When to Walk Away

When do you know it’s time to walk away? Is it when the boss/client is not going to pay you? Now, I’m not talking about getting stiffed. In my opinion, getting stiffed is grounds for never working with that individual again.
But what if you are told — or just expected — to work extra and [...]

Having a Bad Day? Focus on Your Goal

We all have bad days, for any number of reasons. I was having a bad day this morning. Things were just going rough. No worries, though, because after I caught myself wallowing in my bad day, I focused on my goal and the stress just went away.

Stop Reading and Start Doing

“Just one more book, and I’m ready.” Do you say that to yourself? I used to. I didn’t get tired of reading, and I still feel like I don’t have enough information or ideas. But I was ready to start.

It’s not the most informative ebook I’ve ever read on internet business and marketing, but it’s not meant to be an all-inclusive how [...]

My New Office

Here I am in my new office, and let me tell you…it’s cozy. To a degree. My posture will be better writing here, due to the semi-ergonomic setup, but there’s not enough light, and it’s a bit cramped.
You see, I’m in my bedroom closet. My previous arrangement (writing with my laptop on the edge of [...]

Check out The Rich Jerk

If for no other reason, you need to go to this site for it’s interesting approach to marketing. The “Rich Jerk” claims right at the top of the page that he’s “better than you,” a claim that made me smile.
He says that he’s going to show you how to make money, in simple, easy steps, [...]

Coming soon

Cube Escape has a couple of changes coming soon. First, I’ll be finding a new theme for the site. This theme has been pretty good to me, but I think I want something a little more flexible. Instead of spending the time to edit this theme or write my own, I’m just going to find [...]

Self Employed or Not Self Employed? That is the Question…

Running a business isn’t for everyone. Some people are scared to death of it — the work, the responsibility, the investments. Others are just comfortable in their jobs and don’t want to leave. Some think that they are so far in debt they feel they can’t afford to take the risk of running a company [...]
