I was told (by someone I have the utmost respect for) to forget about developing Robotic Marketer. This is theworld's first robotic and AI-based technology that develops marketing strategies in minutes, not months. I thought about it for a nanosecond.

Last night I slept for roughly two hours. I laid in bed for hours and hours tossing and turning, thinking about a whole heap of things.

New York, New York... if only you didn't excite me so much! After 20 years or so traveling to New York often throughout the year, I am without a doubt the most excited person that has ever landed.

Do you own your own business? Getting a business up and running is a lot of work to do on your own. All entrepreneurs tend to have the same kind of ambitious characteristics. They are driven, goal oriented, self starters and risk takers. But between building your product and getting it out to the public, how do you know when it’s time to begin asking for help?

Back in 2011, the Georgia Legislature started an initiative that would encourage the growth of small and medium businesses through crowdfunding investments. The new rule change, which is was officially in effect since last month, will allow for SMB’s to get around the previous restrictions of crowdfunding in the state.
