I was vacationing last week in California with my kids and had the occasion to visit a local “Nugget” Grocery Store in West Sacramento. When we arrived there we noticed several folks picketing outside the store. As we walked in, a rather pushy picketer attempted to make sure I got his literature. Me being the mild-mannered [...]

I went to McDonalds for breakfast this morning which I admit is both nasty and gross, but for some reason I was craving a slider. Oh, that’s right you probably don’t know what a slider is; my dad calls a Sausage and Egg McMuffin a “slider” because it is so greasy it sort of “slides” [...]

So I was in the bank today making a deposit, like I do several times a week and the little Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation sticker caught my eye. We have all seen this sticker hundreds of times; it is a reminder that as long as we have no more than $250,000 in an account at a particular bank, [...]

Not all of you may know this, but I am an Eagle Scout.  It is now time for my son to be a scout, and much of my boyhood experiences have come flooding back as I and the other scouters in the troop lead the next generation of young men into adulthood.  One of the other dads [...]

    (reprinted from my email with permission) This is it — the hot news that Wall Street was waiting for with bated breath. Fed Chief Bernanke’s going to buy another $600 billion in Treasury securities to pump liquidity into the economy. But it’s all one big, fat lie. Here’s why: First, because the whole [...]

The secret to advertising, particularly passive advertising is to get the readers attention.  You have to keep him engaged long enough to get the message into his head, and hopefully to have him make a decision to take action and buy your product. This can be done by a variety of means, including bright colors [...]

I would love to tell you how I have done everything right and how I am the ultimate guru and how much of a rock star I really am, but that would be total crap, and you know it. You want to see some advertising that didn’t work?  This is a sign that I had [...]

No guys, this is NOT my mustang; but I totally admire the guy’s kuhunas that owns it.  I met him at a recent Ron Legrand event in Dallas, and he is one of the players in his area of the country.  Needless to say, everywhere he goes, people KNOW who he is…boy, talk about branding! [...]
