Never Put Profits First

December 21, 2013

Most ideas I learned from business books were useless. The rest were downright harmful. Intuition and experimentation have been the best guides.

4D Relationships

December 18, 2013

For the past several months, I’ve been actively exploring 3D relationships with men and women as well as 4D relationships with women, as explained in Enjoying Rich and Abundant Relationships.
