Setting New Year’s Resolutions for 2013?
I have a confession to make: I have never been very good at making New Year’s resolutions. At least not intentionally. A few years ago, I got into the habit of setting goals, following through and achieving those goals that I decided for myself. So, why should anyone declare to a bunch of people after…
Read MoreDoes the Election Really Matter to Small Business?
I’d like to thank Barry Moltz for posting on his blog that helped get my wheels of thought turning on this topic. Now that the presidential election is over, what does this mean for small business? It is not news to write that this was probably THE most hyped presidential election I have ever seen…
Read MoreLearning and More Learning
If there is one thing I have been doing a lot of lately, it’s learning new things. You may have seen this picture as part of the header of another blog site I am working on. I didn’t download this photo from a photo stock source, like Getty Images. I took it with my camera. …
Read MorePersonal Change and Why It’s Good (aka “What To Do When Your Blog Sucks”)
I was thinking about two titles and I went with the first title…but I also had to include what I was thinking when I started working on this blog again. I was reading my blog a few months ago and I thought about letting it go. Then I thought that I might have some relevant information…
Read MoreA Lesson in Personal Leadership
This is a story about personal leadership from events that took place on June 7th. I’ve almost got a new web site “marketable.” I start thinking about the supporting Facebook and Google Plus page I have to build. I have to write a blog entry. Wait, I’m doing it right now! I have to get all…

Steve Farber is author of The Radical Leap, The Radical Edge, Greater Than Yourself and the compliation of the first two books, The Radical Leap Re-Energized. I think it was June…
Read MoreNo Lemonade, Just Entrepreneurship
When I started this blog in this format in October of last year, I was perplexed by this thing called a tagline. I wanted to come up with something catchy and something that reflected overcoming struggles and challenges, a topic that I know a lot about. I decided to call it “Defining The Fine Art…
Read MoreA Whole Lot of Branding Going On
It’s been a little while since I posted a blog, but that’s not because I’ve been sitting idly. I have been learning how to do things a little more effectively. In mid-February, I was re-introduced to the topic of personal branding. Although I have been working on different business concepts for over 20 years, I…
Read MoreRedefining My Purpose: Make Money as an Affiliate
I was reading Carol Roth’s e-mail newsletter last week. Carol Roth is the author of The Entrepreneur Equation, a book that I went absolutely bananas over after reading it in April 2011. I still like it and I like her. She is someone I whose advice I trust and I admire her personally for her accomplishments. …
Read MoreTurn Resolutions Into Goals
The New Year 2012 has begun and it’s a great time for positive change, optimism and encouragement. I used to hear about the resolutions that everyone had written down for the New Year. Recently I have noticed that it’s not something I hear other people talking about anymore. Maybe with the new tools people have these…
