [Read more...]
Body Weight Only Exercise Routine
Over the last year I have had success with a body weight only workout routine. I am not a trainer and I highly recommend you contact your physician and a personal trainer before starting this or any exercise routine. The routine is a combination of stretching, push-ups, sit-ups and squats. I can … [Read more...]
Social Media and Customer Service
Recently I received this email from Matt Peters and it got me thinking... ...when we strip away the technology and the tools (like twitter, facebook, 4square etc.) and look at the “social” part of the term “social media” – aren’t we really talking about really, excellent customer service?

Transparency in Social Media Communications

Napoleon Hill wrote about the importance of ideas in Think and Grow Rich. His premise, which I share, is that you become what you think about. I think about helping … [Read more...]
Transparency is the Key to Honest Communication
I read this Chris Brogan post over the weekend and it reinforced the importance of transparency in honest communications with your community. I write a blog about real, authentic and sustainable, yet I reached a point yesterday when I knew my current schedule was no longer sustainable. I've enjoyed … [Read more...]
Karma Yields an Extra Day
I set my alarm for 3am this morning so I could get up and drive 325 miles to committee meetings that began at 9am. Well, they do start at 9am but tomorrow. There was a time I'd have been none to happy about this calendar failure. I picked up the phone and called my wife laughing about it. After … [Read more...]
Internal Mastermind Group Provides Answers
When faced with a tough decision, I often ask myself What would _________ do in this situation? Or better yet I pull together a group or four or five really smart people in my head to form an internal mastermind group. I first read about the internal mastermind concept in Napoleon Hill's classic … [Read more...]
