Books are not what they use to be.
I’ve struggled to put together a book idea into a coherent logical sequence. Something like: here’s the overall pattern/theme part 1 of pattern part 2 of pattern part 1 connects to part 2 like this but not like that summary of the pattern But I’ve noticed as I am reading (very popular books) that the [...]
4 Hour Work-Week Math – It doesn’t add up!
The biggest problem with The 4 Hour Work Week is the math, you see the entire book is just built on this faulty premise: a 10 cent PPC or Pay Per Click. When you start to add up how many impressions you would get from such a low PPC you would need keywords totally in [...]

I started thinking of everything in a non-linear way, probability, chaos, something perfect for my mind, something that rekindled my more decisive younger self. The cool thing about the book [...]
Book Review – The Power Of Less
I just got this book today and find it a nice read. While very similar material exist on the website or on similar zen/productivity sites I purchased it to read while on vacation. There are a lot of good ideas/concepts for simplifying things. I for one was tired of doing too much and not doing [...]
Book Review – The Four Hour Work Week
I purchased this book after much searching about my business and questioning the effort I was spending doing everything form development, to marketing to managing, to admin, to everything that a small business person has to do.
