Understanding the difference between the complementary and insulting habits in your diet and lifestyle makes all the difference in your self-healing journey. If you fail to identify your most insulting habits (and then actively minimize or avoid them completely) you may not experience the success you desire and deserve.

Since 2003 I founded and operated a growing B2B Media company – and 10 years before that , a high-tech B2B marketing firm. Over the subsequent 27 years, I watched the business data life-cycle evolve; first with postal, then email, and now digital. History repeats itself. If you want to improve your digital marketing campaigns today, you need look no further for the answer than yesterday:

I’m a not quite 60, healthy male, with an average number of “family tree” historical diseases that I know of. Hmm... maybe even a bit more than average. Anyway...

One of my personal favorites growing up: King Kong vs Godzilla. Of course, King Kong was from Skull Island by way of New York, and Godzilla was from Odo Island Japan – not quite America vs. China but close enough for a 9-year old.

Its 2003.

The dust from the dot-bomb explosion is settling, and I start a small (and I mean small) content-marketing company www.businesswatchnetwork (BWN).

I’m about as much a scientist, as I am a science denier. If you don’t know exactly what that means, you’re probably not alone.

Contrary to popular belief, there was an evolution of Steve Jobs Management style during his career. Yes that’s right – even Steve Jobs recognized (albeit not publicly) when his Management style failed, and attempted to make course corrections the next time out.

Having read Richard Branson's recent post, “What Does It Take to Be the Boss? Managers vs. Leaders” I'd like to suggest that determining whether you’re a "Manager" or a "Leader" is a matter of degrees.
