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.

There’s a really simple process to getting what you want out of life. Know what you want. Find a way to get there. Conceptually, it’s not all that difficult. The problem is that it’s really freakin’ hard to settle on “what you want to be when you grow up.” Making a decision feels dangerous. After…

If you desire a remarkable life of passion and freedom, buckle up, because you’re in for an ass kicking. 48 hours ago, some guy I’ve never met changed my life. I’ve been following Bryan Franklin’s…
In last week’s installment of The Ultimate Guide to Owning Your Life, I recommended that you get behind the wheel of your own life and drive. If you haven’t read that one yet, get to it. This one will be here when you get back. Last week, I showed you how you can start taking…
A week ago, I told you that I had an awesome post coming out. The more I worked on it, the more passionate I became, and suddenly a 1,200 word post blew up into a 5,000 word snowball of awesomeness. So I’m breaking the post up into a series, of which this is the first…
