Twenty years ago this week, I moved from Birmingham, Alabama to North Carolina. If I had never moved, I might never have known that there was life outside of my front and back yards. Pivotal moment. If I could go back and tell myself something, I would tell Evan that it would all work out [...]

Be unique. Find new ways to use existing technologies. Make your business more accessible. People want to ‘know’ your business. Get to know them! Here are some ideas: • Allow customers to text in their orders so their products (if you have products) are ready and waiting upon arrival. • Deliver. Pizza has been delivered [...]

I am imperfect like everyone else. So perhaps, I think that this makes what I have to say more valid. As imperfect people, we yearn for our lives to revolve around something greater than ourselves. Preferably something perfect. Fact: We will center our lives around something or someone. Period. (And it’s hard to orbit around [...]

Listen. If you’re message isn’t stepping on a few toes, perhaps your vision isn’t large enough. Big dreams step on people’s toes. Outside of the box ideas step on toes. Those who hate change, really can’t stand it when someone with a vast vision of the future comes in and starts messing with their methods. [...]

People always say “it’s not what you know, but who you know…” Perhaps sometimes. Remember that passion for a cause can help you create the relationships that become “who you know…” I’d rather be passionate and know fewer people…. than be well known and people have no reason to know me.

Celebrities are famous because we make them famous! No one becomes famous without our culture choosing to give them attention. Whether we collectively choose to give them attention or not can make or break someone’s fame. Our curiosity and urge to live vicariously creates fame in people that have no real purpose in being ‘famous’…. [...]

I suppose there are two ways to look at things: the short term and long term. Would Billy Graham be as respected over the long term as he is if he had loads of controversy in his life? Probably not. In the short term he may have gotten more attention, as a flash in the [...]

One of the reason’s I read Bill Seaver’s MicroExplosion Media is that he seems to always bring substance. He shares that people are looking for valuable content in a blog, in a conversation, in their world. Simplicity and valuable content trump style and flashiness any day. In a wordy, over-hyped, over-marketed world, it is refreshing [...]

If we are to achieve excellence, we must be willing to give up what we have for something better. This is all great in theory, but we have a horrible track record on this. We love to let our reputation, built in the past, get us by for the future. What good thing, that works [...]
