Off to the mines! Almost booked a week at a Coppola Resort in Belize! I'd love to rough it but Connie has roughed it enough on my behalf! ;)

3 calls from parents of kids with real issues! What are our schools doing that I should be so busy?! Our kids aren't failing! Education is!!

Appt in 1hr & at 7! Still sitting here in sweats & a t-shirt! 2 phone consults, advertising setup, & more! All with TuffGuy & in jammies!

Giving Google Boost & Tags a run! Yes, Boost may be a lazy man's AdWords in a sense. But it may be just the thing for busy business owners!

No connection in business? No customer/client loyalty! Someone does it faster, cheaper, better? The customer is gone! No reason to stay!

Prediction: Google & Facebook will be unseated! Won't happen tomorrow...but it'll happen! No direct customer service always kills business!

An article I read noted what many of us have always known. Invest in experiences! Vacations, dates, etc "Things" break & end up as "things!"

I love to travel but I hate the herd ethic so much a part of cruises! I love the look of the Belizean Coppola resorts...though pricey! Maybe

@NordicTracklive I don't check DMs. I only send them as an initial welcome with a video. I didn't receive anything from you. No worries!

I'm always floored when I'm told that a teacher has said, "Don't expect too much from him [or her], he [or she] has ADHD [or ADD]!" Unreal!

So much talk about sales strategy! All it takes is sitting down face-to-face, looking the *individual* in the eye, LISTENING, and CARING!

Added another client this evening! SUPER people! Had an appt with another company & the rep never showed! Mediocrity ensures our success!

1 of my students earned a 610 on the SAT's critical reading section! When I tested the student the 1st time? They received a 282! So Proud!!

Falling in love with teaching again. My students & my company are flourishing! I"m teaching students to be confident, creative, & effective!

Happy Groundhog Day! "Groundhog Day!" Bill Murray's best! "BING!" Ned Ryerson: http://bit.ly/gHa9KM Start the day right!

Well, started at 4:30am & tomorrow is going to be huge! 3 face-to-face appts, 2 teleconferences, and more snow! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I get Twitter @Mentions, used to be @Replies, from people who aren't following me but they send me links (read: spam). Blocked AT ONCE!

I can hear my neighbor thru my office window. He's like the guy who's outside every day manicuring his lawn! Now it's snow in the driveway!

A Cleveland business & an out-of-state financial svcs company both contacted me today, fed up with Internet svcs! Mediocrity is the rule!

Ice hits the windows. An amazing day! Just finished with my favorite student (they all are!). Creating a project to enhance his college app!

Had 3 incredible sessions with clients today & a phone call for online marketing help from a Craigslist ad! Lot's of spam but it pays off!

I don't know about the schools but my doctor's appt for tomorrow was canceled due to weather! Go figure!

If you want to see how a talk should be given & a video made? How a speaker uses humor to deal with a serious topic? http://bit.ly/h0jvNQ

Sir Ken Robinson is brilliant! If you've raised children, you'll love this video! Wonderful! http://bit.ly/h0jvNQ

21 domains renew this month! Just think of that annual AdSense income! $0.03 here, $0.07 there! Good thing I bought that guru's info course!

Off today? Wouldn't it be incredible if 1 or 2 kids in every town took the time to shovel 1 or 2 driveways & contribute 1/2 to a food bank?

10s of 1000s of students are off today! You'd think 1 or 2 would go door-to-door with a shovel & try to make money! Am I old fashioned? Hmm?

I feel like Sisyphus this morning...no end to the snow & the arduous task of clearing it! There is always more!
