Win a Free Beckham Jersey

By Nathaniel :: July 20th, 2007 :: Play :: Comments (1)

So, I’m a bit of a soccer fan.  Never played the game that much (except for that broken foot), but I enjoy watching Planet Earth’s Most Popular Sport.  I think it’s probably the most popular because it doesn’t take much more than a round ball and some flat land to play it, but hey, it’s […]

You Gotta Get in the Mood . . .

By Nathaniel :: July 11th, 2007 :: State of Mind :: Comments (0)

You have to be “in the mood” to do just about anything effectively. I know I can’t drop down on the keypad and think of a good link bait idea, or send an inspirational email to a biz partner for that matter, unless I’m really feeling it. If you ain’t feeling it, you’re […]

Last week’s quote came from Claire Wolfe, the author of Insanity, the Job Culture, and Freedom. On this Friday, may you find luck . . .

Why do CEO’s Quit and Become Surfers?

By Nathaniel :: June 27th, 2007 :: Living Exceptionally :: Comments (1)

On a trip to Las Vegas this weekend I got to work in a lot of reading, and I came across multiple articles about formerly accomplished businessmen now living the simple life. I’m sure you’ve heard simliar tales - one guy, who was 49, was a former CEO of some large software firm for […]

There’s a lot of advice on the internet that is geared toward teaching people the best ways to invest their money. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds and 401k’s all are things we’ve become familiar with either through personal experience or simply by reading the newspaper.
While even the un-savviest of humans know that investing money in […]

Quote Saturday: Take This J-O-B and Shove It

By Nathaniel :: June 23rd, 2007 :: Quote Friday :: Comments (0)

“Think about it. Job holders by definition aren’t capitalists. Job holders, no matter how well paid they might be, function merely as the servants of capitalists, just as medieval serfs functioned as the servants of lords. They are beholdin’. They function in a climate of diminished responsibility, diminished risk, and diminished reward. A climate of […]

Be Right One Time

By Nathaniel :: June 19th, 2007 :: Entrepreneurship :: Comments (1)

I like reading Aaron Wall’s SEOBook. I’ve seen him speak at conferences, even bought a domain or two from him, but it’s not like we’re boys. I just like the way he writes and I enjoy the undeniable quality of his posts.

Find Opportunity

By Nathaniel :: June 18th, 2007 :: Living Exceptionally :: Comments (0)
