Fear

I just finished reading The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.  I thought I would share a quote: These are serious fears.  But they’re not the real fear.  Not the Master Fear, the Mother of all Fears that’s so close to us that even when we verbalize it we don’t believe it. Fear That We [...]

Site Update, iPhone, Lifestream

Site Update I recently shutdown a number of accounts at social networking sites.  This site contained a number of widgets and links to those sites.  So, I decided it was time for a little bit of a facelift to the site’s theme. The new theme is meant to be much more clean and compact.  The [...]

Last Friday, Jay and myself went to Quente II.  Quente is a fashion show that was hosted by Noot Seear to benefit Rose Charities.  Here is an interview with Noot Seear about last year’s event: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wi7kB6V-lA[/youtube] Jay and I showed up at the Shaughnessy mansion looking hotter than hot as usual.  I dressed down but made [...]

I Am Fast!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing [...]

Meaningful Games

I am often asked what I mean when I use the term meaningful with regards to games. Most people consider games a distraction or a chance to turn their brains off at the end of the day. The word game has a negative connotation. Adults have hobbies and pastimes and play sports. Kids are supposed [...]

March Recap

March was a good month in terms of blogging. I was able to crank out 7 blog posts in March including a post with video. Look for more media rich content in the future. I’ll continue to focus on generating higher quality, unique, editorial and opinionated content. I’m focusing on adding more positivity to the [...]

Tools For Improving Focus

I recently did a talk for a group of friends on productivity and focusing. I thought that others may also find this talk valuable. I took my notes and put together a Keynote presentation with voice-over. Enjoy. Let me know if you found it useful. [youtube]60lgXPPAIfM[/youtube]

Rules of Communication: Not Trying To Be Rude

I am connected and online almost all of the time. I’m also known to send almost all of my phone calls to voice mail. I don’t reply to many emails either. I’m not trying to be rude. I am busy. You are busy. We are all busy. Myself and most of the people in my [...]

February Recap

February was an excellent month! February 1st was my last day at work. I spent the rest of the month getting the business up and running. From incorporation to marketing to accounting there were a lot of things to get out of the way. Frankly, there was a lot to learn. I was starting from [...]
