  indianola is currently a ghost town in south texas that at one time was a thriving city on the coast just about half the size of houston back in 1875, as i read the story of the downfall of this city it brought me to the relationship of how people can get beat down and never get back up. the downfall of indianola starts back in september of 1875 when the town was struck by a horrible hurricane almost completely destroying the city and killing almost 300 people, they rebuilt and got back to their lives.  in august of… keep on reading >>

it looks like it might be time for my next transition, i’ve never experienced anything like the past 6 months.  Burn Out.  i thought it was just a space where people get tired of what they’re doing as a career … it is so much more.  if you haven’t had the pleasure of this journey, i honestly can’t say if you’re lucky or to look forward to it.  not that it is easy, but the process is life altering for sure. i remember a few years ago when it became clear that i would never have another J-O-B, it was… keep on reading >>

i’ve started working with an executive coach this year to help me find a new adventure in my career, and one of the first ideas that hit the table was to buy an existing business.  it actually never dawned on me to even check it out, i just always thought of myself as creating something new … but that can take a lot of time. then today entrepreneur magazine posted this article on how the market of businesses for sell is starting to grow again (Business-for-Sale Market Ready to Expand), and how the businesses that have made it through the… keep on reading >>

It hasn’t always been the easiest path, being genetically unemployable, but with creativity and diligence I have created a life where I usually can’t tell the difference between working and playing.  Is your life that way? It can be, not overnight of course and not without a lot of work.  First you have to decide and document what you want that life to look like, maybe even pull together a vision board.  Here is an example:  (my initial goal) work 2-3 days per week be able to work from anywhere be financially independent enjoy the my work, be passionate My description… keep on reading >>

What is most important to you?  For me, it’s freedom … freedom to create, move about the country and learn as much as life has to teach. I have coined the term genetically unemployable™  to give this lifestyle a name; and to be able to help others architect their own lifestyle through my experiences and guidance.  I was told it wasn’t possible, that I was dreaming … luckily I didn’t listen.  And now I want everyone that feels the pull to have a chance at architecting the life of their dreams. Open your eyes and remember what you are passionate… keep on reading >>
