I’ve learned a lot about writing over the past few years (enough to know I still have a long way to go). Paying special attention to writer’s block has turned up a wonderful piece of advice. Something scary enough to stop professional writers dead in their tracks deserves some attention. Something they might be able […]
What’s Your Approach to Self Help?
I’ve gone through my fair share of self-development advice books. There is a ton of great stuff out there and I’ll recommend them as I come across them. But, with a large library of resources to fall back on or into, I really began to notice some differences. Some self-improvement methods just seem to strike […]
Exposing the Learning Curve is for Free (01/24 to 01/26)
I recently enrolled Exposing the Learning Curve into Amazon’s Kindle Select program. Not sure how awesome the Select program is, but it did come with a nice bonus. The ability to give my book away for free! Well, for a total of 5 days in 3 months, anyway. I’m throwing my last 3 Promotion days […]

Looking Back, Missed Opportunities Will Be Your Biggest Regrets

You are Responsible for Getting Your Life Under Control
Life Gives You the License, You Have to Earn the Right You just turned sixteen. Dad’s car is shinier than it’s ever been. You’re ready to rip into the pavement for one heck of an adventure. You’ve been able to drive for a while now – Dad’s given you lessons since you were nine. You […]
Self-Improvement Math: Will + Work = Change
Photo by: jam343 You’ve probably read a self-help or personal development book before. Just a guess. I’ll also go out on a limb and guess that some of them try to tell you something like this. “If you believe it – it will be so!” I agree – kind of. What they don’t tell you […]
Were Your Younger Years A Complete Waste?
Photo by: woodleywonderworks Let me ask you something frank. Was the awkwardness and uncertainty of puberty the most favorite time of your life? Did you enjoy the pimples, the raging hormones, and the scary “not understanding my situation” parenting? Do you think your life would have been any different if you skipped it all? Perpetually […]
