There are a few, but here’s a big one that I haven’t been able to conquer. Adam stopping by again… I don’t do much client work. Hadn’t done it in a number of years. For one, I struggled with sales. If you want to sign clients for any of your services, sales is a BIG […]

I missed his call. Adam stopping by again. Putting yourself out there (online) ain’t an easy thing to do. In fact, it’s the biggest roadblock for most. That and unrealistic expectations (this applies to everything — business, relationships, marriage, parenting, losing weight, gaining muscle, eating healthier, etc).  We’re a society that struggles massively with patience. Myself included. /Mini

Been using this the last couple of weeks. And it’s been working quite well. Adam stopping by again. I hired a business coach last fall. A colossal waste of time/money/energy. In desperation mode, I hired another coach just a few short weeks later. He wasn’t much better, as he let go of his entire staff

I feel all entrepreneurs should lift weights. There’s a plethora of benefits, here’s one not talked about enough… Adam stopping by again… I got back into the gym about six weeks ago. I haven’t lifted weights in 3ish years. Lifting four days/week, and feel absolutely amazing! One of the side benefits of lifting is… You

This might seem painfully obvious to some of you. Adam stopping by again… I got an Apple Watch for Christmas. I committed to 10k steps daily for 100 consecutive days. I made it to 104 days before ending the streak. I was tracking my weight loss. As I had a suspicion that walking 10k steps

I struggled with my decision. Tossing & turning till after midnight. Christmas was 104 days ago. One of my presents was an Apple Watch. I challenged myself to walking 10,000 steps a day for 100 consecutive days. One million steps. Roughly 450 miles. I completed the challenge on Sunday. And struggled with stopping as I’d

It only took 14,844 days. I volunteered to coach Ashton’s soccer team. They’re 1st & 2nd graders that practice every Monday. No games, unfortunately. The older kids (3rd – 5th graders) needed an assistant coach, too. They practice on Tuesdays, with games on Thursdays. Volunteering one day turned into three days faster than Reese’s Peanut

You might be surprised by the suspect. Adam stopping by again… It’s been a minute. I’ve sent one email in the last 12 days. Yuck. Anywhoo… I received an email last Thursday from Chime (my bank) about a transaction being declined at a 7/11. The weird thing? I was at the house. My debit card was

This happened a few years ago. According to my old boss, it’s happening again. Adam stopping by again… I worked on the Aria hotel here in Vegas from 2007 – 2009, as a project engineer. Jeff, was a superintendent and a boss of mine. In 2011, he needed a website. I charged him $300 for the site, and

A valuable lesson that took me 4 – 5 years to learn. You can avoid a heap ton of pain, struggle and shame with this one email. Adam stopping by again… When I got into the entrepreneurial game back in 2010. I spent…ahem, wasted, truckloads of time trying to convince people (usually to buy my
