I’ve was privedged to have spent the last week with some of the most successful people to have graduated from Spring Arbor University. 
I traveled to Charleston, South Carolina for an extended weekend of vision casting for the University in co-operation with a handful of the schools most generous and supportive benefactors.  I engaged in very meaningful conversation with a [...]

I’m getting a call or e-mail almost every day about a friend or family member who is losing a job, can’t find a job, took a pay cut, is worried about her job, etc. 
Another amazingly funny thing that I’m hearing is…”We elected Barack…why don’t I have a job yet?” 
Well here is the deal, things are likely [...]

I must admit, I’ve been keeping a secret from you all!!!  But recently a new friend of mine, Mike, from 30LINES helped me realize that the best thing I can do a Personal Finance & Technology blogger is to not hold back anything and let my readers know any new trick that I find.  That being [...]

I’m privileged in my career to meet some highly successful people.  The common theme of these seemingly ordinary people is their unyielding commitment to their [...]

I’m STILL investigating a business opportunity called Talk Fusion.
Basically the deal is that it is very hard to send a video over e-mail that the recipient can actually play on his computer without having to download formatting software. It appears that Talk Fusion has some kind of patented system that allows you to send video [...]

 
I am a major advocate of the SMART use of credit cards.
I have been known to often tap credit cards for major purchases when they are offering attractive rates or balance transfers offers. My favorite aspect of using a credit card is the reward program. I would never use a card that does not offer a [...]

I was fortunate enough to have lunch last week with a friend and mentor who had just returned from a trip oversees. He shared with me some powerful insights into leading, surviving, and thriving through difficult times.
Winston Churchill led Great Britain through what could easily be viewed as their most difficult hour in recorded history. [...]

Friends,
Wow, what a crazy reversal of fortunes for the US and World economies.  Yesterday’s plunge in the markets was exactly one year from the High the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit of just over 14,000.
