New Year’s DreamChicken

Group deal/coupon websites are all the rage, so far my favorite one is “DealChicken” but you are probably more familiar with Groupon.   I believe New Year’s Resolutions are kind of like “Groupon’s” for your dreams. If you are unfamiliar with these group coupon websites the basic idea is the website strikes up deals with local businesses with outrageous deals like 50%... read more

A Case For The Yellow Light

Recently I was “Running a Red Light”** and I had a bit of an epiphany about how under appreciated the “Yellow Light” is in today’s society.

Steve Jobs is Gone, It’s Your Turn

I must admit, I have not spent much time learning about Steve Jobs outside of what I have heard in the media.  I have no doubt he was an absolute amazing man.

Are You Willing To Take the Steps?

Are you willing to take the Steps? This is a really simple concept. Most of us are not willing to do the simple daily actions to reach a goal. Our EGO would much rather wait it out for that one perfect day.  The day when everything is just perfect and we have everything we need to be successful. But our EGO is a self centered saboteur.  It will self preserve at all costs.  There will  never be a... read more
