Reading This Might be Better Than College

College is a great experience. But for most of us...we didn't learn things we could take into a job. Turns out practical experience wins out over Quantitative Methods of Business and Macro Economics. So, even if you go to college, you might try reading this anyway. At least start with the 30 posts that are available if you click through.

Thanks Seth.

Why put off to tomorrow what you can do today?

If you have the information, acting promptly is usually far more effective than putting things off. Often the decision is nearly the same. And instead of getting ahead in the line...your in the back, or last. Perfection is impossible...so go ahead and take the step...today!

Why wait for tomorrow to start your resolution?

Happy New Year!

How Personal Can You Get?

My wife loves her Newton running shoes. And now she loves the people at Natural Running Store. They seem to care a wee bit more than other places...to the tune of personalizing the shipping confirmation. Very unique...and effective.

What the Plus...A Practical Guide to using Google+...and why you should

Guy Kawasaki is one of my favorites. If I was the team captain, I'd pick him every time. He has a way of making sense out of things that don't always, well, make sense. Like Google Plus for instance. In the shadow of established social mediums like Twitter and Facebook, it's easy to dismiss Google's platform as an also ran, another Lab project waiting for the scrap heap. Not so fast. Even if you don't plan on using Google Plus, please read the first chapter of Guy's new book. It's free here...and over on Google Plus if you search for it.

Merry Christmas.

Comfort

It's what stands in the way of achieving, and even pursuing, challenging goals. Naturally, we choose to stay comfortable if we have the option. That's why people can't lose weight, make a million dollars or just get out of bed earlier. It's not because we can't. We simply choose not to...we choose an easier path because it's more comfortable. Sometimes we're forced into an uncomfortable place...health scare, job loss, new kid's school schedule, etc. And, most of the time we seem to adjust...until we find comfortable again. 

So, the obvious questions is...how can you keep yourself uncomfortable enough, motivated enough to achieve remarkable and meaningful goals?
