(This post was originally published on Venture Beat. This photo is by Melissa.). Brazen Careerist is my third startup. People ask me all the time why I gave up my position as CEO. If you knew what startup life was really like, you would ask me why I was CEO for as long as I was. When I started building the brand of Brazen Careerist around the year 2000, I talked about ideas like job hopping as a way to build a solid career, and I warned that generation Y’s entry into the workforce would be a tot
Recently, a study revealed that knowing the ending of a book makes it more enjoyable to read. Sounds a little surprising, right? The researchers, Nicholas Christenfeld, a University of California, San Diego professor, and Jonathan Leavitt, a PhD candidate at UC San Diego studying psychology, tested readers to determine if “spoilers” really spoiled anything.
Photo by Andrew Magill When Charles Schwab became President of Bethlehem Steel in 1903, he made an unusual offer to his consultant, Ivy Lee: Show my staff and me a way to get more done in less time and I’ll pay you any fee within reason. Without batting an eyelid, Lee offered to give Schwab […]. The post The $100 Million Productivity Tip appeared first on Mark McGuinness | Creative Coach.

Do you really know your donors? Not just what they give, but who they are? 👥 In this interactive session, we’ll break down how nonprofits can use behavioral indicators (affinity, recency, frequency, and monetary value) to build prospecting segments that go beyond wealth screening and actually align with donor identity. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to move beyond basic demographics and cultivate supporters based on how they already engage with you!
This is probably what you think self-employed looks like: I'm at an amusement park with my kids, in the middle of the week, and I'm on a conference call while I watch my son try to get on a ride. Being self-employed looks so nice at an amusement park. The self-employed are always free to go on a vacation. They pick up their friends at the airport in the middle of the day, they show up for poker night because they can stay out late, and they can plan their wedding without having to pret
The best way to understand earning power—no matter what your age—is to understand the factors that go into it. For example, most people who have careers that are plateauing usually have a learning problem that manifests itself as an earning problem. And for parents, schooling discussions are really earning discussions. Because you can say that kids with a love of learning are lifelong learners ( essential for workplace success today ), but truly, who wants an unemployed Ph.D candidat
The farmer is separating his farm from his parent's farm. To say this has been a summer full of drama would be a total understatement. I would say that the drama has gone from his larger family , to our little family , and now, to the economics of the farm. This is probably where the drama should be: The Farmer is essentially starting a new business.

When I had my second son, I had a nervous breakdown. I’m not sure exactly what the cause was. But things were bad. I had a three-year-old with autism, a baby with a facial deformity that required a team of ten different types of doctors, and no family helping me, and I didn’t take maternity leave. This is what happened: I put a knife in my head. It’s a weird thing about the knife.
We have a huge vegetable garden. While the Farmer was planting huge crops of corn and hay, I was planting twenty types of vegetables. I have not bought vegetables from the store since May, when the first lettuce was ripe. This is a picture of me digging through our forty tomato plants. When I was putting them in the ground, I never dreamed that forty would really grow.
Last week was a board meeting for my company, Brazen Careerist. I used to hate the board meetings because there is so much to prepare beforehand, and if everything is not going great, then you have to really face that. 1. Hide your feelings if they are going to be trouble for someone. I am still a major shareholder in my company, but I do not work at the company day to day.
On September 4, 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Retail Worker Safety Act (S. 8358B/A. 8947C) into law, requiring retail employers in New York to adopt workplace violence prevention policies and implement training programs by March 2025. This webinar will provide a detailed overview of the Act’s requirements, including developing and providing a retail workplace violence prevention policy/plan and delivering annual interactive training to employees.
If you earn your living as a creative professional, you’ll be familiar with what Todd Henry of Accidental Creative describes as “the pressure to be brilliant at a moment’s notice” While we can all do this from time to time, the key to success in a creative career is the ability to do it again […].

Creativity is exciting, but it’s also scary. Whenever you set out to do something new, you never know how it’s going to turn out – you can’t predict it, plan it, or control it. Creativity is inherently uncertain. We all know this, but most of the time we don’t talk about uncertainty. We try to […].

Photo by Szilveszter Farkas Once upon a time, I was frustrated on a daily basis by my computer. It kept crashing, refusing to connect to the internet, and interrupting me with asinine pop-up messages. It lost me hours of productivity every week. I rang the computer supplier. They blamed the parts supplier. I rang the […]. The post Just Work appeared first on Mark McGuinness | Creative Coach.

Sometimes people ask me how I get ideas for blog posts. Really, the question is how do I find enough time to let everyone know about everything that bugs me? For example, here are photos I’ve been holding onto for a while. It’s a series of the dumbest engagement photos ever. But wait. Before you click I’m going to tell you that they are actually someone’s real engagement photos.
