After going to the annual Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce dinner this past weekend, I was reminded of my ongoing struggle with certain types of people. The types of people I’m referring to are those that find it useful to carry a large ego. When people feel the need to tell you … [Read more...]
Random Observations by Me
I had a really cool conversation the other day with someone that did not understand social media but wants to be involved (for his business) to some degree. We talked about a Facebook fan page and blogging, which I felt would be the most effective for his situation. The coolest … [Read more...]
What To Do When All Creativity Is Gone
Well, first things first, stop being so dramatic...all creativity is never gone. We have the world at our fingertips but we still suffer from writers block, mental block, and all kinds of other blocks from time to time. Some things that have worked for me in freeing me of those … [Read more...]

I continue to be baffled by people in SOCIAL media that have lost all memory that it is SOCIAL. We’ve seen some people in SOCIAL media that have grown quite large in popularity, to the point where they think they are ‘TOO BIG to fail’…I call bullshit. Recently I’ve been reminded … [Read more...]

The Excuses Runneth Over!
I believe we are each stuck in a story, a story we choose out of options given. We are forced to choose one of these because that’s the way it’s supposed to be. If we are one of the lucky few we learn this and are able to break the shackles and choose a story that may not yet be … [Read more...]
Poor Poor Pitiful Me…Or Not
