I just got invited to attend my distributor’s sales conference to present my new book to the sales reps. Very exciting. Not every author gets invited.
They asked me to send my PowerPoint presentation to them ahead of time but I just couldn’t do it. See, just between us, I don’t do PowerPoint. Especially since I [...]

Gotta admit, I’ve got mixed feelings about this whole blogging business. On the one hand, it’s a great way to keep the conversation going. And I love reading all the cool stuff other bloggers are thinking about and doing and discovering. ( Stu McLaren and Perry Marshall always have something interesting to say.)
And I must [...]

I call it The Fonzie Factor. 33 years ago, Garry Marshall introduced a bit character, a high school drop-out named Arthur Fonzarelli, “The Fonz”, on a 50’s nostalgia show called Happy Days. The stars of the show were supposed to be the Ron Howard character, Ritchie Cunningham, and his friend Potsie. Henry Winkler didn’t even [...]

I must admit, I’m often telling the kids “Stop watching so much TV and do something useful”. But the truth (just between us) is that watching TV is useful, at least for entrepreneurs.
Everything I know about business I learned from watching TV. I graduated, top of my class, from the 19″ Institute of Higher Learning.

Their [...]

Recently, I promised to share with you the one show my kids watch that you really might wanna check out. It’s a “reality” (yeah, I know…) show called Beauty and the Geek. I didn’t miss an episode last season and it just kickedoff again in September. As I told my kids, it’s a show about [...]

I’m getting a few questions about this RSS stuff. What is it? How do I subscribe and read your RSS feed? Well, I think this video best sums up the answers. Check it out. If you have more questions, I recommend turning to the almighty Google.

Share and Enjoy:

As I washed my hair this morning with the samples of Dove shampoo and conditioner I got in my gift bag at the Ladies Who Launch event last weekend (a pink-fest), I was reminded of Dove’s new flick Onslaught which has been circulating on the web and has already been featured on Good Morning [...]

One of the things about having 4, (count ‘em 4!), teenage daughters, (ever seen 65 hair straighteners in one washroom?) is that you find yourself watching stuff on TV that you wouldn’t normally be caught dead watching, stuff like The O.C. and America’s Next Top Bimbo.
This summer I spent a week stuck in a [...]

“It’s noisy out there!”
 That’s the opening line of my new book (coming April 2008) where I whine about discuss the challenges of getting noticed in a noisy marketplace, competing with neon freeway animation, ads embedded in grocery store floor tiles and talking subway posters.
Well the world’s about to get a little quieter. At least in [...]
