CAUTION: Don’t Hide Behind Your Computer
For most of this year, I’ve been hunkered down, hidden behind my Dell laptop screen. I’ve been working day and night in order to lay a solid foundation for my Resort Lifestyle Network business. I’ve been building websites from scratch. I’ve been doing lots of research. I’ve been writing a lot of content. I’ve been playing around with graphic design and branding. I’ve been taking lots of online courses. I’ve been building databases. I’ve been putting [...]

As you cross the bridge over the great divide from employee to entrepreneur, you must burn that bridge down or else you’ll find yourself constantly distracted, looking back over your shoulder. Burning bridges keeps you from backstepping into past illusions [...]

[BLACK] TIP: How To Attract More Money
Everyone is working so hard these days to make more money and survive, including myself. We’re laser focused on acquiring the actual dollars and cents to pay our bills that most of us, I’m afraid, are forgetting how money really flows to us.

[DOUBLE DIAMOND] TIP: Take Time To Reflect
Like most people, I spent this past weekend reflecting on the last ten years since 9/11/01. The memorials certainly were top of mind, but the biggest reflection trigger was having what I hope to be the last garage sale of my life (although I’m not overly optimistic considering that was the exact same sentiment I expressed after the last three). This time, I do believe it is true. I’ve changed. Clearing the Clutter No longer interested in [...]

CAUTION: Average Is Over
I was watching Thomas Friedman’s (Pulitzer Prize winning author and NY Times columnist) appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight last night, and I was struck by something he said. In talking about education in America and the new world economy, he suggested we ponder the serious question: ”What world are we living in?” This discussion is one he addresses in his new book: .

[GREEN] TIP: Do You Need a Founding Partner?
Don’t Go Solo Are you doing it all yourself? There’s something to said about sole proprietors. They get to call all the shots and make all the decisions.

CAUTION: Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself
Don’t do it. I’ve always been one to work hard. Most entrepreneurs do — especially during the start up phase. We’re so fired up that we work day and night to bring our ideas to light. This tireless effort is exhausting enough, but when you throw your negative internal critic into the mix, it’s difficult to stay positive and proud. “Why can’t I get more done?” “Who do I think I am?” ”Why can’t I figure it [...]
