This Book is Deceptive!!!

June 24, 2010

When I chose “Take The Bull By The Horns” (a small 6×8 book written by Gayle Lantz) from the shelf in the bookstore, I was looking for a quick read that would help up my average of books read for the year. I flipped through it and saw that it was less than 180 pages, […]

Starbucks and Free Wi-Fi

Starbucks and Free Wi-Fi

June 16, 2010

Slate.com posted a recent article touting how smart Starbucks is to finally offer free Wi-Fi to their patrons, and I disagree. I’ve actually given this a lot of thought over the years (you’d be surprised at just how much time I’ve thought about this exact subject!), and here’s my two-cents on the matter… 1. Agreed. […]

Don’t live in the past, but it’s a great place to visit

Don’t live in the past, but it’s a great place to visit

June 9, 2010

What’s the old cliche… those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it? I’m going to crawl out on a limb and say that it’s not always a bad thing. I am constantly amazed at the limitations people put on themselves: “I’m not smart enough to do this.” “I don’t have […]

Are Your Ideas Crazy Enough?

May 26, 2010

Big Creativity in a Small Space

May 13, 2010

Because of the limitation of physical space in overcrowded Hong Kong, apartments are small and expensive.  Gary Chang is an architect who designed his 344 sq. ft. apartment with the capability to transform into 24 different designs — all by just sliding panels and walls. You deal with limitations (though most are not quite so […]

Would You Hear Your Customer’s S.O.S.?

Would You Hear Your Customer’s S.O.S.?

May 11, 2010

Are you making it easy for customers to contact you in the way THEY prefer to communicate?  I recently made a new connection via social media with someone in Columbus that works in media advertising.  We have several other friends in common and decided to meet for coffee “in the real world.”  While in the […]

Make Up Your Mind

Make Up Your Mind

May 11, 2010

One of my favorite quotes from Abraham Lincoln is “People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”  Not only have I found that be extremely true over the years, but the originator of the quoted pretty much lived it himself. Lincoln’s mother died when he was nine years old, he […]
