What I’ve Been Doing For Six Weeks
The last six weeks have been a blur. I’ve neglected my blog… As well as many other things in my life.
But I’ve also had some really amazing things happen… And one special opportunity that I wanted to share.
It all started back in January… I set a goal to make $1000 / month of [...]
Habitudes For College Students + Jack Bauer
Angela Maiers has been someone that I’ve looked up to for a long time now. She’s one of those people that is so passionate about what she’s doing, you can’t help but get excited when you hear her talk.
Tomorrow (Monday) I’ll be speaking with her to the students at the University of Northern Iowa in [...]
Does Comfort Breed Complacency?
Last week my friend Jaclyn wrote a tweet that said: Is it possible for ambitious people to be comfortable?
That short sentence really got me thinking… Do ambitious people become satisfied? And if they do, how does that affect their work habit? Do things ever slow down?
At this point, I feel like most of what I’m [...]
Everything is Amazing and Nobody’s Happy
I had to share this video. It’s pretty funny. Mostly becuase it’s so true. The economy sucks… but at least we don’t have rotary phones anymore.
Don’t Wait to Live
I watched an episode of House last week.
There was a scenario where Wilson told someone they only had six months left to live. Three months later, he called the patient into his office… Fortunately, his diagnosis was wrong. The patient didn’t actually have a tumor. He was healthy.
Personally, I’d be ecstatic… but this patient wasn’t. [...]
What Twitter Can Learn From My 7th Grade Email Address
The first time I got email was in seventh grade. I was so excited. I spent hours debating what my first email address would be. If I was going to have an email address for the rest of my life, I had to make it good.
After much thought, I came up with the perfect name… [...]
$2500 For A 20-Something With An Idea
Here’s an opportunity that any twenty-something should be checking out… Ramit Sethi is giving away $2500 to a twenty-something with an entrepreneurial idea. I started reading Ramit about a month ago. He’s a genuine guy that is truly interested in helping others reach their dreams.
This scholarship is looking for someone with past entreprenurial experiences, [...]
You Teach People How to Treat You
I came to a realization a few weeks ago: People treat others based on personality.
I should have realized it when I was watching Harold and Kumar’s Trip to White Castle. Remember when Harold’s co-workers dumped all that extra work on him? That’s because Harold was a pushover… until he stood up to them. (Riding [...]
The Struggles of Transitioning to a “Real Job.”
Since college I’ve had three major transitions in my life. Going to college. Studying abroad. Getting a job.
Transitioning to college was great. Social interactions were easy for one reason: we were all in the same situation. It was everyone’s first time being on their own and being in a new world that no one had [...]
Lessons Learned From the Bar Scene
I was reading a post by Kayla Gregory on Tuesday about Why the Bar Scene Sucks… During college, I spent two of my years bartending. Because it was such good money, I probably logged more hours in the bar than I did in the classroom. (Sad, but true.) But believe it or not, you can [...]
