There’s a lot of talk these days about something called Cancel Culture. As far as cancel culture goes, I would love to cancel my subscription to Boys Life Magazine, I just can’t find where to do it. I’d love to cancel those Pharma commercials that say, “Don’t take this drug if you’re allergic to this…
Let me ask you a simple question. Have you ever noticed that you always find things in the last place you look? Okay. It’s kind of a joke, but it’s true, right? Today, I want to talk about the difference between being organized and disorganized. To BE Organized or NOT To Be Organized. That is…
There are so many tools out there to help you set up your marketing. You can use a marketing calendar, marketing programs that allow you to schedule out email and social media for months, but what is often missing is the strategy that pulls it all together. What happens is that people tend to use…
Occasionally I talk to these businesses that tell me, “You know what? We like what you have to say, but we’re just going to hire a marketing person.” The question I ask them, which usually gets them to stop and think is, “Which one? Are you going to hire an SEO person, web guy, email…
I hope your 2020 worked out okay. Some of us had a bad year, while some of us had a good year, business-wise. It’s just about over and we’re about to start 2021. It’s that time of year to say – out with the old and in with the new! Every single year, on New…
I’m not sure if you’re into streaming TV or not but if you haven’t seen “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix, I highly recommend it. It’s an awesome mini-series about this little girl who goes from being an orphan to the queen of the chess world. Now, the story is very complex and I don’t want…
Instant Karma There was a person who used to sit with me on the Board of Directors of the United Way. Her name is Alma Harrell, and she said something that always stuck with me. I asked her, “Alma, how you doing?” So she’d reply, “I’m too blessed to be stressed.” I think Alma really…
Our new dog, Layla, loves toys. As a matter of fact, we had about 25 toys left over from our last dog that we never donated or threw out. Now, we’ve recycled them. When I say recycled, I mean recycled. Our last dog (Buddy Guy) would never chew or destroy anything. Our new dog (Layla),…
I’m sure by now you are aware that we are in the midst of a time of crisis and people are freaking out and panicking. Schools are closing, restaurants are closing, business is generally slowing down. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, but that doesn’t mean you have to panic. What it…
Over the weekend, we decided to watch an old movie. When I say old, it’s not really old. We watched “The Matrix” and it’s now 20 years old (1999), so it’s been almost 20 years. If you haven’t seen it, it’s about this alternate universe or alternate reality. And that’s kind of what I want…
