I don’t have a good reason for not mentioning it before. It didn’t occur to me I suppose. Better late than never…

Sometimes folks get down about the state of the economy or interest rates or the sub-prime market or whatever.
The thing to remember is that there are more ideas and opportunity today than there was yesterday. I don’t just mean gadgets either. Most new businesses that start do so because they’ve figured out a way to [...]

I’ve had this nagging feeling in the back of my mind for a while now.
I read blogs like James Brausch’s where he advocates creating and promoting your own products. Makes sense. And then I read posts by Ryan Healy and Clayton Makepeace and it seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

I posted about the guy who got food poisoning right before trying to get away with [...]
I recently began negotiations with a potential client.
He was an agency and his website looked pretty good. He knew of Hopkins, Caples, AWAI, etc. I wasn’t going to have to educate him on direct marketing. Big plus.
From looking at his current landing page, I could tell he needed some real copywriting help. [...]

I’m a regular reader of around 20 different blogs. One of my favorites is James Brausch.
James posted a challenge entitled, “A Mindset Challenge.” He’s challenging folks to interact with homeless folks and do something like give them some socks and report back their experience.
It reminds me of 2 stories:
During college, I belonged to a [...]

I’ve wondered why some words perform statistically better than others. Why is “know” statistically terrible but “realize” is okay and “be aware of” is outstanding?
One theory I have has to do with water crystals. Dr Emoto experimented with words attached to samples of water. He then froze the water and took pictures [...]
