FYI
The Starving Artist’s Diet on Kickstarter.com
Each day I get one step closer to seeing my first book go to press. It’s been a bigger project than I first imagined, but I know it’s also a better project than I first imagined. And while it is not going to be a book for all times, it should bring a smile... »
The Problem with Sports
The problem with sports is the refs. They screw-up so many calls. They ruin perfect games, miss the big penalties, and call fouls that are only imagined. The problem with sports is the players. They’re a big bunch of overpaid whining babies who have a ton of athletic ability and very little common sense. ... »
Fear of Failing Isn’t an Option
I think that fear of failure has been one of my greatest roadblocks. I have failed at succeeding in so many things because failure was very thing I was trying to avoid. Seth Godinsays that playing it safe is one of the riskiest things one can do in business. The same can be said... »
I was a Spicy VIP
I was a Spicy VIP recently. That’s right. I was one of the select few to preview Chick-fil-A’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich. And here’s my review… it was thoroughly enjoyable. Not too spicy, but by the time I finished the sandwich, I had a good little burn going on in my mouth. Fortunately they included... »
Social Media is Stupid and a Waste of Time… or is it?
I had a humorous conversation with a fellow Realtor today. I was talking about my new brokerage and some of my marketing strategies. I wouldn’t say that I’m doing anything too out of the ordinary. I’ve created a website to capture leads, I’m seeking referrals, I’ve created street signs, I’ll be using some print... »
My Annual Obligatory American Idol Post
It’s that time of year again. American Idol is down to two contestants. Last year at this time, I picked Adam Lambert to win even though I was rooting for Kris Allen. I should have known it would have been Kris once Danny Gokey was booted because most of Danny’s fans would have voted... »
The Pilot G-2 05 (PS. I love you)
My favorite pen is the Pilot G-2 05(that’s the 0.5 mm version). I’d never been impressed with a gel pen before I found this one. I’m sure there are some high end pens that write beautifully, but I tend to misplace pens. The thought of losing one of my Pilot G-2 05s is pretty... »
My Damn Lizard Brain
For too long, I’ve lived in fear. Fear of failure, fear of not being liked, fear of being fired, fear of being left. Of course, on several occasions, I’ve told myself to not be afraid. I’ve told myself that I need to do what I need to do and not worry about what others... »
It’s About the Inches & Shipping
So much of life is measured in the inches and not in the miles, yards, or even feet. I think about how in football some of the most important plays happen when it’s fourth and inches. Sure, a big fifty yard play is great, but the game is really won or lost in those few... »
Dinner and a… Live Theatrical Performance
Recently I made a renewed commitment to being a more active supporter of theater and the arts. To continue that pursuit, my wife and I (and seven, 11 year old Girl Scouts) went to see a production of Hello Dolly at Beef & Boards Dinner Theater in Indianapolis. The show was very well done. ... »
