Data I do Care About
by
I was thinking again about owning your data and really it comes down to the fact that I see no real value in the data that I’m putting in to Twitter/Facebook. Yes the relationships matter, but not the data. Data I Care About I am an avid cyclist, so avid that I record my sleep…
February 2013 Income Report
by
I’m way behind on my income reports, but here is the one for February. Overall February was awesome. Income was up from January and I’m well on track to hitting my goals for the year. The huge increase in income has allowed my wife to leave her job (which she just didn’t enjoy anymore) and…
Is that Owned Content Worth Anything?
by
I love the thought of owning my content. I mean why make Twitter/Facebook/other’s better by providing them with content so they can sell ads to you? It seems silly but that is the world we live in. To that end I have supported Pressgram. Being able to put all your photos on a property you…
Real Programmers Don’t Talk
by
While this article is talking to writers, read it and change the word Writer to programmer. I have one friend who has been talking about ‘programming’ for years without actually writing much code at all. Now I love him dearly, but if you don’t write code, you’re not a programmer.

What is my Single Purpose?

In episode 185 the Internet Business Mastery podcast talks about your single motivating purpose. I’ve got to say that I’m simply not sure. Yes my business is doing well, but I can’t say that the extra cash is actually increasing my happiness. We have no debt already and we can plan for a few months…

Support Over Board
by
Gone are the days of citing a slight unhappiness with a service and not being inundated with ‘helpful’ people. I recently cited a reason I wasn’t happy with a Rackspace server I deal with for a client. My issues are: No SSH access Always runs slow Now it’s on my client to purchase servers with…
A Business in Debt…
by
The wife and I have been working through the Total Money Makeover (affiliate) and I’m happy to say we’re debt free (which doesn’t count the mortgage). Now we weren’t ever in huge amounts of debt. We had a car payment, but that’s about it. We haven’t carried credit card debt in years. Now read this…
