Reality Blogging?

Last week I posted about an entrepreneurial idea.

What if everything you did could be considered a business expense?

My Accountant friend looked at me, while we were jogging, as if I had lost my mind.

I can’t expense a hair cut, but what if the whole experience was part of some bigger picture? A look at an ordinary life, trying to change the world, one blog post at a time?

People said Napster’s business model would fail, plus, they said, it was illegal.

Anyone subscribe to Napster or Rhapsody music service?

Just because no one has done it and everyone says it’s not legal, doesn’t mean the world (or one lone soul) isn’t ready to embrace it.

Nothing Is Routine Anymore

Saturday mornings. Many people have rituals, routines, they do on Saturday mornings. Or any morning for that matter. And many of our routines depend on where we are in life.

What did you do this past Saturday? Was it a routine or was it out of the ordinary?

I went jogging with my Accountant on a route twice as long as normal, so we had much more time to talk.

With the advent of Reality Shows, Twitter, Skype, Blogs, and Texting, there is a case to be made for developing a new business model. Suppose a creative, restless, passionate entrepreneur paves the way for Reality Blogging.

Amazing & Astonishing News

How many of you had any earthly idea that corporate copy machines had hard drives that store a copy of everything copied on that machine?

How many of you care?

Same here. How many of you know I take every picture that’s used on these five blogs? While it isn’t important to a great number of people, if you follow these blogs regularly, you’ll begin to see, that in either case – the copy machine revelation, or the photo revelation – in both cases, it’s pretty amazing and astonishing.

Some of the hardest working people you know, you have no idea how hard they work. And whomever works the hardest, is almost always the one that succeeds.

Where do put yourself on the “hardest working” scale?

Too Much To Do?

We all have too much to do. It’s part of why people say, “Life’s A Beech, And Then You Die”.

A few of us were talking the other day about how corporate American should brace itself.

Just think of it this way: Has your past year been the very best and most rewarding one of your entire career, or somewhere close to the most challenging and difficult?

Here’s Who Wins

The person who works harder and longer than anyone else wins.

Life may seem unfair, personally or professionally.

But actually, life is fair.

What doesn’t seem fair is how hard we need to work to survive and thrive.

If you want the job, it’s simple, you must be the best person out of all the others.

You must bring with you more of what they want than any of the other candidates.

And sometimes, it’s the relationship piece, not the technical qualification, that is the most important.

Figure it out.
