This is my why. It’s a picture of what looks to be a severed chicken head that has been attached to a piece of metal through two rivets. One through the eye and the other through the mouth. It’s pretty gross. I get that. However, this picture is what drives me to wake up each…
Content is king. Or maybe it’s queen. I can’t remember. I just know that’s it’s really, really, really important. And while there might be a whole bunch of search engine or social media related reasons why it’s important enough to warrant three “really’s” there’s an even better reason to put it at the top of…
I believe it was Jim Rohn who said it first. “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” While I’m not suggesting that you kick your current friends and family to the curb, what I am suggesting is that if you want to be seen as an influencer, you…

Create a case study on a company you never did any work for. Or purchase likes, tweets and shares from some kid who’s still living in Mom’s basement. You…
It’s said that if you put value out into the world it will come back to you in multiples. They call it the law of giving and receiving. And while I would like to think that I have always made this law a practice in my life, I would be lying if I told you…
I used to be small. I don’t mean in size. Although I suppose I was at one point. I mean in “being.” Allow me to explain. It all started when I was a kid. As the story goes, it was one of those holidays where the entire family was over our house to celebrate. Aunts….
I’m a perfectionist. And I’m not talking about being a little perfectionist-y. I’m talking about being a full blown, 100% pure, grade A, unadulterated perfectionist. Don’t believe me?
