Mix it up! Please!
Someone said to me recently, "Gee, I only have one night in New York. It's too bad I can't see client A because I should really see client B, instead."
Labels That Mean Nothing

My Website Moved to Page One - Two Approaches That Helped
Ever hear of somebody that "married up?" When your website is getting off the rearmost pages, you too can marry up. Here are a couple of tips for moving your website higher in the organic listings. It worked for me! I hope it works for you.

Culture and Communication
Selling and servicing across cultures is more common now than it has ever been. And as more and more of us come across international sales opportunities I thought it would be worth while looking at some of the challenges we may come across when trying to communicate effectively cross culturally in sales or other business areas. In many of the articles I have written I advocate for open, honest, trust based relationships. And I still do, however being a direct, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is person that is what I value most. Therefore, by contrast, I can often find indirect, seemingly non-committal, indecisive communication a real chore. ‘Just get to the point’ I hear myself say. Or ‘are you just saying “yes” to just be nice or do you really want to go ahead?” Aaggh.

The Source of Oracle’s Wisdom: How Ellison Achieved Success
“There's a wonderful saying that's dead wrong,” says Ellison. “‘Why did you climb the mountain?' ‘I climbed the mountain because it was there.’ That's utter nonsense…You climbed the mountain because you were there, and you were curious if you could do it. You wondered what it would be like.”

Control Your Attitude to Improve Your Communications
Are you curious why some people allow themselves to get into arguments and altercations over seemingly nonsense issues?

Misleading Mind-Sets, and Powerful Heart-Sets
Mind-sets can be accurate from a rational point of view but still be wrong. For example, a management professor at Yale University once responded to a student's proposal of a reliable overnight service that it was a "concept that is interesting and well informed, but in order to earn better than a C the idea must be feasible." Fred Smith went on to found the Federal Express Corporation. In the end, the professor's mind-set was wrong because his idea of what was feasible was limited. What is feasible, functional, possible, or proper to one person may be utter nonsense to a person who is working from the heart.

Using Social Networking Sites to Build Your List of Followers in Three Simple Steps
There's a lot of talk about social media marketing and a lot of debate about the ROI but here my take on why you should invest time, resources and energy into building a profile across different social networking platforms and how you can use your profile to drive traffic to your website. With so many social networking sites out there it's easy to get lost in the woods, struggling to find your way around and find yourself camped out, talking nonsense with the social media fools, freaks and geeks sending postcards, virtual drinks and all those other latest social applications floating around the social media universe.
Hydroponic Grow Closet: The Perfect Place to Grow your Own Food
I recently had a response to one of my videos on growing in hydroponics and it said, more or less, that we should all stop denying the fact that we only need a hydroponic grow closet for one crop and one crop only. What absolute nonsense! The world would be starving if it wasn’t for the producers of food using hydroponics and a hydroponic grow closet is just a miniature version for us to use in our own homes. At the moment, I am growing broccoli, lettuce and cucumbers in my hydroponic grow closet and boy, do they taste good!
How to start off fresh each day
Maria Robinson said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.” As you may have gathered by now, it becomes imperative that...
Recovery or Double Dip Recession
Recovery or double dip recession; That issue is sharply dividing many economists, because no one is sure what impact the current nonsense we keep hearing over the airwaves will have on the overall market and the broad economy. What impact will the November elections have on our economy? What about the Bush Tax cuts, Cap and Trade and the impact of "Health Care Change"? These four questions alone represent a lot of uncertainty. Terms like "Jobless Recovery" -- "The Summer of Recovery" and "Jobs Saved" almost make me want to puke.

Life/work balance is nonsense
I hear a lot of talk about life/work balance and I think most of it is nonsense. The word balance for me implies equal. I prefer the word harmony, therefore life/work harmony. My personal and business life are not equal or in balance and are never likely to be. They are in harmony with one another, that is, they work together like a symphony, two sides of the same coin.
