Have you ever had one of those days when things just weren't working for you? For some reason, today is that day for me, and I'm typing this to you from DFW Airport. My morning started trying to find a Starbucks via Hertz's Neverlost system, but every time I tried to go to a Starbucks (there were several within miles), it would say "you have arrived" and there wasn't a Starbucks I could see anywhere in sight. After 15 minutes driving around for coffee I said, "this is…
When Customers Become Walking Advertisements I don't think it is too difficult to create a company people will love and respect so much they will tell the world about it. Companies of course try to attract customers to get them in their door, but are some companies simply looking to get customers in the building, or are they looking to build relationships with their customers? I think you can build a relationship with your customers through your brand, transparency, serving the community it serves, customer service, quality products,…
Escape the Rat Race, Fire Your Boss, and Live Life on YOUR Terms I purchased this book from Amazon.com last week, and it sat on my coffee table until today. I can't remember the last time I've picked up a book and read it all within a day, but that is what I did with The Unemployed Millionaire by Matt Morris (I started it at a coffee shop this morning and finished it at home tonight).

Every morning I get up, shower, put on a shirt and tie, take my dog outside, and take my son to daycare the mornings I have him. From daycare (or straight from home) I usually sit in traffic round trip for 40 to 60 minutes a day. Don't get me wrong, I…
We went to San Francisco yesterday and started things off right by going to Taylor's which has awesome burgers and sweet potato fries. We surprised our birthday boy at the Motown Madness musical. Motown isn't my favorite music in the world, but I mentioned before going in that as long as I'm not the one singing, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Little did I know, almost halfway through the musical, they would pull me up on stage to sing and dance. Let me tell you I put up…
Went to Lake Merritt this afternoon for a 3.4-mile walk, which was fun because the weather was beautiful today. After the walk, we went to Fenton's Ice Cream in Oakland because we couldn't possibly have a calorie deficit. We then walked down Piedmont Street and found Gaylord's Coffee, which was a funky coffee shop.
