If I could recommend only three books…
On the webinar, one of the questions was “what books would you recommend?” Of course, there are so many good books out there, but if I could only recommend three to my readers here, they’d be (in no particular order): The 4-Hour Workweek This book can help shake up your persepective on work! You’re programmed…

Big Aaron Update: Overload, “Bursting”, Create a Profitable Business in 4 Hours, and more
Overdoing enjoyment You know when you’re so busy that you lose track of time and days? And not in a good way, but in a mentally overloaded way? Because that’s how my head’s been the past several days/week, because my main businesses and projects (PebbleStorm, CEOFlow, DataSalad, ColdCalling2.com and Nitro.la) are all gelling right now,…
Using the Economic Trouble to Your Advantage
Below is an article I wrote for Christopher Lowman’s Moving Towards Peace newsletter, on why I think the current mess will be healthy for us all in the long run – even if it’s incredible painful in the short run. ———————- Americans are dealing with the worst financial and economic trouble in decades–and, unfortunately, it’s…
[CEOFlow] New CEOFlow sketch: “Revenue, Space & Enjoyment”
As I wrote about in My original notes on frustrations with the way work, uh, works, PebbleStorm: CEOFlow is like “advanced PebbleStorm”. I’ve been playing with my CEOFlow circles for awhile, and finally this morning they really clicked: That’s actually the whole post, but if you want to see the original, it’s here Subscribe to…
My original notes on frustrations with the way work, uh, works
I’ve almost always been frustrated with our traditional expectations of how work and corporate jobs should function (even when I was the CEO of my own company). Back in the summer of 2006 I wrote down some different thoughts around my frustrations. These trains of thought helped crystallize PebbleStorm (“make money through enjoyment”) and PebbleStorm:…
Fun with “word clouds”
Wordle.net is a fun site that can take a bunch of text or your blog, and create a beautiful word cloud. Here’s one it created from PebbleStorm. It’s no accident that “Unique” & “Genius” are the biggest words! [UPDATE] Here’s a word cloud as of March 2011, about two years later: And for more fun,…

A blog worth reading: “Illuminated Mind”
People either tend to love the way I think or they look at my like I’m an alien – “Make money through enjoyment? That does not compute; it is illogical; that is not how the world works;…yadda yadda yadda…” And yes, PebbleStorm’s not the standard way of thinking about work …yet 🙂 But – you…
The Intersection of Meaning, Money & Enjoyment
Do you ever have so much to say or share, it paralyzes you? Sometimes that’s how I feel with everything I have to share with PebbleStorm. Ironically, the longer the time periods between blog posts, it probably means I have more than ever to share with people. Even I have to take my own advice,…
