    MINDSET 
    I told a mentor of mine that is cashed out and living oceanfront in Belize that I needed to build one more company before I could join him. His response was interesting. “Just wanted you to know I care. As to needing one more…not true. A change in your paradigm from, “How much is enough? to...

    “By working faithfully 8 hours a day, you may eventually get to be the boss and work 12 hours a day. ~ Robert Frost” ― M.J. DeMarco, The Millionaire Fastlane It's Sunday night.

    Forms on Facebook

    MARKETING

    Computer Nerds - BREAK This Industry

    IDEA

You can "share" the post from within Facebook, but in the case of an industrial user like me that's an arduous clerical task. There are companies that can do this, but their pricing is based on "per page" or "per...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Fundamentals I was a youth football coach for one year. That year, my team of 8th grade misfits went undefeated. At the end of the year, I was asked to never come back and coach again, because I wouldn’t teach the kids the way the “system” wanted me to. I was one of eight teams at the 8th...
