    Key Questions To Ask Running Your Business From Home?

    June 24, 2020 /

    Listen, I recently explored the possibility of starting your own business. And while I focused mostly on the branding, I failed to address the “where.” So, now that you have the idea and you have your brand, you need your bad-ass startup space.

However, that doesn’t mean that you won’t face challenges.

    Gift Ideas That Any Guy Would Love

    October 26, 2018 /

    For us guys, gifting is often a struggle. We might be the same gender as our fathers, brothers, cousins, partners, and friends. But that doesn’t mean that we’ve nailed how to shop for other guys. We might know what we love to receive, but that doesn’t mean that we know how to purchase the perfect gifts for the other guys in our lives. Whether you’re choosing a birthday gift, a Christmas treat, or a little pick-me-up for a friend, partner or family member, it’s not always easy to find that perfect item. Gift buying isn’t an easy task – the issue is a combination of the fact that there’s a…

    The Seemingly Impossible Question: Can You Lose Weight Quickly AND Healthily?

    October 26, 2018 /

    We all wish we could take a magic pill to lose weight, but we know, deep down, it’s not that simple. When we have pressure upon us to lose weight, the temptation can be to go down the very unhealthy route, are there any ways for us to lose weight quickly and healthily? The Science Of Weight Loss We equate fat with weight gain when it’s our body storing excess sugars and carbohydrates, not “fat”! So when we are looking to lose weight, the trick is to cut down on carbohydrates. This is why the ketogenic diet is so popular, where you eat substantial amounts of fat, and keep carbs…

    Organizing Your First Tour-De-Friends

    March 17, 2018 /

    Life has gotten so busy that it has become harder than ever to actually hang with your “crew,” which is a total farce. We all need bonding time with our friends or we’ll go so insane; our brains could literally start to melt and then drip out of our ears. And I’m not just talking about grabbing some after-work drinks because, when it comes to some meaningful bonding, that just won’t cut it. The only way you can really, truly connect with your mates is to go on a tour-de-friends. Yup, I’m talking about hitting the road. Of course, there’s probably a part of you that is thinking: bachelor party.…

    Getting Your Sparkle Back With These Simple Steps

    October 9, 2017 /

    Listen, sometimes in life — with work, education, and family noise — we can lose a little bit of our spark. It’s small things that you might not notice at first. One morning you don’t manage to fit in your normal routine, or you find yourself slinging on the same outfit day after day. You might even find that when once you would wear bright colors and bold prints, that your confidence to do such things has lessened somehow. It can happen to anyone, at any point. Life sometimes has a way of getting in the way. If we are going to be real about it, it has happened to…

    Iceland: What To Do In That Other Nordic Nation

    North of the UK and West of Norway is the nation of Iceland. They are Nordic people so they have a history linked to the Scandinavian parts of Europe. A country of just around 334,000 people, it’s not that well-known. Well, the things that are well-known about it are its wildlife and the geological wonders it has. It’s a landscape of geysers and hot springs that shoot up hot water sometimes over a hundred feet into the air. There are waterfalls surrounded by luscious green foliage. And as you look outward toward the coasts you can see huge icebergs floating around. The sea animals that find Iceland as a safe…
