Isn't it great to be alive!!! We all have limitless ideas and the ability to accomplish practically anything we want! Well....why don't we? Why is it that there are more "idea people" than "action people?" I'm here to tell you that ideas are a dime a dozen (I know, you've heard that before....but stick with me here) and action ISN'T enough, but it (ACTION) is certainly the first step to moving toward your goals and accomplishing your dreams. The purpose of this post is to explore what separates winners and losers, well intentioned idea people from millionaires, and success ...

I stumbled upon the below video earlier tonight - it's from an episode of the internet TV reality show called "The Next Internet Millionaire" which I was a featured guest on way back in 2007. The host of the show is successful internet marketer and friend Joel Comm. This video is 45 minutes long and it starts with a recap of the previous episode....I don't come on until around minute 21.30 or so.... Granted this is an oldie, but it was a great time spending a few days in Colorado and finds itself on my top ...

I spent the last three days in New York City at TechCrunch Disrupt with two KBJ Capital portfolio companies: Yumm.com and APPEK Mobile Apps. Both Yumm and APPEK absolutely crushed TechCrunch Disrupt! APPEK Mobile Apps From the time Adam Ceresko and Andrew Herman (Cofounders of APPEK) hit the Start-up Alley floor on Monday until the place closed down around 6pm the booth was packed - even Michael Arrington (founder of TechCrunch) stopped by with questions for the guys, as did representatives from Sequoia Capital, Google, and Bing. Appek Mobile ...

The picture above is of Obinna Ekezie, Former NBA Player and current CEO of Nigerian Travel Company Wakanow.com Last year I spoke at an investor conference in New York City which included 400 of the world's most successful internet entrepreneurs - while I had the opportunity to meet some incredibly smart and talented people one guy stood out in the crowd more than anyone else....Obinna Ekezie, and it wasn't only because he is nearly 7 ft tall. :) Not surprisingly, Obinna Ekezie is a former college and professional basketball player...first at the University of Maryland ...

I think about what's possible both personally and professionally all the time and for what's it's worth I sincerely believe there are few limits to experiencing and accomplishing just about anything you want. For "most people" there are perceived limitations in what is and isn't possible. However, deep down in your belly I know you don't want to lead a life like "most people." Right? As I say in the title of this post I believe that the mother of all personal and professional success are expectations, including the expectations you have for yourself, AS WELL AS the expectations ...

I'm fairly confident that you remember the lyric that Steven Tyler from Aerosmith popularized - "Life's a Journey, not a destination...." However, did you know that the Grateful Dead never played the same song twice? This post is about learning how to enjoy the process and not losing focus about what life is all about. Let me share a quick story with you about one of my great mentors and a lesson that I was taught that will forever stick with me....a piece of wisdom that I intend to share with my kids and a story I pass on at every ...

It is a fact, most people don't take action because of fear. Fear of failure. Fear of hard work. Fear of discouragement. Fear of commitment. Fear of ability. Fear, fear, fear. The problem with allowing fear to rule your decision making is that you won't take chances and without taking chances you'll likely live a mediocre life....and who wants that!? I will be the first to tell you...and agree with you....that fighting your inner demons - that voice in your head that tells you that you aren't worthy...or that you can't do something (i.e. lose weight, ask a girl / guy out, address conflict, ...

One of the great things about the Search Engine Strategies - San Francisco conference I attended a few weeks ago was the fact that my book publisher (Wiley) has one of its major corporate offices in Downtown, SF. I spent quite a bit of time with my marketing team at Wiley, including Sandy Smith and Allison Clarke on various promotional activities, including a book signing in SF (which I blogged about already) and a happy hour sponsored by Wiley (where I got to mingle with other Wiley authors and long-time friends like landing page guru Tim Ash ...
