Steve Jobs, Your Biz and Leaving a Legacy
I have to admit that the news of Steve Jobs’ passing really rocked me yesterday. We could learn a lot from him and although he will be missed, his legacy made a lasting mark on our world. He may have been and done a lot of things, but there are few [...]
What Do You Do?
For many years now [ever since I left Real Estate Brokerage] I have struggled with labels. People would ask “What do you do?” Seems like a simple question, but articulating an answer never was. When I would speak somewhere, people would also ask me for a title or ‘label’. I found that even more challenging. [...]
What We Can Learn From Hurricane Irene
First let me start by saying how thankful I am that we did not suffer any significant damage or injury from Irene. My heart and prayers go out to those who did. This post is not intended in any way to take away from those who did! As I waited and watched Irene yesterday, I [...]
What is in Your Way?
I recently spent some time with a great friend up in the mountains. The trip was incredible and I didn’t want to come home. I came up with lots of great ideas and plans however, which ordinarily “juices” me to no end. I have found myself resisting though. I have been tired all day, unfocused, [...]

Unlike ‘regular’ Google searches which often have ‘top results’ that are years old, these searches will produce them as they are [...]
Sales vs. Marketing… Bad Words?
When you are in business mode, marketing is a word that ‘speaks to you’. If you not, it also speaks to you…although maybe not in a good way. The words ‘marketing’ and ‘selling’ are now seemingly on the ‘bad words’ list, and perhaps rightfully so. We all know there are ‘those salespeople’ who give all [...]
ComPassion
There are many definitions of the word compassion. Typically we think of empathy, or pity, or caring. For the purposes of this post however, simply break the word into it’s parts: Com (together) + Passion (any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling) How are you sharing passion together with others? Are you sharing in their [...]
Everyone Has a Story…
Life is all about stories. The belief systems we carry with us every day are stories. Some we made up, some others did. Our life is a story. Our life story. We live it daily. Every experience we have, every laugh, every tear has a story. I often say branding is ‘how you show up [...]
Don’t Hire Someone to do Your Social Media
Imagine this… You meet someone online who has the same sense of humor as you, is funny, witty and smart. You begin to think of them as a friend and when the time comes that you are in need of the service that they offer, you know that is who you want, because you really [...]
