Before I settled in Brazil less than a week ago, I was all over the place: DC, New York, Atlanta, Ohio, and Jamaica. The great thing is that I’ve been able to see friends and clients that I’ve been working with for months. Everywhere I went, everyone asked me if I’ve lost weight and after [...]

It’s 6 am and I haven’t been to sleep yet. Actually, I’ve slept about eight hours in the past three days. This is my life as an entrepreneur.

Yesterday, I received a forwarded email from one of my friends. I’m sure you’ve seen something like it: “Send this email to 8 of your friends and receive a free laptop. This is not a hoax.” Pah!

The tip for today came from a Business Week article. It says that these are the types of employees you want: “Employees who feel like they control [...]

A few of my friends are pregnant. And because I’m a weirdo, I immediately reminded them to buy their kid’s names as domain names. It’s no surprise that they thought this was a crazy suggestion as they worried about diapers, planning baby showers and even what to name the child to begin with. (Seriously, your [...]

I was just reading this article on one of the entrepreneurship blogs that I follow. Usman Sheikh talks about the importance of a business owning their own word. Hmmm…instead of paraphrasing, how about I use that handy quote tool: In the book “22 Immutable Laws of Marketing” by Al Ries & Jack Trout, they mention that [...]

It seems that I’m one of the lucky ones that already has a Google voice number (*waves number in the air and sticks out tongue. Adds left hand to hip for desired effect) so I figured I would share my thoughts on it for all those unfortunate people that are without. (Can you believe that [...]
