People's reputations are made in the bad times more than the good times.

Blogging is great, and I read blogs all day long. However, my goal is really to have a deep, meaningful discussion with people. For some reason, I'm able to accomplish this best via email.

I get a lot of emails from entrepreneurs. The best ones are short, to the point and include some question and/or the product

If you can't sell your product, it's not a product-it's a hobby.

Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective; this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God. We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend. I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple; so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens.

The currency of blogging is authenticity and trust.

Fortunes are built during the down market and collected in the up market.
