How’s That Thing Going? This last year the waters inside me have stirred. A lot of things have come into focus, and I see things from a different perspective a lot these days. I was reading about James Altucher’s hair the other day. Ya, I know who writes about their hair? But one look at

An Overnight Invasion Yesterday morning I woke up and started my morning routine of reading. Except for this time I had a few visitors on my kitchen countertop.  Ants… They had found something to eat. I cleaned up the area up and considered the job done. Until this morning that is. In full force, the legion of ants had invaded my kitchen. They were everywhere. In my cabinets, on my counter, and in the

The title to this were the famous words spoken by the one time head coach of the Cardinals Dennis Green. After taking a good beating from another team. I wish that was the way everything operated in the world. Hmmmm what a concept. Taking things at face value. It would be nice. But it’s not what happens.  As I walked up to the front door the

After reading some things this morning I have to admit I’m pretty fired up. Why? I can’t stand reading about things that are wrong. I opened up one of my emails to read about how the US government lost 69 million dollars last year to make pennies. With the cost of metal rising it now

Good morning. It was about mid day. I stood around in the showroom. Few customers today I thought to myself.  The usual chatter was going on with all the salesman as we stood around in the showroom. Vultures waiting. And then one started to drive into the net… A maroon and silver 1982 Suburban with a faded paint job and rusty rims. Just

Good morning It’s been a while since I last walked through a mall. But when I do go I often see a car on display there. Quit often it has a sign that says sign up to win this car. Have you ever wondered if anyone really wins the car? I mean after all… Why would they want your information if they weren’t going to give it away? Well, that’s what this article I read in The Hustle exposed the other day. Quite often these

Good morning, I recently was reading about some of the worlds largest titans exchange words about how their investment strategies are better than the others. Most of you probably knows Warren Buffett. But you may not know Elon Musk. Musk is the owner of Tesla the car company. He also created a rocket that launches satellites into space and then relands itself. I talked about Elon previously here.  Their investment strategies are completely different. Warren Buffett invests in things

Good morning. I was reading an interesting article this morning (ya, I’m running a little late on this email) from a gentleman I follow known as James Altucher. He was interviewing a lady known as Allison Task. Allison is a lady that now has a cooking show on the Food Network. But that’s not how it always was. Matter of fact at one point she couldn’t even cook. At the age of 30, she found herself lost

As you probably already know I read a lot and try to stay up on things that will add something to mine and my families life. I subscribe to a weekly email that is called the Friday Forward by Robert Glazer. I was reading a piece the other day from him about “Energy Vampires.”  What is an energy vampire? As described by a monk-turned-business consultant, Dandapani explains, we all have

Good morning. How big is too big? That’s a question I asked myself after reading an article about Wells Fargo just this morning. The tarnished reputation bank is in the spotlight again with another fine for ripping people off by selling them things they didn’t need. Matter of fact a 1 BILLION dollar fine. WOW right? Sounds like a lot of money right?  I learned long ago to ask the question
