1). Guitar Lessons: Guitar Playing Must Be A Passion
The first time I picked up a guitar my whole life changed. I think I slept with it the night I brought my first new guitar home. It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but it is true. I remember the feel of the guitar in my hands and the shape, which reminded me of a girl I once dated. But seriously it was love, pure love.

2). Golfing – The Joy Of Golf
I started playing golf as a way to entertain clients and socialize with my business vendors. If you have decided to take up golf as a hobby you will be rewarded with the benefits of fresh air, exercise, and the addition of many new friends and acquaintances.

The very first guitar I ever played was a Candy Apple Red Fender Stratocaster. It was love at first touch. I wanted that guitar SO bad.

The Fender Stratocaster was the guitar of choice for these incredible guitar players and many more.

Some days I feel like a plate of scrambled eggs. All messed up and with the strange feeling that despite my best efforts nothing really got accomplished. I felt like time was not on my side at all. Despite working 14 hours a day I was making very little money and was exhausted.

I needed a change so I implement these five simple steps to give me more personal time:

6). Social Media Keyword Tools
It is all about the keywords right? Well not really. It is actually all about the demographics each keyword represents. When someone searches Google you have to put yourself in the mindset of the searcher.

7). Government Bid Strategy: Success Metrics
A lot of businesses enter the government contracting arena with the expectation of the "$1000 mousetrap" that is, the idea that government work is a cash cow that can be milked by exorbitant over-pricing.

8). Social Media Networking- Why Should I?
While online networking is not the "end all, be all" of making personal connections, it has one valuable strengths that very few real world venues have- economy of scale.
