Motivating employees is like building fireworks; if you do it right, everyone will be happy, properly entertained, and you will make a profit; if you do it wrong, it can very easily kill you. continue reading…

So I have to start by confessing the truth about my feelings for Twitter. I hate(d) Twitter for the longest time. I remember distinctly a conversation between my roommate and I about the type of person that actively participated on Twitter continue reading…
Song Update: I had to swoop in and make a swap today. I decided that Dolly’s 9 to 5 didn’t really motivate me like I wanted this list to. That said, time for Dolly to bounce and time for Rick Ross to roll in.
I promise this is not going to be a trend, but I’m adding another list.

Yes, we can all probably take a sales lesson or two about persistence and about what not to do in a sales meeting, but I was looking for drama, I want scenes that are patterned on sales events that I can relate with. So, I decided to take the step the just do it myself. If you don’t like the list, you can comment, but keep in mind, the list is not for you…….. continue reading…
Today while sitting and pondering my odd mood, I noticed an interesting coincidence in the marketplace. I felt really unmotivated to make any market decision that even hinted at being risky and the market seemed to follow. I know this is my super-nerdom coming out, but my thoughts spun into an idea; Are there documented “global” mood shifts? If so, could I predict market movement by them? continue reading…
