When Ideas Are Able To Breathe
In the books on blogging they teach you never to apologize if you haven't written for a while. But gosh it's been an awfully long time. I've been writing though. Just not here. Because as I may have shared before, Quixoting was an enabler. A counselor. And a type of therapy. When I started Qu...

Hi and thanks to you both. I found my passion by acting on a few things that I thought were them. That was the only way for me . . .

Hi Billie - What a fun approach! Three simple questions is a great format to help people down this important path. And I love the idea of setting "ridiculously high standards". Now you've got me thinking . . . Look forward to our call tomorrow!

Job Seekers, Your Competition: 'Got Nothin' on You'
A couple of weeks ago over on Career Success Radio, I listened to a great interview with Tim Tyrell-Smith, Keith Keller and Annemarie Cross. One of the topics discussed was music and your job search. A few days later on my way to work, I heard a song called 'Nothin' on You' -- a song title that ...

Slices instead of value meals?
So I was driving around at around 2:00 PM one day last week. I had missed lunch and was casually looking for something to eat. I needed something quick and wanted something light, relatively healthy and satisfying. You know, avoid spoiling my dinner. Does that sound unreasonable you? After a fe...
Yep - I killed it. Will update the post to reflect. The idea failed miserably! :-)

Using Twitter To Launch And Test A New Idea
The day I started acting on my ideas was one of my best ever. All those years (20) of sitting on them was starting to build up as a bad headache. So, on September 1 2008, I decided to start writing two blogs. Quixoting™ and Tim's Strategy™ And since then I have been looking for ways to share a...
Yes, it feels good to live with more authenticity . . . agree!

Honor yourself
Marsha Sinetar's 1987 book titled "Do what you love, the money will follow" has been an inspiration for me. And, in some ways, I think it helped to create the concept of Quixoting™. You see, Quixoting is synonymous with taking action. If you have ever wondered how you got to this point i...
Thanks Lani - Always liked this idea better than a physical punishment like a spanking or a timeout. Would love to see someone bring it or a similar idea to life!

Another website idea - kids beware!
If you have small children, please cover their eyes or quickly escort them out of the room. I cannot be responsible for what action they may take upon reading this post. I'm not talking fire and brimstone, but it won't be pretty. You see, this idea is a tool for parents to educate their k...
Sometimes it is hard justify holding on to url's - some think they will sell them some day if they don't use them.
If the idea is a good one and have real plans to keep it, keep paying. But if not, at some point, you'll have to give it up as fantasy not reality and let someone else run with it!

First you had me, then you lost me - the idea I let go
One of the things I would love to be able to do is draw. I have tried, believe me. I bought the special pencils and the correct paper. Those fancy erasers are pretty cool, too. I even bought a book on learning to draw cartoons. You see, I have a number of creative dreams. And my longtime str...

9 Ways To Bruise A Networking Relationship
In a recent post, I shared 11 Keys To Successful Job Search Networking. You see, someone in my network knocked my socks off and, as a result, has me looking for extra ways to help. So, as you might expect, there are those who have NOT knocked my socks off. In fact, their actions left me wanting...
Hi Christina - Concerning multiple career paths, you can certainly create a card for each. But, my own personal philosophy is that you focus your networking and your materials on one key path. Prevents confusion and gives people a real tangible and specific bit of direction if they'd like to help . . .
