The meeting at Maggiano’s went very well and we got some good contacts. Mostly, though, my client and I see some great partnership opportunity with the host of that seminar. I think we will be able to work out something with them to help them expand globally and to solve some issues plaguing other countries [...]
Oh yeah! I am about head out to Maggiano’s for a business meeting -tab to be picked up by my client, so that’s always nice!
I think it will be a productive meeting and I should learn a lot and be able to contribute as well.
However, I am pushing it on time, so I’ll [...]
Ohh, Me So Hungry!
It’s 3:30pm and I’m just now catching up enough to take a lunch break for 30 minutes or so. That’s not unusual but today, for some reason, I’m really hungry!
Anyway, I spoke with my insurance claim adjuster about my uninsured motorist claim and she is working to pull my medical records. So, [...]
With the recent rash of harassing phone calls and general lack of organization on the part of the used car dealership where I bought my vehicle, I had a feeling things might not go as I had planned. And, sometimes that’s the case. The important thing is to roll with the punches and adapt accordingly.

I’ve been out running errands all morning and just now had a chance to sit down and take a look at my emails. But, lo and behold, I had another donation from someone I’ve never met before! Hello, Patrick, and thank you for the kindness!
Before I started this blog, my only recent experiences with people [...]
It’s another 5am workday apparently. I guess that’s not so bad since I slept in until about 10:30am early yesterday morning. I’ll probably have to do the same again today, but I really need to get my schedule back in sync. I put in about 16.5 hours of solid work today and I did get [...]
Those of you who know me personally, know that I have always thought of my time in terms of dollars. It goes beyond just thinking that “time is money.” It becomes something more. It becomes something quantifiable and comparative.
Viewing things this way is how I have been to able to immediately determine if something is [...]
It’s been another busy weekend for me, because January has proven to bring quite a few opportunities and I need to take advantage of as much as possible. This is especially true in my line of work because work can come in waves and then have a long drought.
Anyway, I’m making good progress, and I’m [...]
This isn’t something I just now learned but it’s more that I refined it very succinctly. It is basically thus:
“I can no longer ‘do the right thing’, if in the end, it hurts me.”
I tend to be a very compassionate person (and get taken advantage of more than not), so I doubt I will ever [...]
Ok. I have to vent a little.
I am so incredibly sick of fraud that I cannot even begin to describe my frustration. It’s been building for years inside me and seems to grow greater and greater, exponentially each year.
I own a website that basically pays members to view advertisements. For that site, the fraud comes [...]
