your best
Seth recently blogged about what gets done differently when the Pope is in town. The ship runs a bit tighter. The smiles stetch a bit wider. And so on.
Instead of saving your best for the occasion that just happens to happen to you, why not save your best for the occasion that’s begging for something […]
the benefit of the doubt
Give it to everyone until they’ve un-earned it. What is there to lose?
If a customer rips into you (the rude way) - then they don’t have management training. This doesn’t mean they don’t have a valuable insight for you. It’s your job to extract it from the rubble.
If you’re owed money - don’t ask […]
real people are saying
The Independent Bureau of Weblogs has rated this blog “insightful and obscure.”
The Online division of the Amateur Writer’s Association says, “ideas for conversations is smashing in it’s own sentimental way.”
J.D. Power & Associates says…
I’m still waiting for the day when we reference what real people say. Those people who we’re writing for (or doing whatever […]
when there are no words, just say fuzzy
Ironically, as I sit here and write, there is someone on my MSN who is speaking to me about his girlfriend who’s having problems finding a job. My advice to her was ‘get focused and be specific about what you want.’ It’s easier to get in the door by being the right fit for a […]
my facebook review
Her: ||?.
Me: andrew
I asked her what impression she got from my pictures. She answered with a Facebook profile review that I probably should have paid for. Ironically, this may be the first conversation ever to hit ‘ideas for conversations’.
21/10/2007 11:02:09 PM ||?. … you’re keeping it censored.
21/10/2007 11:02:28 PM ||?. … it’s clear. […]
the gen y forgottens
I make a point to stay up to date with all the talk about Generation Y - how they’re a pain to manage, they expect the world, and how they have the talent to do great things. Many university students are taking a crack at their own companies right away, instead of waiting for a […]
the good persons experiment
100 years ago there were good people who cared about the rights of all people. Rights for those of colour, rights for women, rights to land (only to scratch the surface). 100 years later we are making strides in equality, but are now faced with a new set of judgments from our neighbour.
Now we define […]
three stages of opening your mouth
1. Opening your mouth when you’ve heard the lingo, are getting your news at the same time as your neighbour, and your opinion reflects that of the loudest voice you’ve heard.
2. Opening your mouth when you’ve been overwhelmed by just how much “stuff” really exists on the topic, you’re no longer sure who’s right, and […]
humour of the sexes
About a week ago I posted a video clip of a high-tech, state of the art, pregnancy test. I then went on to call it a ridiculous mismatch (of male humour aimed at female buyers). This got me thinking about the difference between male and female humour.
As a man (most days), I feel privileged. I […]
billable hours
I was talking to a friend the other day. He has his own small business successfully driven by his book, speaking engagements and sincere passion for what he does.
We’ve been talking about doing some work together for some time. I could have billed him already but, friendship aside, I make a point only to charge […]

about
Someone who talks a lot, listens a lot, sings on the streets and loves big ideas. If you need a discipline or two for piece of mind, try Marketer and Entrepreneur. If you need a title to legitimize why you'd waste your time here, I can't help you. I work with people on fire for the businesses they love.
