“Managing Time” and figuring out “how to get it all done” is an issue for people in general, but for business owners especially. Dan Kennedy says that our income is directly tied to how ruthlessly and how unapologetically we protect our time. I’ve not only repeated that quote a million times, but it’s on EVERY calendar

Magic Mike’s Lacking Some Major Business Magic
Now, I refuse to confirm or deny whether or not I’ve seen the movie Magic Mike. However, before I get into this post, you should be reminded of my original post about Channing Tatum — posted on the night when my cousins and I may or may not have gone to see this movie on

Kudos to Entrepreneur Magazine (And a FAIR WARNING too!)
Entrepreneur Magazine is one of my favorites… always has been. But a couple of years ago, they left me scratching my head… after canceling Dan Kennedy’s online column with them.

The Most Important Thing You Can Tell Me Is… (Anyone? Anyone?)

Remembering What’s Important: A Call to Go Backwards
It’s not often (ever!) that I post twice in one day. But, today, just after posting an article about having “no excuses” I saw a news segment about a 16 year old boy at a local high school who’d been killed for being “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Driving home, the teenager
