Quick thoughts: I just couldn't leave off for today without giving some love to my new current hero, Tim Ferriss. In case you don't know who he is, Tim wrote one of this year's bestsellers, The 4-Hour Workweek.

The book got me excited about Lifestyle Design, but it was Tim that put … [Read more...]
Testing the Waters…
We are back in the saddle again on the trail of our latest business idea.

It was really nice to pitch the idea to so many people and receive favorable response and … [Read more...]

Instantly, I understood why I'm such a huge fan of his. He blogs as if he's writing one of his books, not talking about how his life is going.
