How I love my smartphone! I know I know I promised to post the funny story of going from the momentous POS (and that’s not Point-of-Sale) Samsung Moment to the HTC Evo but I’ve been a bit busy lately. So much going on out there in the world since my last post. The rise of [...]

The Real Life of an Entrepreneur
January 14th, 2011 · No Comments · Business, Careers, entrepreneurs, start-ups
To be an entrepreneur or to stick with Corporate America…quite a question, huh? Just recently a friend (this one is dedicated to you Eggman) sent me an article that was basically bemoaning the fact that being an entrepreneur does not give you freedom but instead does just the opposite. Being an entrepreneur, having lived in [...]

Technology is advancing at such a rate that the barriers to entry for so many industries are dropping to a point where they are nearly negligible. What does this mean? It means that anyone with a good idea and the balls to actually go for something big (or just the time and talent to go [...]

October 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Business, Business Practices, entrepreneurs, start-ups
Be patient, stay creative, and run your operation with bare-bones resources. It’s a all possible believe it or not!

The Land of Opportunity: Where Is It?
August 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Business, entrepreneurs, start-ups
We’ve all heard that the United States is the land of opportunity. Is that still true? Seems to me that we’re in one hell of a recession right now. Is it still possible to create something and make an amazing fortune like the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, Vanderbilt? Perhaps we should ask Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, [...]

We keep seeing news blurb after news blurb about companies recording record profits (Exxon Mobile anyone?) or being bought for billions [...]

March 4th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Business, business ideas, Business Practices, entrepreneurs, start-ups
As an entrepreneur I continually look for ways to improve my current life, my current process, my current project and even look for new projects to take on.
