Riot Games, delays and their growth
I just started playing League of Legends, a game I wanted to play for awhile and I enjoy watching others play. I avoided it because the community is known to be very toxic and I do not have the patience for that type of immature behavior. In the end, it is a game. Rage at […]
Dealing with narcissistic people
Off and on today I’ve been looking at the comments on this video. Even though he says he does not take requests and explained why, there are a lot people either trying to sneak and make a request or making suggestions on how he “could” take requests. They don’t care about what he wants […]
Engaging your target audience

The Pitfalls of Making Mistakes
I had a conversation the other day on Twitter about it being okay to make mistakes. I honestly do not understand the logic in thinking it is okay to screw up.
Online pricing: should the rich pay more?
Do people who make more pay more for goods and services? Of course they do. In some situations, this works and is the only way for companies to sustain themselves. Online companies usually do not have this excuse. Rarely do online companies have overhead that need to be increased based on income and rarely does the company owner have the knowledge of how much the consumer makes to accurately determine if their audience receives higher incomes. Scaling prices based on income can backfire if not handled properly.
An honest look at personal brands and social media
Social networking tools are being used more and more every day. Unfortunately, what people do not realize is that by using these tools, they are creating a personal brand. A personal brand is simply what people think of you when your name is mentioned.

The penalties of not listening I suppose. Anyway, let’s talk about it what is really going on with social media.
Business partners and unrealistic expectations
Why do most start-ups fail? Same reason why many commercial bloggers do not have the success they would like. Unrealistic expectations. Everyone isn’t meant to have their own business just as everyone isn’t meant to be a doctor, lawyer, police officer, etc. A startling number of people enter into the commercial arena with zero business experience, and without the inclination to take some classes (gain some knowledge) to help them excel.
