It’s coming. Oh yes, it is coming.

That is all…..
Superior Customer Service- Copy the Frog
Holy cow! Good customer service does exist!
I just stopped in at a new custom t-shirt print shop here in town, Big Frog, and got a fantastic product but also a killer reminder of the importance of taking care of your customers.
So I walked in not quite knowing what to expect. The sign said “custom t-shirt printing” but I’d seen a lot before and there are no two stores...
Something new this way comes
I’m excited because I’ve got a new project that’s been in the works for a while and hopefully (fingers crossed) it’ll go live next week.
To all who know about it, thanks for your support. You rock. We’re hoping it will fill a current void for busy professionals.
Stay tuned!
Finding your passion: It doesn't have to be a...
It’s important to find something you’re passionate about. Just because I write or talk about passion doesn’t mean it had to result in a business venture.
That fact was hammered home again for me this past weekend.
I met a friend of a friend who’s been in the mortgage business for a while. He’s made a lot of money, but, as we all know, the mortgage business...

Are you lost in the dark? Go exploring!
Sometimes it’s easy to feel sorry for ourselves when things don’t go right. Ever feel like you’re alone in the dark, fumbling for help? You’re not alone.
Whether it’s business or personal, we’ll all have those moments of panic and insecurity. The key is not to focus on the weight of the darkness. Instead, focus on the adventure the dark brings.
It’s...

Great Friends Rule
This is a short one.
Surround yourself with great friends.
Friends that support you.
Friends that challenge you.
Friends that are brilliant.
Friends that understand.
Friends that kick ass.
Don't be satisfied. Always seek to improve
Do have those days when you just kick back and marvel at what you’ve accomplished? You should have those moments. But after you marinate in your own success, start thinking about how you can improve.
I’m not saying you should always be going, going, going. I’m also not telling you to worry constantly about what you might be doing wrong.
I am saying that whether your focus...

Dump the employee mentality. Brainstorm through...
Have you ever had an employee bring you a problem and just dump it in your lap? It’s like they’re saying, “Here you go, boss. I give up”.
I can’t stand that!
My first question back is, “How do YOU think we should resolve this?”
You should do the same. The problem is that the majority of employees are trained from day one to think that certain...
Don't be a Wuss. Think big!
Dreams, passions, innovations; they’re all the driving forces behind the organizations that are taking the worst economy in decades and turning it into something better.
While the first couple years of the latest recession were filled with stories of doom and gloom, we’re now seeing more stories of hope, inspiration and dreaming big. It’s about time!
Hopefully you’ve...
The Power of Collaberation
Have you ever been in a room with your fellow associates, employees, business owners or friends, and it seems like brilliant ideas are flowing endlessly from all your minds while working together?
If you haven’t, it’s something you NEED to experience!
Call it what you want: collaboration, think-tanking, brainstorming or synergy; utilizing the power of the group is awesome.
If the...
Put Your Family and Friends on Your To-Do List
Ever had those periods where all you do is work? Day-in and day-out all you think, eat, breath and sleep is business? I’ve been there too.
What tends to happen is that we soon get overworked and overwhelmed. What helps balance our professional lives? Family and friends.
You all know I’m a big proponent of working your tail off to achieve your goals, but for me family comes...
