What I learned from TV
I was reading the listings for the new season and several thoughts came to mind. How many shows are remakes? There is an old adage in fashion, that says if you wore it the 1st time around don’t wear it the 2nd time it appears; so, too, TV shows. Who is the...
What does quality mean?
I have to buy a washing machine; after almost 30 years, my Maytag died. In doing my shopping research I have learned a lot. Maytag was bought by Whirlpool and they no longer put the emphasis on the inner workings but on the bells and whistles that they think...
What do they want?
Devon is going to be 12 this Friday and he is asked what he wants to do and what he wants for his birthday. Everyone gets frustrated when he says he doesn’t know or reverts back to something he already has. This is no different than your clients; they don’t know what...
Well????
The other day I was in Barnes and Noble waiting and started reading “Rework” by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson; it’s a fast read. And although I still have to finish it the 1st half reminded me of several points. There is nothing really new out there There...

Vegging Time
What a great weekend this has been for just mindless activities and some not so mindless. We’ve often heard people say they work hard and play hard. For me, it’s also veg hard. I love sitting on the deck and reading; sometimes even napping. This weekend I watched...
To Niche or Not to Niche
First of all, what does it mean to niche? Does it mean you have a unique selling proposition (USP), yes? Does it mean you can only have one market, no? Too often people think that if they find a niche market that they service they can’t do anything else. The key is...
Time, where is it?
Yes it’s Thursday and my blog usually goes out on Mondays and yes I started one, but. You guessed it other things got in the way and before I knew it it’s 4 days later. So here I am writing a new blog; I’ll save the started one for next week. I am writing about...
The power of human persistence
I just got back from DC. I was fortunate not to have been in the devastation of NY and NJ. Having grown up on the east coast I had forgotten the power and fury of a hurricane and combine it with a full moon for high tides and a lower jet stream for cold and you have...
