Small Business Owners: What is Your Most Valuable Asset?

November 13, 2010

This is by far one of my favorite questions to ask small business owners, entrepreneurs, and independent business professionals alike. Followed by a long period of silence as they contemplate the question, the tension is unbelievable. Almost as if they have never heard the question or contemplated it themselves, they seem more than just a [...]

Rembember Veterans Day

November 11, 2010

This veterans day, ask yourself a simple question:  What is a Vet? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.

The 4-Hour Workweek

September 21, 2010

First and foremost, I have to thank my good friend Steve for recommending that I read this book.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

August 23, 2010

I found Blink by Malcolm Gladwell to be a very enjoyable and easy read. As I was reading I kept finding myself going back to the question: How many of my decisions/choices are really my own and how many are influenced by outside sources? While I have not taken the time to read The Tipping [...]
