These last few months have obviously changed everyone’s lives in a significant way. From what I can tell people are either doing substantially better or substantially worse.

It’s been waaay too long since I’ve posted anything, so I thought I’d ease back into it with a brief reflection. I remember back in 2006 when I was fresh out of college and scrambling to find a job before my 6 month grace period for student loans ended. I had started out working at Scotts Lawn Care, which I…

With that new perspective I was able to accomplish a weeks worth of things that affect long term goals. It was pretty unbelievable to me, things I was fighting…
If you visit a gym regularly, once November hits the jokes about the impending swarm of new years “resolutioners” begins. For about 2 months the gym will be a crowded nightmare until the majority of the “resolutioners” lose motivation and return to their regular habits. Because of things like this the whole New Years resolution concept has a bad rep…
I’m back! Before I say anything else, I just want to explain to email subscribers that you are receiving this email because of your subscription to the MarketplacePartner.com blog.
