The Use of Words by Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

“You may ask, what then is the use of words?
They set you searching and excite you to search.
The goal of searching can never be attained through words.
If that were the case, there would be no need for so much striving and passion, prayer and longing, and constant consistent self-annihilating before the glory of the face.

Lessons Learned

Posted by:

I’m full of ideas. Many of them have fallen on deft ears or simply crumbled into a thousand little pieces. There were the empty webinar classes I facilitated and the programs that were poorly thought out. There were the rushed launches and big idea events that went painfully unnoticed. And there were moments when my cleverness got the best of me, like the time I decided to hire a virtual assistant to help me spread the word about my new ...

Truth, Grit, & the American Dream

Posted by:

Stuck Between Zero & One

Posted by:

Are you stuck just trying to begin, worried your idea is some silly pipe dream, or just plain running out of steam?

Here’s a great video about beginnings from the incomparable humorist and web guru, Zefrank. It made me laugh, think, and do. I hope you enjoy!
