My Response to a Statist… (And my philosophy of business)
This post started off several years ago as a post in response to something someone posted on FB, on a friend's wall. I recently reread it and realized it nicely explains my theory about business and life and government. If you disagree with the general tone of this article, we likely shouldn't be doing business […]
Tax me all you want…it doesn’t matter!
I know you're likely confused by that title, especially considering my rabid hatred of the government sponsored theft that is taxation. I happen to agree with Ayn Rand on this point, and many others, if the government is so good, let it get it's funding my user fees and donations. That'd solve most of the […]
One of the Three Most Powerful Sales Tools Brilliantly Demonstrated!
I guess I really pissed a lot of people off the other day with my sympathy email…oh well! Such is life. If you were offended this email will make up for it, promise. If you weren’t offended, good for you…you’re one of the smart folks on the list! A couple of days ago I was […]
“You’re either ALL IN or ALL OUT on everything aren’t you!” She said.
Just about an hour ago, while writing this I had a conversation with my beloved, Her Majesty Queen Rachel. We are seriously planning on immigrating to Ireland in the reasonably near future…likely within 2 years. Before we go, we thought it would be nice to go see some folks we’d like to reconnect with and […]
Dig a well? I’m not a well digger!!
I’ve gotten a ton of emails the last few days asking where I’ve been the last coupla months. Well, I guess not a ton, since emails are technically electrons and it would take a seemingly infinite number of electrons to weight a ton…so I don’t really mean a ton but a whole lot of them. […]
Your Long Lost Marketing Guru!
How’s things been going? Well here. I apologize it’s been so long since I said hi, seems like I’m here today and gone tomorrow sometimes. I sincerely hope things have been going well for you! I was thinking yesterday about something that happened to me about 13 years ago…right around the time I was divorcing […]
My Wife’ll Make You $100K This Year
The other day my wife got a piece of direct mail from Travel Magazine. It had some of the standard gimmicks, like “Free Gift Enclosed Do Not Bend.” That’s one of the mistakes they made, by the way. They said “Free Gift,” then the Free Gift was a bonus with purchase. Made my wife feel […]
“I don’t know why I did it…”
Several weeks ago I was attending a PR summit held by a local business group (Tampa Bay Business Owners -TBBO.Org). There were some fantastic speakers scheduled and they all delivered wonderfully. One of the speakers was talking about how to use Facebook, and mentioned some very cool new business applications the Facebook management team has […]
Someone Breaking into my Home
The other night I was lying in bed, almost asleep when I heard a loud bang. I jumped out of bed, not got up, but jumped! It sounded like someone banged into the glass doors on the back of our home. I grabbed my .45 cal, stuck in the magazine, pulled the slide to load […]
