How Do You Know What You're Passionate About?...
Not too long ago I introduced Gary Vaynerchuk to my Brother-In-Law. After watching and reading up on Gary he was fired up. We had a few emails go back and forth and then he hit me with a question that has been stuck in my head. He asked…”How Do I Know What I’m Passionate About?” I honestly didn’t know what to say.

I was looking for a high end (4 or 5 star) hotel. I usually would...

What's your best Domain Story? Here's Mine.
I was thinking about all the domains I’ve bought and sold over the years. There is one domain that really sticks out. It wasn’t the best domain I ever bought.

Business Idea for Restaurant Owners
Here is a little business idea I had today for restaurant owners.
NOTE: If anyone is already doing this let me know. I’d love to use their service.

Don’t try to bring back the past. Concentrate on Embracing the Future ;)
Just reserved my iPad on April 3rd. Everybody else do the same?

Came across a very cool website today http://ping.fm/S6ExY Check it out. I get motivated reading some great biz ideas.
Nothing beats being a Dad. I bought Grant a Dora book today and he is the happiest kid alive right now ;)
Love this quote from Mark Cuban “Sweat equity goes a whole lot further than money”
