How To Become Powerful
Something was eating away at me every day, but I told myself I would rather die than talk about it. It took strength to conceal my feelings for ten years. Except, that strength almost killed me, because the path I chose was doomed. I could not see how to change course. I could not see that it wouldContinue reading “How To Become Powerful”
How To Create Your Dream Job
There’s something that you can do in a way that nobody else can. It might take some time to craft that skill; to develop it & become recognized as an authority.

How To Get People To Pay You
The reason that relentlessly giving away your knowledge for free now, will eventually earn you money later, is because you are constantly adding value. When you add value to anything – other people, other businesses, your friends or family – that doesn’t go unnoticed.

Remember This: We Might Not Remember.
From 1994 to 2004, my life was increasingly blurry. Memories fade for all of us, but, for people under depression, they often don’t exist. It’s one of the reasons I can barely recall anyone’s names who I went to college with, outside of my close circle of friends. When we get together, they’ll tell stories.Continue reading “Remember This: We Might Not Remember.”
Making Good Art
That’s what I hope to create every day: a good piece of art. I go for it with every blog post, phone call, email, and meeting. I don’t always hit the target. Some of my blog posts, in reading them later, are terrible. During some of my client interactions, I make mistakes. You don’t have toContinue reading “Making Good Art”
How To Break The ‘Mom’ Barrier
I would be lying to you if I said that I never wondered when more people than just my mom would read my blog. OK so, I do have a few more readers than that, but the numbers don’t matter.
