The rough and tumble of internet business marketing 2.0 is that it’s fluid….it varies…and in most cases, you have to live on dimes and nickels instead of $10s and $20s. Today, for example, I have to decide on a few new options for our affiliate links, review proposals for creating […]
I’m happy to be back to the business I love. I haven’t felt this happy to be home in a long time. I think travel makes you forget how comforting it is to be sleeping in a familiar bed, next to a familiar cat, or a familiar partner. Hotel rooms, […]
I joined a group of friends and relatives and spent 90 minutes this afternoon learning many things about my aunt Sarah Hartshorne, who passed away last month. I was moved, I cried, I laughed, and like everyone in the room, I was deeply affected by the thoughts shared and the […]
We’re sitting in an airport cafe in Santiago with a long layover in front of us. Sony went to the bathroom and ran into Catalina, a journalist from Bogota Colombia who spoke not a word of English. Sony is the same about Spanish, and so it was a bit awkward. […]
Waking up underneath a thick comforter was heaven….at last a long and luxurious night’s sleep, one of the things that you take for granted but crave after a succession of tough nights. I’m feeling great up here on the 15th floor of the Terrado Hotel, anticipating a morning of tandem […]
The pantomimed characiture of a man holding his eyes open proved to be an omen. Our bus driver was showing me what would happen tonight as I lay in a bunk bed with two snoring roommates after chewing on three coca leaves earlier in the evening. It was a sleepless, […]
This plane ride ranked up there with my all time amazing flights. Being able to swoop down and see all of this beautiful countryside from the air in this small 22 seater with huge windows was amazing.
I’m exhausted from a day of chatting, listening, learning, agreeing, and schmoozing…all with a head cold caught from days in a van where people were sneezing. I felt so bad that I had shaken hands with people that later I switched to a Michelle-Barack fist bump, or an elbow touch, […]
We were dropped off at our luxury villa tonight, and taken for a quick tour of the sumptous property at the 8000-acre Cliffs Preserve. We saw the outdoor wood-fired hot tub, were amazed by the luxurious huge bedrooms, and dazzled by the ocean views, which in the morning would lie […]
We spent most of today aboard a 35′ yacht, cruising among the towering wooded cliffs of th Comau fjord. Nobody goes in these mountains that are so inaccessible due to the high cliffs. We came upon a massive colony of sea lions who bellowed and barked, snapping at each other […]
I am proud to say that we’ve got more than 2500 followers on Twitter. I learn so much from this platform, this misunderstood ‘microblogging’ forum. So many cool links, so many stories to share. Check out this graphic, it shows that 24% of newspapers have not even begun to use […]
In yesterday’s Daily Hampshire Gazette business page, a feature caught my eye. It was about a man named Delcie Bean who has grown up quickly, and told his Horatio Alger tale of success starting out at a very early age. Bean began his business career by founding a computer repair […]
