I had the opportunity to golf with a buddy and his dad. That dewd was 90 years old and still golfing. How cool is it to have a friend invite you to golf with a legend! He may not have been a sports star, politician, or entertainer… but he was a hero to one person…
One of the new places I network at is Juicy O’s… they start out by serving warm mini donuts. You think it would ruin your appetite, but it actually makes you more hungry. You may not even eat one, but the smell makes you hungrier than before you walked in. What can you do to…
More often than not we underestimate how what we do affects others. At no time is this more prevalent thans when we present about our business. What you think of as mundane (because you do it and see it every day) can be enlightening, amazing, or impressing to others. Just because you say “So What?”,…
You never know when a new friend will become a lifelong friend. I met Jim through another friend who was a friend of mine in high school. Jim has been a client, compadre and confidant for almost 25 years. I was at his wedding to his wife Barb and we have even performed on stage…
Other than puppies… few things are baby cute. When people see a baby they are attracted to it like a moth to a flame! Especially when they are happy and smiling. If not people do goofy things to try to get that smile. Is you product or service baby cute? What can you do or…
I often take pictures of Bacon… but seriously, it not mine. It’s O.P.B. (Other People’s Bacon). The point is, try to promote others rather than promote yourself. Find a way to promote OPB or Other People’s Business. That way, they may return the favor and promote you in return (but don’t expect it!).
Last night(Sunday), our TV’s started glitching. I call our provider and was given a scripted answer. I posted angst on social media. This morning (12 hours later), same problem and same response. They were hoping that time would heal all wounds, but my posts on social media were getting an immediate response from my peeps…
Does your message motivate people to take time out of their day to search it out and read it? When Seth Godin posts, I don’t always look for it, but when I see it I take time to read it. Are your messages “Must See TV” or just more noise and why? What makes you…
Can you hear it? Can You See It? It’s what I like to call the fill in the blank post? I see these all the time… because people don’t have the time to post for themselves (they hire temps to do it). “I don’t have time for all this social media stuff!”. We are all…
Sometimes we get to know people better when you spend more time with them. Jack booked my band once for a gig in Chicago and that’s the only transaction that I can remember we ever had! I have helped him get gigs and he has introduced me to tons of people and business! It’s not…
