Yesterday I scared little children around the world with photos of me at 225 pounds. I did warn you beforehand, so please don't send me your psycho-analysis and therapy bills. For the past three months I have been on The Joel Comm Diet, which is not a diet at all. Instead it combines common sense with a plan that works for me. I am pleased to say that three months later I have lost 35... Continue Reading

WARNING: What you are about to see may traumatize you. Parents of small children are cautioned from letting their kids see the photos on this page.

There are two reasons this has been a problem... Continue Reading

I've been at Project Fit for about a month now. My goal has been to prove you don't need to go to extremes in order to lose weight and become healthier. There's nothing wrong with extreme exercising as it really can't do you harm. But there is a problem with extreme dieting. I don't want to be extreme in any way. After reading The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy, I wanted to put his theories... Continue Reading

If you are an online business person with multiple websites, you know that keeping tabs on all of them can sometimes be a tangled nightmare. After all, websites do best with regular (read: daily or near daily) maintenance and updating, and keeping track of when you've done what on which site can be a challenge for even someone who was born organized. Now there is an exciting new option to help you manage your sites... Continue Reading

It's not always easy to put yourself out there and develop the online presence that is going to be so essential for the success of your business.

It's exciting, but I don't think... Continue Reading

I've put a lot of hours into World of Warcraft. Maybe some would say that I've put too many hours into World of Warcraft. But I enjoyed that time, so those people are wrong. Continue Reading

Earlier this year I received a Facebook message from a person representing a well-known author and speaker who has done quite well in the infomercial space. I was told their group was interested in meeting with me to explore the possibility of creating an infomercial that would feature me and teach people about the opportunity for making money on the Internet.
