Do you have your “Social Space”?
After 17 years of running businesses I have always marveled at the fact that we need to name everything in the business world. We have to give everything a three letter abbreviation or we have to create a buzz word for something that no one really gets, but heck if it has a catchy phrase, then by all mean it has to work! I do admit some of the names are so catchy that even I... Read More
So you want your own reality TV show, just join FourSquare.
Everyone seems to want everyone to know everything about anything they are doing all the time. ( Follow that? ) Me however, not so much. Let me be the first to say that I am a social media junkie, but there is a limit to the junk. I also preach that businesses will benefit and profit from social medias like FaceBook and Twitter, but again there is a limit to how they accomplish... Read More
Ping Pong anywhere, anyway. Wii meet my iPad!
Let it begin… One of our newest projects is only days away from being launched and this is one for the ages! Take an iPad and two iPhones, lay them on the table what do you see? What we saw was a ‘game board’ and two ‘controllers’. That led us to our first of a line of apps using both the iPhone and the iPad. The app is ping pong and we call it Ping Pong... Read More

I have learned more then I have taught and in the words of the greek philosopher, Aristotle, “I am what I was born to become.” I am a father, a father that did not have a father, a father that has learned from watching not from having. I am a father of 5 glorious children... Read More
Why the website? Why the posts?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to notice that I have taken my website to a new level. But why? I have explained what my goal is and the overall reason why I started writing my online book ( or e-content, blog, whatever you would like to call it ) but why else do I have this website? Truth is I love writing and when I have the time to do it it is one of those past... Read More

Myth’s About Marketing Part I
I don’t know how many times I get asked, “What is Marketing? What do you do?”. In the fact that I get asked this on a daily basis I have come up with a one line answer, “I make businesses and those that own them money.” A bold statement I know and a comment that is always followed by a one word’r “How?” It is at this point when the conversation changes from quick...

Advertising…it isn’t working
So 93% of American’s didn’t know about some product launches? Well that is just amazing! Let’s blame everything, but the real issue — advertising style.
