readuponit, Max’s New Blog

hartshorne, 46, publishes new blog following the trend set by the 04 elections. promise to share interesting things i read and find out and extend to these pages the essence of my life.

today had an interesting talk with a friend, neighbor and sales guy and possible candidate for sales position at gonomad.com, my website. he offered to just work and sell and if we made money he would be happy asking for some. very smart, just what a business owner wants to hear.

i got many of my earliest jobs like that, just going to the employer and coming up with an idea…hey hire me, here’s why. When i was 21 I designed a whole newspaper before i was hired to do so. i figured i could send them a bill if they didn’t end up hiring me. moved up to portland, me that year 1981.

thinking a lot about our upcoming trade show in NYC. Javits center, big time. adventure expo. talked today with ksj, he is the senior travel ed and top writer for gonomad. he will be there again this year.
