  • Learn from Robert Kiyosaki and Change Your Friends

    The people we associate with and learn from are a major factors in our financial and business success. Robert Kiyosaki chose to learn from his Rich Dad and many of us have chosen to learn from Robert and his friends. Now Kiyosaki has started a discussion forum where people can receive much better advice than…

  • How to Ride a Horse

    I just found a great article on the net, simple, readable, and accurate on how to ride a horse. I will be citing it and building a post on its concepts in a day or two. Why would I search for such a thing? I was just going over some of my business affiliations in…

  • Fon Home

    I was amazed when I saw this idea. It is all about "fonning." I pay a fortune for wireless Internet services to two different vendors. This is a growing concept/business whose effectiveness depends on that growth. The October 15, Business Week article on Fon says, " Less than two years since its launch, FON has…

  • Making WAVES

    "Don’t make waves." You have heard that advice. You have heeded it. perhaps you have given it. Perhaps it is the top of your list of survival techniques. There is only one problem with it. It is bad advice. With currents come waves … or perhaps currents are made of waves. Either way, they are…

  • Dry and Wet Seasons

    I have been a little dry lately. I don’t know if it is a lack of focus, a drought of motivation/inspiration, the pressures of life, or just a season, but there has been a wall between what I have wanted and needed to say and my frontal lobe functions culminating in finger tips on the…

  • Your Concept of God

    Brennan Manning, who God uses to speak to my heart as few others makes this bold statement, "You’re only going to be as big as your concept of God." He poses a searching question about a heavenly encounter with Jesus where our Lord asks us if we truly realized how much He loved us and…

  • Optimism

    Are you optimistic? The Online Etymology Dictionary is my friend, confirming my quasi-informed suspicions about words and their origins such as "optimism." When I say I am optimistic, I want to know that what I think I mean is what I am really saying. Here is their take on the word: "1782, from Fr. optimisme…

  • Too Blessed?

    I was coming out of the parking lot after the Fresno Business Forum today when an SUV swung around to my left in a one-way-the-other-way lane to negotiate a left turn in front of me. The driver then accelerated in a manner that suggested hurry and slammed to a stop in  the next round of…

  • Tomorrow = Big Day and Other Stuff

    Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 23, is a big day for the Sims family and your prayers will be appreciated. We will be having our home inspected and will be interviewed for the purpose of having our grandchildren placed in our care. There are some other decisions involved as well. Forgive this foray into a blatantly personal…

  • A Dose of Jim Rohn

    Jim Rohn says that some things are out of our reach until we develop ourselves. He says we have to stand on the books we read. Here is another quote from Jim: "Success is something you attract by the person you become." One more from Jim today: "Profits are better than wages. You earn a…
