When I started writing on The Tao of Rob, I felt a strong calling to the project. More so as I reached out and touched the lives of the people who read my blog, I began to feel a sense of obligation. Therefore, as my enthusiasm for my writing waned and I was drawn to…

I did something really crazy last month, and I’ve waited until now to tell you about it. I took a job. On Jan. 31, I officially started working for BrandGlue, a Facebook marketing agency in Washington state, to head up their sales and marketing initiatives. I work remotely from my home office on my terms….
Last week, I wrote a post about improving your life by taking one little step at a time. What I didn’t mention is that it was inspired by someone who blindsided me with gratitude. It was exactly what I needed to give me a second wind and keep me going in a time when I…
Look back on your life. How many projects have you started that never came to fruition? You’ve probably long since forgotten many of them. Heck, I have a folder on my computer filled with unfinished books and manifestos. I’m the king of not following through on things that I get started. And every single time…

I haven’t been posting much lately. I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection, battling with self doubt, questioning my motives and wondering why I do what I do. I’ve wondered if my actions were in line with my values. And so, I decided to turn inward to examine why I write. A few weeks…
Reading via email? Click here to view this video on the web. Video Highlights I’m sick. So I may sound a little hoarse. Not to be confused with sounding like a horse. 0:56: Two reasons that you don’t get what you want. 1:10: Step one–clearly define what you want. 2:50: Step two–take the first step….
In 2000, I had an opportunity to fly a plane. When I was 14, I took a flight from NY to NC. As we crossed over a body of water, I asked my mom if it was Chesapeake Bay. She didn’t know, so we asked the attendant, who didn’t know, either. She scurried to the…
Yesterday afternoon, the fine folks in The 3% Club (my email newsletter) got first dibs on a pretty sweet deal. I’m offering up 10 hours of my time to Tao of Rob readers who want to grow their lifestyle businesses in 2011, and there are still some spots left for the general public. I wanted…
