Learn To Grow
I read a lot of quotes as you may or may not know about me already. I find them motivational and thought provoking and of course sometimes humorous. A quote that I read this morning stood out and it is by Ronald E. Osborne. He said, “Unless you do something beyond what you’ve already mastered,…

Read MoreHandling Inbox Bloat
If you are like many professionals you run into this problem where your inbox grows and grows faster than you can keep up with so you just scan for things you recognize and tell your self you will go back and check the rest later. I know I’m guilty of this recently I looked over…
Read MoreWhat’s in a Word?
I’m not sure if this is a rant or just sharing a frustration I see from time to time. I do have a fascination with words, like definitions, origins, and how funny the English language can be. Growing up in a single parent home with my brothers and sisters you learned to appreciation what you…

OK a quick web rant today. In recent searches for some technology upgrades I needed/wanted to make I’ve noticed something a little irritating to me and in my opinion is not a good marketing strategy. (I’d love to hear if you agree.) First let me explain… You search the internet for a what you’re looking…
Read MoreAre You “Puzzled”
Just read a post on the blog of a friend of mine. (Jim Howard’s Blog at Live Life Revolution) It’s titled “Build The “Right” Puzzle” and with out giving to much away he does a great job “outlining” the process of building your puzzle so that you can get back on track. If you have…
Read MoreCustomer Usability
This in my opinion is one of the most over looked aspects of any business. My interpretation of customer usability is getting the customer to use or consume your product. With the recent holidays just passing my wife and I purchased a couple of gifts for each other for the house. We picked up a…
