Friends... A quick correction... if you want to hear the most incredible recordings of the two day sensation known as the Northern California Blues Festival... and support two wonderful non-profit programs (Blues in the Schools and Through the Mind) at the same time... go to www.JasonHaxton.com/ncbf (the previous URL I supplied was incorrect. So, stop what you are doing and check out

To All My Music & Beer Loving Friends! I still can't believe that it has been three weeks since we completed the Northern California Blues Festival! For those of you who bared the heat, I am sure you would agree it was an incredible event and one for the record books. There is still time to complete our online survey to let us know what you thought and what you would like to see next year:

Well my friends...It is over... the 9th Annual Northern California Blues Festival is in the can. And if you missed it, I am sorry... it was an event that shall never be the same again.The biggest risk we took this year was turning a one day event into two days. And if you are not familiar with event planning... two days means a whole new host of variables that need to be tackled. Questions like..

It has been far too long since I last types words into this blog. Primarily because I have been so busy with my day job at TechEd, that I've neglected many of my other passions including QuickPlanner Plus.But today I had the opportunity to speak to an Intro to Business class at Sacramento City College.I opened up with the basic questions of who in this class wants to start their own company and I

How do you write your resolutions? If you are like most, you grab a journal or pad of paper and make a list of key accomplishments or dreams to achieve in the coming year.And, if you are like most, you forget most of them by the end of March, only to find the list in September and wonder why nothing got done.But there is a better way!How would you like to be able to create a New Years Resolution

Part of the creation of QuickPlanner Plus came from the frustration with business planning not meeting the needs of the entrepreneur but the needs of the bankers. Well, this quote from the Head of Commercial & Business Banking, Ulster Bank, John McGrane, said:The importance of entrepreneurs having a solid business plan cannot be underestimated. It must display a strategy for sustainable long-term

Over the years, while perfecting my personal method of strategic planning, the method that became QuickPlanner Plus, I observed several rules that, when followed, achieved a better sense of success for me and those who followed them. This information is excerpted from Bonus Report #1, which is available only to registered users QuickPlanner Plus. But, in a truncated nutshell, I am sharing the

I wanted to take a moment and recognize the man who inspired me to create QuickPlanner Plus - Timothy Ferriss. His book, The 4-Hour Work Week (4HWW) was an interesting and eye-opening read.Now, mind you, I am not the kind who is looking to live like the "new rich" and be able to travel the world and not worry about my companies, but I am intersted in creating automated income with online

Yes, this has nothing to do with QuickPlanner Plus, strategic planning or anything I am likely to write about here, or does it?About 30 minutes ago I decided to add a "¿Por qué no te callas?" t-shirt to NeighborHoodlems.com just to capitalize on the interest behind the King of Spain's recent remarks to Hugo Chavez.And, knowing that this is a quick money maker with short lifespan, I could either

Okay... I said it. Business plans Suck. Yes, not exactly an articulate expression of my views, but a concise one.But let me be more precise. Do you really need a business plan?
