by | posted in: All Posts, Wisdom I've Hopefully Learned | 0

Hi Guys, Mark here! I’ve learned a valuable lesson, or insight that has occurred to me in the past 6 months: There are lots of people out there who will fight tooth and nail to be RIGHT. Even if they are wrong, reckless and just downright stupid. They have to be right at all costs. They wear me out. I fight to be Smart. Even if I appear wrong, or if I risk being … Read More

Tips – Never Underestimate the Baby Wipe

by | posted in: All Posts, Tips I've Acquired Over the Years | 0

My Mother swore by baby wipes. She never left home without them. She always counseled us to have them, and NEVER to buy the brand name because the generic were just as good. Like the fact that she carried instant coffee in a zip lock bag in her purse (because she could not understand how people didn’t have coffee, even instant around their houses, so she cheerfully brought her own). She never left the … Read More

Life Lessons – Taskcrastinating

by | posted in: All Posts, Life Lessons | 0

“TASKCRASTINATING” I coined this term about 10 years ago. The process of allowing oneself to be drawn into tasks that seem important and are seemingly essential to something but in actuality are a way of stalling actually doing the work. It’s a form of distraction that feels productive. I’ve been there. You know what I do? I set the stove timer for 20 minutes and then force myself to do the things that I … Read More

Life Lessons – What is Sales and Why do We Hate it so Much

by | posted in: All Posts, Life Lessons | 0

One thing that I believe is that we are all NOT born salespeople. Some of us are better at it, and some of us, INCLUDING ME, hate it. Loathe it. Makes me feel as cheap as a sleazy used car salesman. My old Internet buddy Brian J. Johnson said to me once “we’re salesman, after all” and I cringed. I just had a bad association with it. But making good money on the internet … Read More
