You want to accomplish something. Whatever it is, you’re going to have to make an investment. You’ll either be investing a lot of time, a lot of money, or a little of both. In this article, I’ll illustrate this concept by discussing modern options for having graphic design work completed for business use. Let’s pretend […]
As a small business owner, increasing prices is really tough to do. Reaching out to existing customers about rate increases is sometimes more painful than being on the other side of that equation. Yes, you read that right: it’s often more uncomfortable to raise your own rates than to be subjected to a rate increase. […]
I get asked a lot why I use Bing. Do I think that Google is evil? Am I that strange guy that really loves Microsoft? The answer to both of those questions is a resounding, “No” although I do believe that both Microsoft and Google are pretty nifty companies that can—often unintentionally—wreck some unfortunate havoc. […]
Why have I gone almost an entire month without posting? Well, I’ve been taking my time evaluating existing projects and planning for new projects to replace those that are under performing. As a part of that, I decided that it was time for a bit of a technology update, specifically a mobile update. No, I […]
Recently, I took the Gallup StrengthsFinder assessment for the second time. I first experienced StrengthsFinder in 2015 as a student of a leadership development program at work.

What surprises me is just how much time really needs to be dedicated to learning in order to make the desired level of progress in professional pursuits. Now, I’m not […]
I started a ketogenic lifestyle in June 2015. It’s now July 2018, I’ve been off of keto more than a year—albeit with on-again, off-again starts—and I never really talk about ketogenics online. Sure, my friends, family, and colleagues know me as a resource for information resource, but I haven’t been “living the dream”. In fact, […]
I’ve become a bit of an overzealous project completer these days. Likely this is due to the fact that I feel the need to overcome the procrastinations and repeated dead-ends and failures of the past. No matter what is causing it, I’m really enjoying the raised eyebrows and funny looks that embarking—and achieving—a diverse set […]
