Guys, people are scared. They’re scared about what’s going to happen to our country when the next president is elected. Regardless of who you’re siding with, most people feel a bit nervous about both candidates. At very least they feel terrified of one of the candidates. So what’s different this time? Why are they so…
I’ve noticed there are four different seasons of my work life. Just like spring, summer, fall, and winter, my work life tends to have its own cycles with different weather in each. I believe understanding that work comes in cycles has its own benefit. But I also believe there are unique opportunities presented in each season. We…
There are three different people who can set your agenda. And it matters who you choose, because it will result in varying degrees of freedom. Let me tell you the first two… We’ll get to the third at the end. Other people can set your agenda, or you can set your agenda. By agenda, I’m…
I write this on the day after the presidential debate. I want to live by these verses, and I pray other believers would too. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the…
I’m not going to lie. Self-employment is stressful at times. Each time I make my long walk to the mailbox, I pray there’s a check in there waiting for me. Sometimes that check needs to be there. And I’m convinced sometimes it’s only by the grace of God that it is there. That’s the life…

Graphics designers and other such professionals are over-priced. I agree. But before I get to that topic, let me tell you a short story. It’ll all come around, I promise. One of my favorite coffee shops here in San Antonio is near the downtown area. Each time I drive there, I pass an old building…
On Wednesday, I was completely unmotivated. I didn’t want to do any work. I just wanted to sit in front of the TV and veg all day. Instead, I cranked up some music, grabbed some coffee, and gave myself a hype pep talk. It actually worked. I thought I’d share the pep talk with you.…
Had a great chat with a businessman today. I was helping talk through some of the things I do when I build my platform and how that might apply to his business. I realized, I was saying some pretty crazy things that were hard to digest. They went against common business principles. The world has…
If you didn’t see, there was a rather offensive 9/11 mattress sale advertisement from a San Antonio company that circled around YouTube last week. Yeah, it was pretty bad. When I saw it, I had a similar “yeesh” reaction most people got when watching it. But then I got curious. I knew how the Internet liked…
