The best way to create and build your business is not by targeting and marketing to everyone. As they say, if your market is everyone, you have no market.
Instead, when you’re building a business, you have to keep in mind which specific group of people you’re targeting with your product or service.
The video below is [...]

A reader e-mailed me a couple of months back and told me that the text of blog posts in my Feedburner e-mail feeds was too small to read. Being the ignorant webmaster I am, I checked it out, and the text was, indeed, very small . . . a size 8 font, I think.
So, being [...]

I came across a very interesting article on Yahoo today. Its title is 10 Things Millionaires Won’t Tell You, and it lists some particularly revealing thoughts and ideas about so-called “millionaires.” It discusses everything from the fact that a lot of millionaires shop at Wal-Mart and clip coupons to the idea that an education isn’t the most [...]

My friend and I are in the middle of trying to get up a sports-related, membership-style website. Neither he nor I know one lick about how to design a website, so we looked around for someone to get the site up for us. This brought me to several issues and questions that I thought would [...]

Every now and then, I like to write about investing. I don’t generally like stocks because, without the proper research, you’re taking a flier on a paper asset that you know nothing about. I prefer investing in real, tangible items, like real estate and businesses.
One item I recently read about is investing in pipeline partnerships.

I was looking around on YouTube, and I found a very interesting interview that Tom Brokaw did with Warren Buffett.
It’s about 5 minutes long. If you watch it below, you’ll see that Buffett points out the astounding fact that he pays a lower tax rate than his receptionist and his employees.
Apparently, in 2006 (I think), [...]

I couldn’t help but talk about a major lesson that needs to be emphasized in the wake of Tropical Storm Fay.
That lesson is the importance of attaining passive income.
As you probably know, when a storm like that hits (even if it’s just a tropical storm and not a hurricane), you have to deal with unanticipated [...]

Thankfully, Tropical Storm Fay spared us a bit. We got a whole bunch of rain and a ton of tornado watches and warnings, but the wind was mild. I did have some leaking/flooding issues in my house. But, for the most part, everything is fine.
Sorry for the 3-4 day absence. I couldn’t get that Flimjo [...]
