I recently had a conversation with several people about social media in regards to where it was 1, 2, and 3 years ago compared to today. A year and a half ago (roughly) when I got involved, there was far more debate about whether or not social networking/ media was worth the time … [Read more...]
Talk Vs. Action
I use to think that action always outweighed talk, now I am finding that they are equal in importance for numerous reasons. 1) If you say you're going to do something you should follow through with action and fulfill the words. 2) Your actions should match your words; for … [Read more...]
The Lost Art Of Communication
The last four months or so I have been dealt some rather difficult situations when it comes to communicating with customers, etc. I have dealt with the following "types": those that never want to hear your voice only their own, those that don't ever talk so you can't get proper … [Read more...]
Where Does The Time Go?
I think I need a time auditor...I look back over January and don't seem to know what I spent 31 days doing. Obviously I'm kidding a little bit but the general point is that time flies by and I'll never get it back, which is why I've talked before about trying to slow things down … [Read more...]
You Have To Do It This Way…
...or do you? I think, now more than ever, there is no one way to achieve success (however you define it). In my grandparents day, and even my parents to some degree, (I'm 33) there was an equation you had to go by to achieve what they (whoever they are) called success. The most … [Read more...]

I was just taking a moment to look back over my day as to what was accomplished, what needs to be accomplished, and what needs to be outlined for tomorrow. For me that means running my house painting business here in California, as well as a window cleaning business and a … [Read more...]
Get Rich For Free?
You know what I love, people that say they aren't selling anything but they really are selling something. It's just kind of funny. Another thing that has come with social media/ networking is a lot of people that say they are helping you and they're going to give you the answer … [Read more...]
Business As Usual
Business is a funny thing that has gone through a ton of transformations in my 33 years. I remember being a kid watching my grandfather (Papa) run his business in southern California and it seemed really easy, and it seemed like he always had money. The other side of that is that … [Read more...]
Um, hello…Remember Customer Service?
I'd have to say, this is a big pet peeve of mine. I have worked for and seen so many people that don't seem to understand how relevant/ significant/ important customer service is. Some people may refer to customer service as: "kissing ass", "manipulation", and so on. But here's … [Read more...]
Book Review #1 Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk
I'm going to go ahead and be honest here, I do not read as many books as I want because of the a.d.d. (which I don't really have, I think). However, I did recently buy the audio version of Gary Vaynerchuk's book called Crush It; the great thing about it is that he does the audio … [Read more...]
