I was kind of proud of that one.

MVPs for Friday February 9th

 

Although I don’t get the chance to do my MVP post every Friday, I have read some REALLY great posts this week, so indeed, they MUST be shared.

Is Google Competing with Me?

 

I recently started seeing new ads in my AdSense spots - run by Google:

Monday Motivation :: “That’s Not Me”

 

I have a friend that used to be a car salesman. He was very good at it too, to the tune of about $400K a year. One of his sales tactics was that he used to go out to the road and wave cars into the dealership. Not everyone came in, of course, but some […]
