Blog are still relevant today, and with the current technology we have access to for a fraction of what it was even 1 decade ago it is easier than ever to build your own website. No matter what your entrepreneurial endeavors are I highly recommend building a website around the topic or niche. I think anyone doing business on the web should have their own central place to bring visitors back to. Do not be at the mercy of the next MySpace, Friendster, Tumbler, or Blogger.com. Do not leave yourself...

We never take the first steps toward those goals because what's the point? I want to help you get past those limiting thoughts with this one simple question; If it were easy what would it look ...

November is the National Novel Writers Month, and every year thousands of people gather together (virtually) to complete a 50,000 word first draft of their novel. This event is called NaNoWriMo .

Have you ever felt stuck in your current situation? No clear path to the next steps to take you closer to your goal? I have. Many times. When I was ready to really begin redefining my life I did two things; I joined a mastermind, and I got a coach. As a result anything I have accomplished over the last year and a half has been a direct result of the influences of these people in my life. You cannot read the label when you are in the bottle, so getting a view from someone outside of the bottle ca...

The SoCal Live Music Review was my first ventures into an online presence. My first blog, podcast, and branded social media all came out of my love for live music.

We are all curious. It is in our nature. Sometimes it is good to let that curiosity out in the form of a project that is outside of the products or services you offer to your clients.

The is a power in (intentionally) creating personal projects from time to time and letting your mind explore. You never know where it may lead. Let's connect! Join my mailing l...
