What IS this place?

Think of it as a grocery store. And this blog? An empty aisle.

But the tasty stuff is coming. I'll be stocking the shelves one interesting morsel at a time. I'm going to go out there and find people.

Tough, I know.

Then I'm going to do what no one...at least on this site...has done before. I'm going to find out what makes them good. No, strike that. What makes them GREAT. Why they do what they do, how they do it, what success means, what can bring success to others, and what that means in our great big world of life.

For too long, we've stopped applauding talent. Real talent. Not the talent of a movie star to have seriously flawless skin or of an NFL quarterback to have seriously flawed morals - or switch those roles - but of people who actually make the world work.

The mechanics and electricians and accountants and construction crews and cleaning crews and checkout people and convenience store clerks and personal trainers and paper bag makers. Everyone! The people who keep our earth rotating. The ones who make our world...easier. When all evil breaks loose in my pipes, I have no interest in being entertained or watching sports or hearing Lady Gaga tell me to "Just Dance".

I want a plumber. And no one else can fill that desperate void.

So this site is to them. All the businesses who provide what I need and the people who create those businesses. This is about the true grit of commerce. About finding the flair where the flare is burning.

If you think business is boring, wait until I'm finished with it.
