    ·

    By the Ocean Partly Cloudy 76 Degrees 6:45 a.m. “What’s going on?” That’s a question you ask a lot when you’re building a business. You look out at what’s happening, or at what’s NOT happening, and you do your best to figure it out. The answer to the question is obvious of course. But we…

  • Show and Sell

    ·

    By the Ocean Sunny 77 Degrees 6:12 a.m. If you can’t show the world what makes you different, there’s probably no point in saying it either. Because saying things doesn’t get the message through. No one even believes what you’re saying. So that leaves SHOWING them. You can SHOW in a lot of ways. You…

  • Think and Grow Rich?

    ·

    By the Ocean Sunny 76 Degrees 6:31 a.m. I remember first watching The Secret movie back in 2006/2007, sitting on my couch, in the middle of Nowheresville, Indiana.

  • Finding Your People

    ·

    By the Ocean Partly Cloudy 76 Degrees 7:08 a.m. The Matrix isn’t stupid. It’s neutralizing the decentralizing power of the web by re-centralizing attention collection into a few distinct places.
