my adventures with entrepreneurship, love and life as I travel.

Dear American Airlines,

October 1, 2009

Dear American Airlines, There aren’t many things that I regret in my life. But every time I think about this incident, I regret not saying something when it happened or writing you a letter right after the incident.  It’s been six years now, but I still remember it every time I get on an flight, [...]

I Promise Myself

September 29, 2009

This is another great post that I found on Usman’s blog. I haven’t stopped reading it to myself since I saw it, so I have to share. I Promise Myself: To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet. To make all my friends feel [...]

The Employees You Want to Hire

September 25, 2009

2

One of my favorite websites is Trizle. They provide business tips that get sent to my email. They provide great information and it’s easy to read. Always a win. 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 [...]

The First Post

September 24, 2009

6

Ok, so I know that this is not really my first post, but after about 40 posts or so, I’ve finally come to some sort of idea where I’m going with this thing, so I thought it would be important to write down where I am now so that I can go back years from [...]

Do You Own Your Name?

September 23, 2009

2

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 [...]

What’s Your Word?

September 21, 2009

2

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 [...]

The Awesomeness of Google Continues: Google Voice

September 21, 2009

4

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 [...]

Be Yourself. Who Else is Better Qualified?

September 18, 2009

2

I remember seeing that quote on a t-shirt my sophomore year of college. It’s something that’s kinda stuck with me ever since then. So, imagine how I felt when I realized that my work, my art, the thing that I love the most…was starting to look like everyone else. It seems that somewhere along the way, [...]

9/11 Rememberance

September 11, 2009

0

I can’t believe that it was 8 years ago. I remember where I was like it was yesterday. I was a freshman in college…in Washington, DC. By the time I heard the news, I could see the smoke coming from the Pentagon from the top floor of my door. It would last for days. The campus [...]
