How to Work from Home and Stay Productive
Here’s an interesting report which Lancaster University’s Work Foundation says next year more than 50 percent of businesses in the UK will adopt some form of remote working, allowing its workers to choose the place, and the time, of work. By 2020, that number will jump to 70 percent, and the States won’t be far
Just Start
That’s all you gotta do. You just start… That’s my life philosophy right now and I can pinpoint 2 influences that long ago inspired this way of thinking… 1. Benny Lewis. Here’s Benny’s advice on how to learn a language… in a nutshell: “Start speaking it.” Don’t know how? Who cares? Start anyway. Start speaking
On Getting Lucky
Today I’d like to share a little ‘ol PDF that has really inspired some major changes in my life. About 3 weeks ago I woke up in my apartment on Miami Beach and realized I was unhappy. If you had asked me the day before I’m sure I could have launched into a really compelling
Simple, Hotel Tonight, & Uber: 3 Services I Love Using (& You Will Too)

On Not Cashing Out
I just read Ryan Carson’s Selling Your Company Doesn’t Make You Happy and it reminded me of Phil Libin’s philosophy on running a startup. When I first read Phil’s thoughts on running a 100 year company it was a refreshing and unexpected change of pace from the usual “build a company and cash out” modi
Kickstarter & the Future of Crowdfunding
Kickstarter has been on fire recently. They’re obviously doing a lot of things right. And there are still enough pieces of the puzzle that don’t quite fit perfectly into the “new economy”.
