How do you expect to finish if you never start?
I have spent a lot of time around people that are extreme introverts and some that are extreme extroverts. Some talk way too much and some don’t raise their voice enough. Normally, we think about this as when to “say the right thing” in the right situation. I’d rather take a look at the invert: knowing when to shut… Continue reading The Art of Knowing When to Shut Up
We all have tons of ideas and aspirations for greatness. Some of us achieve it, and some of us just flop around in the mud. But if we try, we go through this phase. It’s a challenge and it can crush many of us. But what would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Expertise for Meetups As I was thinking through my post from yesterday I began to think how I can incorporate meetups into my current business. What do I enjoy?

Yesterday I was checking my notifications on Linkedin, one of my least checked profiles. I took note of few new things, but… Continue reading “I’m huge on Linkedin” – Avoiding Social Ego Boosts
While in my pursuit to continually educate myself, I went to WordPress meetup here in Charleston 2 nights ago. It was just $5 and both presenters were covering topics I want to learn more about. Plus, it was a great reason to leave the house, something that doesn’t happen all that often since I work from a laptop! Being Dwarfed… Continue reading How I had to Humble Myself to Learn More
When I woke up today I had no idea what I was going to write about. My list of ideas seemed shorter than ever, and none of the topics staring at me through the steam of my coffee seemed worthwhile.
