The Hidden Beauty
Posted on08. May, 2011 by Keith O'Brien.
Today I did a bunch of yard work. It was long overdue. Combining my recent travel schedule, my regular business schedule and just flat out not wanting to do it…I have let the landscaping slide. Honestly, I love doing it. It’s meditative for me. A few years ago I took my front and back yard [...]

I Miss My Mommy
Posted on07. May, 2011 by Keith O'Brien.
There is something just undeniably special about Mothers. It’s part love, part unconditionality, part intuition, part forgiveness and part…well, I’ll just call it “Mama’s Wisdom.” I can’t say that I always felt this way growing up. In fact, I often felt the opposite. For many of the years of my youth I resented my mom. [...]

Do What You Love And The Money Will Follow. I Call Bullshit!
Posted on02. Feb, 2011 by Keith O'Brien.
“Do what you love and the money will follow.” This is such crap. There is SO much more to making money from your passions than just doing what you love. I love to play videos games & drink cold beer while simultaneously getting a shoulder and foot massage from two different people…however, there is not [...]

Thanksgiving Connection

I am up in Jacksonville Beach visiting some of my dearest friends in the world for the Thanksgiving holiday. Their home backs up to a beautiful marsh and I am sitting here, having a little coffee as the sun comes up illuminating the marsh. Sunlight falls on the tall reeds of grass as they move [...]

The 40 Inch Jedi Returns. How Head Lice Rocked My World
Posted on12. Oct, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
Last week my son Brennan came down with a case of lice. We have no idea where he got it from. It could have been school. I could have been trying on Halloween masks. Who knows? If you have never had to deal with this crap, then you have no idea. It’s rough. The medical [...]

The Child And The Man
Posted on20. Sep, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
I found this piece I wrote years ago while traveling in Ireland. The Wicklow Mountains are a magical place if you have never been. There are sites in the mountains that from Pre-Christianity time. There’s a rural innocence to it all that is just breathtaking. Enjoy. ================================== The man sits on the edge of the [...]

Posted on02. Jul, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
Facebook should be a part of any social media marketing campaign. It’s a marketer’s wet dream. Seriously. It’s a rapidly growing, globally accepted, highly targetable, infinitely searchable, ridiculously viral, widely customizable platform that just keeps getting better and better (okay, this last part is debatable, but it still rocks). Do I sound like I am [...]

The 40 Inch Jedi Speaks, The Greatest Salesman In The World
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. The reality is, we are [...]
