Broken promises and shattered dreams


I've been very quiet for months.


I'm not ignoring you.


The major shifts by Google, Facebook and social media engagement has consumed me.


AI has consumed me.


So many opportunities.


So many platforms.


The AI explosion reminds me of the internet 1.0 boom.


In the late 1990s, everyone was racing to jump on the internet bandwagon.


So many opportunities.


So many ideas.


A friend left a stable job at Chevron to join a dot com startup.


Within a year, his stock options were worth $75 million...


...on paper.


He took out a second mortgage on his house and invested everything into more stock options.


A few months later, his company went bust.


He lost everything.


His job.


His house.


His car.


And his marriage.


Eventually, the AI industry will consolidate.


The cream will rise to the top.


The weak will disappear in a slew of broken promises and shattered dreams.


In 2024, I invested heavily into learning AI.


I invested in two masterminds and numerous coaching programs to stay ahead of the curve.


Most of what I learned last January is obsolete.


AI tools are evolving faster than any technology I've seen in my 30+ year career.


Google, Facebook, Instagram and online marketing are undergoing massive shifts.


Where should we invest our time and money in 2025?


You don’t have time to sift through countless platforms and tools.


You can’t afford to fall behind in your career or business.

I'm still enjoying the high from today's Peloton ride and pondering the nugget shared by Alex Toussaint. The Peloton instructors not only give your body a workout, they share inspirational thoughts that stretch your thinking. Today Alex shared something simple but powerful. "If you're making big changes in your life, don't make one big change. Take micro steps." Micro steps. Not one giant leap. Not some massive transformation overnight. Just small steps, one at a time. Seems pretty obvious,...

Whether you climbed the corporate ladder, built your own business, or spent decades making things happen in your job, your worth was measured the same way. By what you completed. Finish the presentation. Close the deal. Hit the numbers. Get to the next meeting. Every day was a race to complete things so I could move on to the next thing. And here's what nobody tells you about your next chapter: You bring that mindset with you. Last week, I caught myself feeling anxious because I'd only...

cyber Monday

If your inbox looked anything like mine yesterday, you probably waded through about 247 "LAST CHANCE!" emails before your morning coffee. And now? Poof. The clock struck midnight, and those "once-in-a-lifetime" deals vanished like Cinderella's carriage. So here's my question for you: Did you participate in Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a consumer? Were you satisfied with your "investment"? Did you participate as a seller? The numbers are staggering. Consumers spent $10.8 billion online on...
