I Don’t Bounce Like I Used To…
Every father wants to be the cool Dad! And you know the email's gonna be funny with any opening like that! lol Seriously, we all want to be the cool Dad, so we do things that are, sometimes, a bit questionable…some folks (like the ladies we love) might even call the thing we do down […]
“You Only Hit Where You Aim”
For those of you who don't know, in a past life" before I met my wife and, fell in love and had children, I ran around hustling pool. I didn't play pool, I was the "stake horse" or the guy who put up the money for the hustler, Li'l Donnie Carlin, to play. We were […]
Success or Significance
The alarm went off at 6:50am this morning. I don't remember it going off, but I know it did because after I hit snooze and it rang again at 6:59, then 7:08. Seven am comes early when you're working until 1 in the morning! I rubbed my eyes and forced myself out of bed, against […]

The lady who owned the house, Geri, had been recently widowed and wanted to leave the house. She couldn't afford it anymore and had a bunch […]
But MY Business is Different!
Do you know where the drive thru restaurant came from? It was a revolution in fast food, a business model that defines the industry today, an innovation responsible for hundreds of millions (billions?) of dollars in sales. Today, without a drive thru, no fast food restaurant can survive. But where did the idea come from. […]
The Only 3 Ways to Improve Sales
Several years ago, on a Saturday night, Rach and the babies were at her sisters and I was having a George Thorogood night…that is I was drinking alone! About 2 and half scotches into the night I decided I needed to look at some marketing/business building videos I've had sitting on my shelf for a […]
Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts?
OK, I was on Youtube earlier today to listen to a song I hadn't heard in a while. While there I saw another song that I liked so I clicked on it. Then on that page I saw an advertisement about a new release for Justin Bieber featuring Rascal Flatts. Let me write that again, […]
