The Holiday Paradox. A Non-Denominational Rant
Posted on04. Apr, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.

Posted on29. Mar, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
No, this isn’t about Og Mandino’s classic book.
It’s about my 5 yr old son, Brennan, and his talent for persuasiveness.
Many people talk about how they “aren’t a salesman” or a “salesy type person,” with great pride as if being in sales is a disease to get rid of.

Posted on29. Jan, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
Is Richard Branson teaching a class on network marketing?
No, he isn’t.
Honestly, since I have never even seen anything published by him on the subject, I couldn’t honestly say what he thinks about the industry.

Marketing Identity Crisis. Is Being You Really That Hard?
Posted on30. Dec, 2009 by Keith O'Brien.
Remember high school? For some people it was at absolute blast and for others it was four years of torturous hell. For most people it was some of both.

To Feel or Not To Feel. That Is The Question.
Posted on19. Dec, 2009 by Keith O'Brien.
Something strange has happened to me recently. I started feeling stuff.

Fo Shizzle Manizzle!
Our homey Webster describes Gratitude this way…
“Warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; thankful”
This is the time of year that we are culturally reminded to “Give Thanks.”
Or as the urban dictionary says… Give “Fanks”
“An alternative to “thank you,” Fanks is the ultimate gratitude of one individual towards another.”
So today, right now, [...]
