Ship Deliver Complete Cash won’t flow until you do the work. This week, focus on completing jobs and getting paid for them.
Turning on the Cash Faucet
In our pixelated workshop we learned that money is a representation of value. Money, in and of itself, does not give you anything. You can trade it for things you want. Getting more money is only one way of getting things. Other ways are: Not needing them Trading Making or doing it yourself Not Needing […]
Aside – Books and the way they colour yo
I’m reading a novel, April Witch, by Swedish author, Majgull Axelsson. It is a beautifully written, dark and awful story of mothers who hurt their daughters and what happens to those daughters when they grow up. One of the worst things a mother can do is make her daughter feel unworthy and I found myself […]
Aside – Hearing the Writer’s Voice
I keep coming up with interesting thoughts (at least to me) that don’t really fit with the month’s theme, so I decided to just post them anyway and call them Asides. I was reading Daniel Pink’s Drive when I came across a side-bar quote by Stefan Sagmeister. As I was reading it, I could hear […]
Turning on the Cash Faucet – Accounts Re

Uncover 4 More Hours: A Pixelated Worksh...
I’m going to start adding a Pixelated Workshop every month based on Mitch Joel’s Pixelated Conference. This is a compilation of information gleaned from the web around our theme. Our theme for February is Uncover 4 More Hours. It’s a take-off on the 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferris. I love this book and […]
Everything I learned about Delegating I ...
If you can motivate your kids, without having that ‘You’re Fired’ card, you can motivate anyone. If you can stand your ground as they give you that look while you point to their messy room, you can motivate anyone. If you can get your kids to do what they say now and not sometime next […]
Time Resources
Several years ago I realized I had more on my plate than I could possibly accomplish. I wrote down a list of everything I was doing with the intention of crossing a bunch off. The only thing I wanted to ditch was the housework; but given my lack of enthusiasm for that, it only saved […]
