“They don’t care if you’re good – they care if people come.” That’s how my friend Judson described the business of booking college comedy tours. It’s not about aptitude – it’s about attendance. It’s not about information – it’s about expectation. It’s not about getting laughs – it’s about filling seats. It’s not about the ability to perform – it’s about the capability to draw a crowd. THE BEST…

Although I started wearing a nametag in 2000, it wasn’t until 2005 that I officially got the nametag tattooed on my chest. Interestingly, that was also the same year my company started making money. Huh. Weird. I guess that’s what happens when you commit with both feet: The world doesn’t just pay attention – it pays dividends. And not just financially.

The Seven Dwarfs never had to deal with a recession. They suggested you whistle while you work. Which is a great philosophy, unless you’re not working. Then what? SHORT ANSWER: Hustle while you wait. That’s what Edison preached and, more importantly, practiced. A thousand patents later, his disciplined work ethic paid off and paid well.

Yes, it requires great emotional restraint. Yes, it requires significant self-control. But if you don’t let people come to their own conclusions, make their own decisions and make their own mistakes, you fractionize their experiences and…

You can’t beat self-employment. Working from home. Working in your pajamas. Working your own schedule. Working the way you want to. No commute. No office politics. No pointless meetings.
