When running any business you tend to get sucked into the facts, what people are saying is working, new trends and ideas or just simple tweaks. Now I [...]
Just a quick rant. I have been reading and hearing a lot about people complaining about how android does not support exchange (yet ;).
All I have to say is that ever since I switched all my email over to gmail my spam rate has drastically gone down. Another great thing is that gmail on the [...]
When I first started reading about the Gphone, I really wasn’t too impressed… I thought it was going to be big and clunky, it was portrayed to behind in software development and bloggers were giving out some shitty reviews.
Well I have had my Gphone for over 2 days now and I think it is amazing. [...]
One of my companies was recently in the Wall Street Journal for the subject of sheriff sales and foreclosures. A Broker, Eric Van Auken, that works with me closely was on site to scoop up this press opportunity…this one was all about being in the right place at the right time. Or as we say [...]

I go back and forth on this topic from time to time; sometimes I feel it’s good and sometimes not. In any negotiation, there is a winner and a looser. Same goes with cooperative completion. If you are all trying to work together, there has been some sort of agreement or verbal understanding that everyone [...]
At this point in my life I have acquired a lot of meetings and been in front of some pretty serious people. I have learned that there is an art to having a good and productive meeting with a potential client/partner and it is a skill similar to being a good actor. I touched on [...]
We all know that contacts help in business, the right ones anyway. Too many times I have been to meetings where everyone thinks we are in the right place talking to the right person when we are really not. The problem is that big companies have so many employees and VP’s and blabla that it [...]
