Drowning in Debt? Throw Them a Brick!

I was watching an advertisement for H&R Block today (yes, it is that time of year again) and I noticed something that completely blew me away. All the ads I’ve seen are based around a person getting their money back instantly and being able to enjoy their money right away. Right now, H&R Block is [...]

Where to begin?

I’m not sure how I can explain my sudden disappearance from the blogging world. It was as if one day I was enjoying myself and making sure to write something new each day, then WHAM. I just stopped. I don’t think it was anything specific that directed me. It just seemed that all of a [...]

Yeah, but what do I want?

Continuing my 62 Success Principles Challenge, I’ve come up on a very interesting chapter. This one is titled “Decide What You Want” and the basic premise is that in order to work towards something, you need to know what you’re going to learn (Be), experience (Do) and get to play with (have). One of the [...]

The Success Principles – 62 Step Challenge

I’ve been reading Jack Canfield’s book, The Success Principles, for the last few days and I realized the great opportunity that I am passing up by not writing about it. This book is basically structured into about 62 chapters – each teaching a different life lesson. The thing I like about it is that you [...]

Organization and other difficult things

I’ve experienced first-hand the stress that comes with disorganization. As I mentioned in a previous posting, I have been having my house painted for the last few days.

Anyone who writes about my competition and links to either this post or the RSS Competition post will be entered for the following: A Lewis Empire site review [...]

Rock Paper Scissors Roundup

My company recently had a RPS competition – that’s rock, paper, scissors to the layman. There were 64 comptetiors – who I call ‘athleates’ – and it was a ton of fun. You’ll be happy to know that I ended up in the top 8 with some solid victories. Not only that, but the entire [...]

Net Out Even

I had a meeting with a client last week and we were discussing options for his multiple properties and what the costs would be for moving his operation. The funny thing was, the more we talked about it, the more it seemed like every alternative we came up with had a zero benefit once all [...]
