• Take this job and… work it.

• Take this job and… work it Being busy is not the same as being productive. Forget about the start-up overwork ethic that people wear as a badge of honor and get smart. The 80/20 principle, also known as Pareto’s Law, dictates that 80% of your desired outcomes are the result of 20% of your activities or inputs. It is possible to set yourself up to live your dreams as soon as you give up working for someone else’s dream. Taking a lesson from Tim Ferris ( The 4 Hour Work Week), one of the… Read more

• Convert an email to text (sms) for any phone carrier

•  This is a great little tip for anyone who wants to send an email to a client or colleague and have them receive it on their mobile. Most carriers have a specific email domain suffix just for this purpose. In most cases you can simply add the phone number with NO punctuation to the carrier suffix and then send as a regualr email. Verixon for example is “vtext.com”  (ie: 4151234567@vtext.com) – Just look at the list below for the major US carriers and follow the instructions – if… Read more
