Not the easiest thing in the world by any means, but I work on it a lot.
It’s almost certainly why I started writing.  It’s definitely why I quickly jump out of a conversation about software development (what I do and what I know) and into what your doing with your business and how your making [...]

I love to think about ways that banks could be better.  It’s especially fun right now, while banks are folding left and right, and taking on government money. Small disclosure here, as I spent the first part of my career learning at a rather large bank, and took away invaluable experience.  I loved it.  BUT, [...]

Market is going either up or down today, how should I play it?
Which direction should I turn for lunch, left, right, or straight?
What color should I paint my walls, blue, red, orange, or magenta?
More than anytime in your life, possibly in history, you are presented with choices in almost everything you do.  Its [...]

Direction. Inspiration. Momentum.
People that know me know that I like to boil things down to their simplest aspects.  It might be because I’m slow or not quite as smart as the rest of us out there, but that’s not the point.  Direction, inspiration, and motivation as I see it, are the three things I need [...]

If this question isn’t the most popular of all time, it has to be close: “How is your job going?”.
Inevitably the kosher answer to this question is, “It’s going good”.
Rarely do you get the outlier event of a person telling you how much they LOVE what they are doing.  And if they do tell you [...]
