Get in the “Shark Tank”: Build Your Personal Brand

I?m not what they call ?business-savvy.? While I am self-employed and do run my own ?company? per se, I have the business acumen of an out-of-work hot dog car owner. I am, however, fascinated by business and entrepreneurship. Being so, I?ve been watching ABC?s ?Shark Tank? voraciously. If you haven?t seen ?Shark Tank,? here?s a

Changes: Turn and Face the Strain

Are you like Garth Algar from ?Wayne?s World?? Do you fear change? Are you so set in your ways that you look at every unplanned moment as some chaotic interruption of your master plan? If so, you?re seriously lacking in confidence and should loosen the straight jacket and start rolling with the punches ASAP. Those

Envy in the Digital Age

Don?t you just hate that friend of yours on Facebook who seems to lead a more exciting life than Richard Branson and Jay-Z combined? You know, that guy who posts pictures of himself? in Thailand one day and backstage with Guns ?N Roses the next? These type of guys make you start questioning whether or

American Macho

Ever seen ?American Psycho?? If not, download it right now and quit being so cinematically clueless. If so, do you consider Patrick Bateman a role model? Disregarding the whole storing corpses in your closet thing, do you subscribe to some made-up alpha-male standard? There?s nothing wrong with having a killer job, sleeping with attractive women

Build Confidence One Skill at a Time

I?ve been on a ?Jeopardy!? kick lately. I don?t know if it?s because I?m getting older or that I find Alek Trebek?s voice subconsciously soothing, but I?m pseudo-obsessed. A few nights ago I was tuning in with a teenage cousin. ?How do you know all of this stuff?? she asked after I correctly answered several

Unleash Your Inner David Lee Roth

Axl Rose is an asshole. But, you know what? He?s confident as hell (and a member of one of the best bands ever). The rock & roll world is full of obnoxious idiots who just so happen to be charismatic frontmen. Steven Tyler strikes me as a douchebag, but he sure knows how to command

Curb Your Self-Deprecation

What do I think of the HBO comedy ?Curb Your Enthusiasm?? In the words of writer/star Larry David, it?s ?pretty, pretty, pretty … pretty good.? I?ve been watching tons of this show lately. If you haven?t seen it, ?Curb Your Enthusiasm? is like a no-holds-barred ?Seinfeld,? (another show which David actually co-created.) Larry David the

Make Success a Possibility

I should really start a column titled ?Stuff Inspired by Magazines Found in My Girlfriend?s Apartment,? because I?d like to start this week?s Inner Game article with a reference to an interview Michelle Obama recently did for More magazine. I won?t delve into the details, but the basic gist of the interview was this: knowing

Don’t Let Work Turn You Into an Axe-Wielding Maniac

Do you ever find yourself talking to ghosts or hacking through doors with a fire axe? If so, it?s time you took a break from work and threw a ball around, watched an episode of ?The Office,? played with your old Ninja Turtle figures, whatever. I?m referring to the character of Jack Torrance from ?The

Defy Your Introversion/Extroversion

Muhammad Ali. Steve Jobs. Bill Clinton. Despite making massive achievements in different fields, these three men actually have something quite big in common (and it?s not a blindingly fast jab or sweet saxophone skills). They?re all extroverts. Now, take a look at guys like Bill Gates, Joe DiMaggio and Warren Buffett. While they too also

Mad Men’s Don Draper: Grace Under Fire

I love ?Mad Men.? I?ve only watched a little more than a season on Netflix, but I?d already say it?s one of my favorite TV shows ever. Not only does it pique my curiosity from an advertising point-of-view (when I?m not penning articles for the great TSB, I work as a copywriter), but it?s witty,
