To be, or not to be… healthy!
I wish health food tasted the same as ice cream, pizza, or chocolate.
I noticed something interesting though, and that is if you can prevent yourself from buying anything unhealthy at the grocery store, you can eat healthy by way of force. Of course you also need to swear off any type of fast food, but for the most part, not buying unhealthy food is the trick.
My problem is drinks. Often times I will stop at a Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Gas Station etc, and purchase an energy drink. I can't even count how many ways an energy drink is bad for you. The best way to handle this urge is to never carry cash with you and only make completely necessary stops.
When thinking back to my own eating habits and trying to analyze how to correct them, I found myself eating unhealthy in moments of opportunity. So I started to plan ahead and remove those moments of opportunity. If I didn't bring a lunch to work, that created an opportunity to go out to a fast food restaurant rather than purchasing a deli sandwich.

Entrepreneurs with an idea should ask themselves, so what?
I just saw an interview on Mixergy with Mark Magnacca, author of "So What?".
The video can be viewed here: http://mixergy.com/so-what-magnacca/
It was an interesting interview. He talked about how to make a presentation that will engage the audience. There are two great examples in the interview.
Mark talks about how he went in to give a presentation, and did a run through with an associate, someone whom appeared to be someone of importance. At the end of the presentation, he was simply asked, "So what?". Which is a difficult question to answer if you are not prepared for it. He explained that he was embarrassed that he could not answer the question. And this was the basis of the book, "So what?".
Mark uses three questions to help you prepare for any type of a presentation:
For what?
So what?
Now what?
The questions are a bit ambiguous but they can be molded to be relevant to any presentation.
A great example given is from a friend of his that did a presentation that he was going to be sitting in on. Before the presentation started, he asked him to give him his introduction. He talked about how he had 4,000 employees and had been in business since 1846. And Mark asked him, does that mean that a company with 10,000 employees is twice as good as yours? His point was, he was not engaging the audience. He recommended he discuss that the company has been around since 1846 because it has weathered two World Wars, the Great Depression, and many other difficult obstacles for a business. Which would segway into the fact that he had created a financial investment process that can be replicated for repeated success.
Sometimes we need someone to ask those brash and difficult questions such as, so what?
I am looking forward to reading his book.

It is about time…
I have installed wordpress hundres of times. I currently write for multiple sites running wordpress. So I figured it was about time to install wordpress for myself.
When you write for a site that is not your own, generally there are certain guidelines to the articles that you can write. However, I wanted an area of the web that was all mine. And that is the purpose of running your own blog.
So here we are.
Let the games begin!
