Running for Your Blog… (Or is that Running Away From It?)
I recently started running in the evenings as a way to get some exercise after sitting in front of the computer for hours at a time. Now, I should tell you right from the beginning that I hate running. I have always found it difficult and tedious, and I would much rather do just about [...]
Because, It Just Makes Sense
As humans, we go about our day constructing our reality. We think we’re logical in our choices but not really. Consider these common behaviors.
We have coffee because it wakes us up. We react a certain way to our kids because they make us react that way. We drive the speed limit because we don’t want [...]

Why Your Business Website Needs to Always Be Unfinished
I want to share a little business secret with you.

How Blogging Can Make You A Better Human Being
What does it mean to be a good human being? I’d argue it means contributing to the world in a positive way and helping others. Can we agree on this? If so, then it stands to reason that helping more not only makes the world better…it makes you better as well. It is mutually beneficial. [...]
Look at unsubscribes from your mailing list as a good think – The Culling of the Herd
I know what you are thinking. You spent a lot of time coming up with ideas of what you would send out to an email newsletter list. You spent time setting up the mailing list functions in your auto-responder of choice. And you spent some time maybe designing your newsletter with html.
You set up the sign [...]

Blogs are getting more and more competitive as a thousand new bloggers join the crowd every day, and we all know that being bland is a great way to be forgotten. Much better to be bold and controversial, right? Possibly not. It’s so, so easy to step over the line from “honest voice, telling it how it [...]

Sometimes it is good for our well being to rant a little. And this post just might be classified as a rant. Nope, it is certainly a rant. And I am not going to apologize one bit for it either.
