Hey there peeps. Happy Monday! I actually was tied up most of the weekend attending an Internet Marketing seminar here in Orlando, at the invitation of Ken McArthur to be an expert panelist. (So honored by the way!) To tell you a bit about it, I decide to create a quick video (gasp!) and share my thoughts. (I know, you’re still reeling over the fact I’ve done another video...
This is another guest post by dear James. I thought it suitable as we discussed colors and branding earlier in the week. Now James will talk to you about designing a killer poster that can then be printed out and used shamelessly as a wicked promo tool for your biz. And incidentally, colors happen play a huge role in their creation! 😉 If you’re a person who enjoys designing posters, you can...

OK, so maybe not with a shoestring and a thumbtack. But with a brain definitely (minus the pea) as well as an Internet connection and a lap top. Or at least access to an Internet connection and a lap top. C’mon, we’re not going all MacGyver here, sheesh. Anyhoo. I thought I’d write a post today tonight 2 days ago, exploring two very viable ways a motivated chap (or chappete)...

We’re just hitting our 2nd week into the New Year and I’m sure you’ve all been busy bees, jotting down your intentions to make this your year. Like the Best. Year. Ever. (RIGHT?!) Or don’t you believe in New Year’s resolutions anymore? That’s cool; I don’t really dig the term resolutions either. Sounds too much like absolutions, which in my warped brain starts making me think I need to be...
Hey my lovelies! I did promise more videos, didn’t I? Good, bad or ugly! Please excuse the rag-a-muffin look, it does seem to come naturally. 😉 So. Here is a very short video, dedicated to Thom of InTreeHouses.com and to YOU, who should all totally subscribe to his publication. #JustSayin’. Thom- this thank you’s for you, kid. 😉 (Damn I crack myself up sometimes…) Thom...
