Friday, January 4, 2008
We are now into the third January of my business, which will mark the third year in a row that I did not sit down to establish business goals. I will tell you exactly why: I am a big giant chicken. (Cluck! Cluck!) In my perfectionist brain, I just tell myself that if I don’t [...]

Thursday, December 6, 2007
It seems like everyone I’ve talked to lately is in the middle of some kind of web development project delay. (We even had an entire thread about it in the StartupNation Community.)

As we near the end of 2007, it’s time to start making those goals for yourself and your business for 2008.

I’m writing this post on my "break". You see, my daughter has been sick for a couple of days—and anyone with a 2-year-old can tell you that a toddler barfing all night is enough to knock a few years off your life span. Instead of actually resting, I thought I’d take a moment on my [...]

Wednesday, November 28, 2007
Disclaimer: I’m not picking on the people who really do live like that. Really, I’m not—if it works for you, then great.
