Success is never measured by stats

November 21, 2009

Tweet Success shouldn’t be measured by statistics. No one cares how many events you put on. No one cares how many networking meetings you attend every week. No one cares how many people are in your address book. Relationships + sales wins = success. No matter what you say, where you go or who you [...]

How Twilight is just like real life

November 19, 2009

Tweet Ha! Twilight is nothing like real life. First, vampires like to have sex. Lots. Blade, the most realistic vampire movie ever, shows this right away. Vampires getting blowjobs, having orgies, hell Stephen Dorff’s character (coolest vampire hair ever) screwed Blade’s mom! Also, Twilight vampire boy (Edward?) refuses to screw the hot chick (Bella?). Seriously? [...]

What’s wrong with downtown Phoenix

November 18, 2009

Tweet Downtown Phoenix isn’t about businesses, buildings or parks. It’s about people. Those that live, work and/or play here make this place what it is. It’s not that great. Plenty of potential, lots of usable space and we really haven’t done much. Copper Square is a failed experiment. Have you EVER seen that place busy? [...]

Does criticism require solutions?

November 17, 2009

Tweet No one likes non-constructive criticism. Pointing out flaws without providing solutions can be most infuriating to whoever is responsible for fixing the problem. Get over it. As a creator of any type, criticism should be your best friend. Even better if it’s free, unfiltered criticism that points out flaws that you never dreamed of. [...]

Why is language so controversial?

November 16, 2009

Tweet Nigga. Try saying it out loud. Once. Feels crappy. So why is it used so damn often? In nearly all cases, nigga can be replaced by dude and it loses none of the meaning. But why isn’t it? And why is it used almost exclusively by black people*? Language is changing, it’s evolving. SMS and [...]

You don’t count if you don’t show up

November 14, 2009

Tweet Being successful takes hard work, a knack for giving up at the right time and the knowledge you’re acting wisely. But if you don’t show up, you can’t do any of those things. If you value your community, your church or your job, you’d best show up when the opportunity presents itself to change [...]

What Twitter lists say about you

November 13, 2009

Tweet No matter how we try to project ourselves, it’s what other people perceive that’s important. Thanks to Chuck Reynolds (sorry for completely hijacking your comments), I made a Wordle list showing how others see me. Notice how douchebag is nowhere prominent. Whew.

Hey @scottmonty, yours is better!

November 13, 2009

Tweet My sister at a car show in WA state, trying out the new Ford 150 Raptor and GMC Yukon. Raptor? Really? Doesn’t seem like a truck name, but I love the red. The black…accent on the side could go. See and download the full gallery on posterous Posted via email from Tyler says…
