Sitting on a patio enjoying the summer night I had goosebumps while reading Richard Branson’s latest book Business Stripped Bare. For those of you not familiar with Richard, he is the greatest pure entrepreneur the world has ever seen. The few books he has written are absolute gems; real world guides to the business battlefield [...]
For the last few weeks I have been working out in my building’s gym. While I prefer going to a larger gym, I’ve found this allows me to workout every morning without taking up any time commuting to and from. The one difficulty I have found is a lack of equipment variety or a good [...]
Satellite radio is great. It is a quality of life improvement each and everyone of you should be taking advantage of. Unfortunately it looks like Sirius XM’s financial difficulties are continuing and their time may be numbered. In this post I am going to discuss some of the mistakes I feel they made and offer [...]
Here is a great video of Gary Vaynerchuk from the 140 characters conference. Gary has grown his online following (and his business) to enormous levels over the past 24 months utilizing twitter, facebook and caring. Yup, caring. With 600,000 Twitter followers he still insists on replying to every email or message and always addresses [...]

In last weeks post I looked at the reasons why our unconscious often encourages the deferred life plan. This week we look at a few strategies to break free and live the life we want today.
Just Jump & Don’t Look Back
We all feel that urge. We’ve read about Gates, Branson or Jobs and are inspired. [...]

Step One: Do What You Have To Do
Step Two: Do What You Want To Do
The idea of this plan is drilled into us from childhood. Themes of putting your time in, earning your dessert [...]
Let me provide a little background so the examples of the article make sense. About 3 months ago I resolved not to have a single sip of alcohol for one year. There were many reasons for this which are not the subject of this article. Here are two reasons just to hold you over. Firstly [...]
You may have noticed a severe lack of articles from me over the past 2 months. Have no fear, I haven’t forgotten how to write. In fact I have just completed the first draft of my first, so far untitled, book. As I work with my editor and consider my publishing options I will be [...]
