Friday, June 04, 2010. What's your company's greatest asset? Daniel Tardy of Dave Ramsey's EntreLeadership asked this question (@EntreLeadership on twitter) yesterday and I did my best to try to get past the obvious answer: People. A team is only as strong as it's members. We all know that to be true. But, if we look deeper, I think we can come up with a guiding principle in business that may make this answer sound almost cliché and not thought out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Art by Benji Peck.

What if I don't come up with an idea that's good enough, or don't deliver on the quality of work that I have promised? It is said tha...

Friday, December 04, 2009. I wouldn't say I look to Chad Ochocinco for inspiration on a regular basis, but seeing a tweet of his today pushed me onward to blog about something that's important to me. It's something that I battle with on a daily basis as not only a small business owner, but as a husband, a father, a friend, a person. Attitude. Let's get a couple of things straight about what having a positive attitude. 8226; being cheerful. 8226; being happy. 8226; always thinking the "glass is half-full".

Wednesday, May 04, 2011. When to say when. Being a small business owner comes with its share of "when to say when" moments. There seems to be a new one every week:. When do I give in a hire someone to help me out? When have I had enough with my ol' faithful piece of crap computer? When is it time to give up on filing my desktop madness and throw it all into one big "Desktop Bankruptcy" folder? But the most important one is when to take a stand, when it comes to your clients. More often than not, this poi...

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. I used to think graphic design was all about the project. Now I know it's all about the solution. As designers, at any stage of your creative life, whether in school, first job, 50th job, running your own small biz, I think we suffer from a distorted sense of entitlement. (Can you hear all of the account managers of the world pounding their desks? Here's what I propose: Fight the idea that tells you I am better than this project.
