The second biggest challenge with ideas is that they are fleeting. If you do not capture the information when you have it, you may not get a chance later. Think about a time you woke in the middle of the night with a great idea and then in the morning you thought to yourself, “now […]

When Ideas Come
When ideas come they happen fast. Often we may think, “Wow, that’s random. That came out of nowhere!” but it is likely not the case. Ideas are how our mind puts together concepts to solve problems. Not all problems are our own, so they don’t feel close and familiar. Ideas can come to us in […]
Be the Voice
When I was listening to an audio outtake from a past Wayne Dyer’s TV show I heard him make reference to “being the voice of the person not in the room” with reference to gossiping and kindness.

There is so much information coming at us, both online and offline. How do you keep track? AND yes I want to know what your secrets are. I spent a lot of years in information (or content) management.

Don’t Believe in Infomercials
An infomercial, aka elevator pitch, is a short way of introducing yourself and your business in a way that will generate interest and possibly create a lead towards a sale. You know, after 11 years of trying to create the perfect infomercial I have decided that I don’t believe there is a perfect infomercial. Saying […]
