  • A Season of Busyness

    I am most busy during the January – May part of the year. A fun ongoing client project means that I’m traveling across Texas to cover weekend events. Is it tiring? Yep. Do I love what I do? Most definitely. Do I believe in the mission? You betcha! What that means is that there isn’t much…

  • Calling Cards as the New Business Cards

    I believe there is a business card identity problem. In the modern day most folks do more than one thing. In years past you had a business card from the company you worked for and that was all you needed. Fast forward to today and folks may work for a company, have their own business…

  • The Social Media Snake-Oil Salesman

    As Social Media joins the mainstream there is a disturbing new trend emerging. Someone who three months ago never even heard of Social Media is now calling themselves an expert.
