What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

I found a link to a visual representation of a Trillion dollars.
We have heard that figure tossed around alot lately but what does it look like?
You WILL be amazed, I promise.
There is a popup ad that tries to appear when this opens, but I detected nothing malicious about it.
See it at … www.pagetutor.com
After I looked [...]

Mulligan. Let’s try this Again.

I’m not a golfer, but would appreciate the opportunity for a mulligan.  A do-over.  Press Restart.
Several months ago I began what I thought would be a continuing journey toward becoming a full time internet marketer.  I started with a head of steam and when the steam was gone I was done.
Instead of changing my goals [...]

Everyone’s an Expert

As I’ve bounced around the web looking for information on blogging, I have been taken aback by the abundance of “experts.”  For every question, there are 1000 experts ready to respond.  Most of them fall into one of two categories.
Posers who hide behind fake credentials, bogus stats and a pretty blog or website that oftentimes [...]

Time to Forget Everything I Know?

I really thought I was prepared for this online adventure.  I’ve had operations experience, marketing experience, even IT experience.  I’ve been pretty successful in what I’ve done.
On one hand, none of that prepared me for what it will take to launch a successful internet info business.  I hate to say I could just threw money [...]

Post Regularly

Looking at blogs that I admire, they all have frequent posting in common.
Some post daily, but very few will go more than a week without new content.
Many are on a regular schedule where new content is posted on a certain day each week.
Comparing this to other mediums, I can see the importance.
Think about some other [...]

Great Daily Dose of Updated News/Info

We all have several things that we have an ongoing interest in hearing about.  Maybe it’s a Topic (like autism research), a Person (Victor Paul) or a Company (CitiGroup.)  For a daily dose of information, Google has a great tool that sends me a daily update of new web content, blog content and news items [...]

3…website improvements today

I continue to follow the advise of my coach, John Thornhill, to further develop this site and eventually others.  Today he provided step by step instructions to…
1) changing the theme (I think it looks much better)
2) adding Google Adsense
3) signing up for Aweber’s list management which should allow me to put a newsletter signup on [...]

3…baby steps to a functioning site

I’m bumbling through getting my site set up as John Thornhill has suggested.  While simple, there is a bit to it if your mind is going a mile a minute.  Really it’s just…

Choose, buy and redirect a domain
Tune up / turn on a site host (basics, email, forwarding, etc.)
Find coherent thoughts to present.

To stay coherent [...]

Three…Things I’ll NEVER understand

Prices.  I remember it all seeming so CLEAR in college economics class.  Demand moves one way; Price goes the other.  Availability does one thing; Something happens.  The details don’t matter, but it all made SENSE.  20 years of watching prices move erratically for no reason leads me to conclude, I’ll never get it.
Ex-spouses.  I manage [...]

Do I Have Anything Worth Sharing?

Hi there.
Are people who have more questions than answers entitled to blog?
I’m one of those people.  Always been curious about things.  Not random things.  Usually things that directly affect my life and those around me.
Looking at my recent Google Searches, my interests seem to fall into a few categories:
My work (Logistics and Distribution Management)
Family Issues [...]
