Personal Development for Smart People^TM

I announced this upcoming speaking engagement in my March newsletter, but I want to mention it here too in case any non-subscribers are interested.
Hay House is the publisher of my upcoming book, Personal Development for Smart People, and they’ve invited me to speak at their I Can Do It! Conference at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, […]

Update Mar 21, 2008: The Spring Special is being held over for another week… until midnight on March 28th.
This is a quick announcement to inform you that Site Build It! is currently running a $100 Spring special. The details are the same as the Valentine’s Day special they ran last month. Basically when you buy […]

Yesterday I went a little crazy installing some new plugins for the blog. Most of these were on the administrative side, but there are some new public features as well.
There are thousands of WordPress plugins available, so it can take quite a while to sort through them to find the gems. One thing that helped me a […]

Earlier this month we added a new World Affairs forum to the site’s forums.
Adding this forum was a controversial decision. During the past year, it was suggested multiple times that we add a forum where people can discuss environmental issues, government, politics, the War in Iraq, elections, and so on. My initial response was “No, […]

Erin recently decided to start offering consulting services on her web site.  You can visit her consulting page for details and topics, or read her recent blog post about it.
Technically she’s been doing consulting for a while.  Some people would book a reading with her and then use their reading time to ask her questions […]

Here’s the complete review of the trip Erin and I took to New York City.  It was our first time visiting New York and it was an interesting contrast to living in Las Vegas.
Instead of doing a day-by-day chronological report, we decided to share our thoughts by location and theme.  This made it easier for us to do a […]

The reason I haven’t posted the New York City trip review yet is that I’ve been sick the past several days.  Erin and I co-wrote the review last week (about 6000 words), but I still need to add the photos.  I’ll have it online by the end of the week.
This was a strange illness.  I had a mild cold near the […]

Erin and I are back in Las Vegas after a wonderful week in New York City.  We’ll write a full review of the trip and share some photos later this week.
Saturday’s Manhattan meet-up went very well with 40-50 people attending.  We had a lot more RSVPs than that, but I’m sure we lost some people after switching […]

Good news — Erin and I secured a location for our New York City meet-up.  However, in order to get the space we had to go for a morning meet-up instead of an afternoon meet-up.
The location is a dance rehearsal studio on 54th St between 8th Ave and Broadway in Midtown.  It’s just a few doors […]

Erin and I are in our hotel room in Midtown Manhattan.  We’ve only been in the city about 30 hours so far, but it’s been a fun trip.  More on that later…  Right now we’re having some challenges with the NYC meet-up we planned to do on Saturday, October 20.  For those who are interested […]
