New Years Resolutions 2017
I know that New Years Resolutions are ridiculed and lampooned by many, but I find them to be an indispensable goal-setting tool. The annual act of lifting my gaze into higher possibility keeps my attention focused upward, on what I could become, instead of behind me, on my mistakes. Yesterday before my annual review, I listened to Zig Ziglar's classic audio recording Goals on my walk, prepping for tomorrow's resolutions.

Annual Review 2016
2016 was a year of building momentum. I spent a lot of this year pivoting, and shedding things that didn't contribute to my two major life goals: Raising my kids Building my fortune Having these two goals as the compass points to orient my life's decisions has been clarifying, and helped me recognize what Warren Buffet calls the 'Avoid-At-All-Cost' list. Warren Buffett's Avoid-At-All-Cost list James Clear tells the story so well, about how Warren Buffett's pilot learned the 2-list method, that I won't repeat [...]

A sales funnel is a series of steps that communicate in the language of the different stages your customer goes [...]
Personal Development Website for Dads
I must confess, I made this website for dads because I wanted to show off all the cool tricks I can do as a blogger. For years, I have been blogging on other people's websites, and designing fantastic interactive experiences for clients. Until I made BeTheBetterDad.com, I didn't have a pretty palace to call my own on the Internet. So I made one. This project came out of a deep investigation during Pioneer Nation into what I could talk about that would [...]
