    Looking to Run and Organize Your Own Mastermind Group? Consider this approach

    Entrepreneurship can be a challenge. And no challenge is fun going alone. If you are running a successful business, chances are you aren’t alone, you have employees.

    What the Heck are these Masterminds people are talking about?

    I read a statistic recently that 71% of people quit their New Years Resolutions after the second week. If you are like me, and just recently set some goals (or new years resolutions), then it’s time to start getting things into high gear. I had the opportunity to attend WooConf back in October.

    Politics 101: Eating Your Own Dog Food

    In this political season there is much on both sides of the aisle to be ashamed of. I’m not going to talk about them here though. Instead, I want to talk about ‘eating your own dog food.’ For us in the computer software business, this is a term we all know so well. We all…

    I was asked by a co-worker last week for a list of resources of places I go to look for WordPress information. I figured this would make a great blog post, so I’ve started to collect them here. This post is going to be updated over time as I come across more resources, etc.
