If you are going to launch online, I think you should become a chicken entrepreneur.  This is an idea I picked up from Michael Masterson in his book, The Pledge.   What is a chicken entrepreneur?   A chicken entrepreneur is someone who keeps his full time job.  He...

I didn't send a tip of the week out on Saturday because I couldn't find my way to the bottom of the the Black Friday emails inundating my inbox.  My message to advertisers is... Good grief, guys.  Calm down. Anyway... on to the tip of the week. I grew up in Europe,...

I once read that the average American reads one book a year. That statistic blows me away. If that's true, think about this.  If you decided to read one book a month in your field, in just one or two years, you'd be light years ahead of most of your competition. I...

From time to time, someone asks me to sign up as a vendor for a charter school. My reply is usually something like this. Unfortunately, no.  Too much paperwork.  Charter schools want background checks, insurance, licensing, and other bureaucratic paperwork filled out...

I think it is becoming abundantly clear that the government indoctrination camps we call the public schools no longer have the best interest of the students at heart. Maybe.  I am beginning to wonder what it would take to wake people up. Perhaps the following article...

Good morning! When people find out what I do for a living, they often say, “I wish I had time to learn a new language.” Turns out, they do.  And, so do you. Here are some quick and easy ways to create time to learn a new language. Wake up a bit earlier and study every...

Good morning! It’s easy to fall into negative thinking patterns.   In fact, if you consume any amount of media, you may suspect (as I do) that they want you to fall into those patterns.   The news is the only place where someone says “Good Evening!” and then lists all...

Have you ever landed on a website and wondered, “How did they build that?” If the site was built with Word Press (which runs a quarter of the blogs on the internet) there’s an easy way to find out. Simply copy the url of the site and paste it into the search bar on...

Hope you all are having a great break! Your grades are easy to find.  I created a short video for you.  But, it's simple, really.  Just go to my site: www.dwanethomas.com.  From there, find Members, then Watch Anytime, then scroll down until you see the class you are...
