For those of you who don’t know, Gary is a very successful entrepreneur who has really pushed the limits of social media [...]

I’m having a crisis with my blog. I clearly need a redesign and some overall polish, but I’m unsure of what I really want to do with it beyond that. I’d like to rearrange some things so that it’d be a minor source of income, but I guess I’m not sure what I really want [...]

Note: Despite the date, this is not an April Fool’s joke.
Almost exactly three months ago, I stopped blogging, pretty much stopped using Twitter, stopped doing most of my daily habits, stopped worrying about my goals, and started working 14-16 hours per day on MightyBrand, a new startup that I’ve been toiling away at for awhile. [...]

I started on a new theme for my blog months ago, but with client work and entrepreneurial pursuits and my trip to Asia, things just kept getting pushed back. I finally spent some time to finish things up to the point that I’m ready to put it online, though everything isn’t completely done yet. I [...]

Three friends and I just launched a new blog called MightyBrand.com where we’re going to share tips, tools, and techniques that we’re learning and using to build strong brands online, as individuals, for clients, and for projects of our own.
We’ve just thrown up a slightly modified template and there’s not much in the way of [...]

I saw a post on Craigslist today that I’ve seen a few times for the last week or so on my feeds from around the country. Here’s the link:

Anyway, there are numerous red flags in the post, such as:
looking for a “webmaster” (it’s 2008, not 1998)

About a year ago, I started blogging in earnest about personal finance and investment, as well as the occasional post on personal development. In April 2007, I started a series about investing for young adults, which took me a bit longer to complete than originally planned (6 months vs. 1 month). During the process of [...]
