Don't you hate when you finally get the news that you had a "great product" but "we decided to go another direction"? I got that message today. We came in the top 2 out of a half dozen vendors. I guess I should feel okay but it still shows up as a loss in my...
Wanna take the bus?
His name was Diop and this was his sales pitch to the volumes of pedestrians crossing his path at the corner of 49th and Broadway in Times Square. I stood and chatted with Diop while I was drinking my morning coffee and observed his approach along with the great...
Keep educating yourself
I am quite certain that I have learned a lot more since I have left school, both degrees...Education doesn't stop. This is long but worth the 90 minutes if you have it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HHjgK6p4nrw Brick
Common sense
Follow your gut, go with your instincts, trust your judgement... Use Common Sense! Unfortunately, common sense is not so common. We are blessed with these spectacular computers, attached to our shoulders, that have the capacity to store and synthesize...

More on Tempus Fugit
I recently discovered that I spent about 2 months with someone only to discover they were not absolute in their conviction to move forward. Now, maybe something changed, but most likely I was another victim of "deal heat" and missed the signals that I wasn't working...
My daughter turns 12 today, wow!

You never know where the road will lead to…
I think we all want to control our environment, some more than others, but we all have that desire. The reality is, however, that we have little control and we many times end up somewhere very different from the intended course. This is true in business and our...
What do you want?
I asked someone this question the other day and there was some silence...and then a thoughtful response. I think this question digs deep down into the essence of everyone because it can't be answered without some real thought. Interestingly enough, last week's Sunday...
Putting on my big boy pants…
I figured it was about time I had my own domain so here we go! Goodbye wordpress.com and hello www.jebrickman.com! Don't worry, aside from the domain name, nothing else will change. I will have a lot more flexibility now to really leverage the power of the web and...
