If you’ve been involved in, or studied “sales” at all, you are aware that much of the work comes in actually asking for the sale. If you skip this step, no sale is likely to be made, and no-one wins.
Pretty obvious.
But, let me tell you a quick story.
In the past 5 weeks me and [...]

You Can’t KNOW Until You Actually DO
March 15, 2009 5 Comments
Lot’s has happened these past few months. I’m going to share just one thing tonight.
Surprisingly, what I share below did not come with any kicking and screaming!
I’ve re-learned a very important lesson, that seeing/understanding something is not the same thing as *knowing*. This came to play when I got an iPhone for my upcoming trip [...]
Do You REALLY Want to be Found Online?
January 8, 2009 17 Comments
Maybe you’re like me…
Thinking you want your site to be found online, but not doing nearly enough to make sure it happens.
You figure…
I’ll get to it…
I’ll take care of it when I get my product or service ready…
The traffic I get now is just fine…
And the BIG LIE: If I build it, they will come!
I [...]

I was going to just laugh this post off. But, it’s actually only one of about 100 posts in my RSS feeds today the caught my eye enough to read, let alone comment on (no I don’t read more than 2 or 3 [...]
Don’t Use Catch-All Addresses, Advice to Businesses
September 29, 2008 17 Comments
I’ve been reminded recently that sometimes what seems like a great idea, can totally backfire. You may have experienced something similar.
My Great Idea was to use different email addresses for everything I sign up for, whether online or off. Each domain can have a “catch-all” email address where all email which doesn’t have a corresponding [...]
Something is Happening (not that it’s obvious)
September 12, 2008 7 Comments
Yes, this is going to be one of those posts which happen from time to time on blogs that aren’t updated in a while.
But… It will not make a feeble attempt to explain away the reasons, or apologize.
Quite simply, I’ve been focusing on other projects. I’ll probably talk about them here in the future, but [...]
Resistance is Fruitful
June 6, 2008 12 Comments
Background: The Borg (see Star Trek Next Generation, and others) are known for their warning “Resistance is Futile”. Yet in nearly every TV episode, the good-guys, known as the Federation, resist and come out ahead.
There’s a general direction in the law-of-attraction that directs you to avoid resistance, and create your own “flow” of action [...]
Your Mental Nooks and Crannies Hold the Keys to Success
May 19, 2008 11 Comments
Even though I have a list of things to write about (even if that’s no obvious from my recent lack of activity), I was struck by a thought this afternoon. A simple thought, but one which bares repeating, and study.
It has to do with “knowing verses doing”, and how valuable experience truly is.
Backtracking a [...]
“six-pack” follow up – dang if it doesn’t work like it should!
May 6, 2008 11 Comments
In my relatively recent article “Have you been six-packed by your thinking” I talked about how your self talk could be hurting your chances of success–and even attract more of what you don’t want.
It seems simple. It seems obvious. We might say “yeah, that’s true”, but unless we start actually experimenting with, [...]
Habits and Success – Bad Driving… An Experiment (part 1)
April 29, 2008 6 Comments
It’s been a while since I posted. Not that I’ve run out of ideas… More that I’ve been distracted…
No, not by the earthquakes that have been rattling Reno lately (and another one just this moment in fact), but by two things… My many projects outside of this “internet thing”, and my HABITS. [...]
I live in Reno, NV with my wife Careen, and the ever so talented kitty named Milo. Programmer by trade, web surfer and learner for fun, I have a ton of interests, and you'll hear about each of them in time!
