This is it, my last e-newsletter of 2006!
I leave for Canada to celebrate the new year with some great friends on Sunday and I’ll spend much of the week there next week.
Remember the other day when I told you about the new diet and exercise program I’ve started?
I was thinking about it again today.
I really […]

Many of you have inquired about membership in the Family Wealth Planning Institute.  I apologize for not having gotten information to you sooner!
The Family Wealth Planning Institute is really where this all started.
Let me ’splain.
As you read in my Law Business Secrets e-newsletter today, I got very disillusioned with my estate planning practice when I […]

So, I’m sure you’re all wondering what the Hasbro toys have to teach us and who got the right answers.
It’s all about continuity.
Congratulations Kirsten and Leigh for getting it right! You’ll get to see the full evolution of our marketing campaign for the bank event in January. And, Joe and Janet, just for posting, you’ll […]

Baby Alive, on the other hand, has […]

In just a couple of hours, my mom, stepmom and grandma will arrive from Miami to spend some time with me and the kids.
Yes, you read that right. My mom AND my stepmom.
Ever since my dad’s death a couple of years ago, my mom and stepmom hang out quite frequently.
It’s not that weird if you […]

My email today to my Daily Practice Tips subscribers was full of spiritual concepts that are easy to talk about, but can be difficult to apply in real life.
Have faith.  Let go.
Um, okay, but I’m running a business here for pete’s sake!  I’m fairly certain the IRS is not going to accept faith instead of […]

I got an email from a blog subscriber, (hey, you could subscribe too! Just put your email address in that box in the upper right corner over there and press subscribe.) asking about acquiring lists for direct mail.
