It’s what you do before you start

I’m the kind of person who decides to organize before I start working. It’s what I do before I start. For example, this morning I sat down and wrote my master task list of projects I had to do today but then I decided to organize some photos from the past 5 years. Why? Because I wanted to find one [...]

Are you ready to hula hoop?

Ahh the memories of summer in suburbia. That would be the short stint I spent in the San Fernando Valley. Taking the beach bus to Malibu, walking barefoot to the market, swimming in highly chlorinated pools and spending hours hula hooping.
I was a skinny teenager so the hula hoop seemed to stay up- don’t ask me how. Somehow, standing [...]

The Dark Ego

There’s a place where the ego hides- it slows you down, pushes your behind and sets you up for grief.  At my Yoga retreat last year when I was struggling on this difficult pose, my Yoga instructor Joe came by to ask me to stop trying the pose because my ego was leading it. He [...]

Cold and Hungry Emails

I have to admit I haven’t done any business development in many months because I’ve been so busy with projects. But all projects seem to have the same lifespan- they all end at the same time. Actually I wouldn’t have it any other way- it’s my business cycle and after 15 years, it works.
I’m spending [...]

Are car salesmen sales 2.0 ready?

I test drove what will be my new car yesterday- it was made for me. I know it sounds so superficial to get so excited about a new car and since I haven’t bought one for 8 years, I think I’m allowed to indulge.

Random Acts of Kindness

I went to the REM concert last night which was fantastic. It was at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. A historic amphitheatre modeled after old Greek architecture with concrete seats. That means when I finally got to my section 3 to sit on seat 6, it was wet. As a matter of fact, the entire [...]
