Been almost a week now since leaving America, and I can’t help but feel I have: a) Increased my business contacts and leads exponentially – between the networking events, face time with people I have been working with, and over all hustling around the USA in 2 months, I have built up a new long list of business contacts and …

These Long Flights Always Get Me Thinking
Currently in a connection in Shanghai, China, and while I don’t think anyone looks forward to these long international flights…this 16 hour flight I have been doing a lot of reflecting….thinking….writing on scratch paper. Talking in my head. Giving myself pep talks. Giving more motivational inspiration on paper….probably because I don’t sleep at all, and the stewardess keeps getting me …
Am I Addicted To Traveling? Or Just Running Away?
Especially since last weekend’s wedding, I have been in a different state every other day.

Eminem is More Motivational Then Ever
I’m not going to attempt to say I’m an expert in the rap scene – I just follow what’s playing on the radio, club, bar – But I remember Eminem back when he came out, and I was in high school – he was derogative, slanderous, disrespectful, etc etc – It was rather hilarious and got him a lot of …
Why Did I Choose to Stay in New York?
Sure, my family has moved / retired down in Florida, it was great to see them, and I have hometown friends in Hartford, Connecticut – but New york is where my heart belongs. As far back as I can remember, growing up in Connecticut, watching the movies, the “rebel” Yankees (yea, everyone in my family and most of my friends …

My Transition to Minimalism + Focusing on Life, not Things
Got an email today from Kate who says she’s been following my blog for some time now – nice – thanks for reading! And again, I am a believer on minimalism – after moving around so much, “stuff” isn’t really that valuable, you have to pay to move it, or give it away (wait, I mean try to sell it …

Talk about a life in a fishbowl – a global fishbowl! I’m hustling and running from country to country, state to state….its exhausting.
