I got some pretty shocking news yesterday: A neighbor stopped me in the morning and shared with me that another family in the neighborhood was to lose their mother later in the day. I stood and stared down the street and suddenly felt foolish that I hadn’t figured out that something was [...]

“The Middle” Scores All-Time Low in Noon-sen Ratings
Keep Doing What You’ve Done and You’ll Keep Gettin’ What You Got.
The TV show “The Middle”? It’s ok, I guess, but it’s a real mind-fuck for me to see the wife from “Raymond” and the janitor from “Scrubs” raising a family. My kids get a kick out of the goofy looking kid on the show [...]

Hang Your Shingle, Come What May
Start Getting Noticed. Put “it” out there and you’d be surprised what happens.
Sure your detracters will have a bigger target, but, again, if you give a shit what they think, you’re sunk in the first place anyway. Meanwhile, by NOT putting “it” out there because of insecurities, fear of reprisals, anxiety, whatever, you may miss some amazing [...]

There’s An Old Man Sitting Next To Me, Making Love To His Tonic And Gin
The most effective networking happens in person, not online. (In the pre-smart phone era, face-to-face networking was known by the lamo term “Contact Sport” for a reason.)
Until recently, it had been about a decade since I flew Southwest. I believe it was the carrier that ferried a 9 of my family and friends to a weekend of debauchery for [...]

Friday? I’m in Love…
Dont’ Fear The Reaper: Embrace Negativity. You can’t control it or stop it anyway, and it might just be the best thing that ever happened to you (or your business).
Everyone from Tosh.O to Good Morning America (and most of the more than 21 million people who have viewed it) have weighed in this week on the latest [...]

Sadness Spreads Across The Land; Customer Service To Blame
One bad experience can negate 10 positive ones. In other words: Screw them once, lose them forever. Treating people right is a full time job.
We recently had a bathroom remodeled in our house. Nevermind the 14-year-old kitchen that was cheapo on the day it went in in ’96 and is a hot mess in [...]

I’m Still Thinking…
Shit in, shit out. Content is King. Create good content and you’ll be able to monetize it. Even if you can’t, at least you created something solid.
I’m still thinking about what to put here. I want it to be really good.
Otherwise you won’t come back.
Just like 90% of the other sites out there you visit [...]
Lead. Don’t Follow. (Unless it’s me, your friend…)
Another dude named Mike? Who's this one?
I should probably start with “Father, Husband, and God-fearing Statesman.” I won’t bore you with that stuff. Instead, let me begin by saying I’m an electronic and digital marketing specialist. Man that sounds pretentious. Ok, how about this: I help people sell stuff. Their stuff. Other people’s stuff. Stuff people love. Stuff people need. When people need to sell more people more stuff more of the time, they call me. Or at least they should. That's what you should know about me: I never tell people what to do. Only what to think. I'm opinionated that way.
