Rainmaker Flowchart Presentation
I’ve worked for years with a serial entrepreneur in my home town, over twenty years of which were creating presentations for Advanced Life Insurance marketing at the MGA level. This master-seller spends countless days fine-tuning the pitch, honing it for simplicity. The value of the planning stage can not be underestimated. I recently became involved […]
Read MoreRestarting Idle Blogs after Hiatus
When it became time to rework my blogs, They needed some dusting off. For one thing, I had a domain name that was expiring, so I repurposed the content from my first WordPress, which was broken from moving some files. So, I cranked up some tunes and got to work. First, I had to use […]
Read MoreManually Editing HTML Pages
GAK is a word I made up.

Read MoreD.I.Y. Publishing Made Easy
When I was looking for my son’s Bar Mitzvah invitations online, all I saw was overpriced junk. Nothing was even close, so I dusted off the design tools and got busy. Type on a curve was fun old-school trick. Getting hebrew fonts was a bit of a grind, but there were some good ones out […]

The other day I had a chance to make a big chunk of change, but I discovered that my insurance license had expired TWO DAYS previously. Bummer.
