What does it really mean?
In 2013, the best salesman in the world probably wouldn’t make a great buck selling VCRs or newspaper subscriptions. If nobody wants to buy what you’re selling, no amount of hype or spin can compensate. It’s true for anything. Still, when sales are down, we usually try to improve selling efforts rather than wondering if […]

Thank you, from Newtown
At a Christmas brunch in downtown Buffalo, N.Y. this morning, a woman I had just met asked me if I grew up anywhere in the area. “No. I’m from Connecticut, actually.” Naturally, she probed further. When I revealed I’m indeed from Newtown it prompted an uncomfortable reaction from my entire table. I used to like […]

Hubbard said, “The delight of creative work lies in self-discovery — you are mining nuggets of power out of your own cosmos…” Nuggets of power, eh, Elbert? The cosmos is an infinite place. Which suggests that you and I possess an internal infinity. An infinity with energy throughout. We have to locate the energy, though? […]
