I was speaking with a business owner who told me he recently talked to a business buyer. The buyer had a list of questions and if the answers weren’t what he wanted the conversation was over. This before meeting the owner, impressing the owner with his skills, or seeing the business. The owner “missed” on one question, the conversation was immediately over, and my comment was, “If that’s one of his criteria he’ll be searching for a long time.

The creation of worthwhile work is a duet. The creator has to do her part, but so does the customer. One of the best airport restaurants I've ever encountered breaks my first rule of airport eating. The sushi bar at gate 30 of Narita airport is a special place (though I wish they didn't serve tuna). The rice is extraordinary. The nori is crisp. The service is efficient but friendly.

Most of us have two speeds. There's the grind, the day after day, a marathon, work work work. And there's the recovery, the sleep in, Netflix and chill zombie state that we compartmentalize into a day like today. But what about sprints? Not sprints because the boss or the client insists. Sprints that we take on merely because they energize us and remind us of how much we can do when we get out of our own way.

When taking Confession, as an official member of the church, you felt an obligation to tell all your sins, not just the easy ones.

One thing that's often taught in amateur internet marketing school is the idea of keyword stuffing.
