3. September 2010
Whenever I meet new people they inevitably ask me what I do. I usually just say I’m an entrepreneur and try and be as vague as possible because I really don’t want to get into the details because they wouldn’t understand. It’s not even that the concepts are that hard to understand I feel it’s [...]

When I first started I sold shirts at community colleges. It only cost $25-50 for the day but I never made very many sales. Another vendor at one of the colleges told me to keep on doing the colleges with small fees. She said even if you don’t make a lot of money you can’t [...]

I was talking with my sister the other day and she was unhappy that she is still making 50k at her architecture job which is what she made 3 years prior. 50k to me is a lot of money, and it’s hard to understand where she is coming from that 50k a year isn’t enough. [...]

I think everyone has done it. Got some tool where they can send out hundreds of friend invites. It just isn’t worth the time you put into it. Most of the people that will accept your invite will be the kind of people that accept everyones invite and don’t even care about what your doing. [...]
