Advice – 5 Cents
Interesting post by Seth G. over at the magical TypePad blog.
It makes me wonder, as a service provider, how I could translate that consumption into real understanding for my clients and potential clients.
Wait. I think there are definition issues in my brain. What is the difference between a client and a potential client? A signed [...]
Massive Profits Alert!
I just wanted to send out a PSA (Public Service Announcement) to the internet today:
If someone tells you that a product or service will make “Massive Profits” – I mean, if the term “massive profits” is actually used….it’s probably bull$*it.

Why today? Because I was [...]
How not to network.
Wow.
I went to a networking event that was kind of a disaster for me.

Thanks, Kelly!
I’ll come back and edit this post for the “passing it [...]
Super Fun Fact Tech Tip
Could you tell I really couldn’t decide what to call this entry?
I learned something new yesterday. A little bitty fact that may be life altering – don’t get too excited, the last two people I told this two just didn’t see what all my fuss was about…but maybe you will!
Google is a calculator.
Yes, I know [...]
Super Exciting!
I have a backup drive.
Thank goodness for that – because my computer died two nights ago. Something ate up every last bit of memory and then just kept restarting my computer. Over and over.
It was terribly sad.
I backup once a week, but there’s one thing they don’t tell you about a complete reformat.
It takes TWO [...]
Why we second guess ourselves, even when we know we’re not crazy…
Okay, you might be crazy, then this post doesn’t apply to you.
You’ve seen the red flags, you know there are problems, but when it comes time to sit down and write that resignation letter, no words can express how awful you’re going to feel.
Guilty, that you’re leaving someone in a lurch.
Ashamed, because you couldn’t be [...]
