It is called Idea Paint.

It’s one of those things that I don’t need per say, but I really want it.

It is paint that makes any surface a whiteboard (that guy is writing on a wall).

Seriously, when my wife and I get our first house, I want my Create Space (aka home office) to have this on every wall. I really wanted to add it to my current Create Space (which is currently forthcoming) but since it is an apartment, we are not allowed to paint the walls.

Actually, if I could have it my way, the kitchen walls and bathroom walls would have it too!

The catch: this stuff is expensive. Like, the professional grade is $100+ a bucket.

But imagine how creative and productive you could be if ever wall had a writable and reusable surface. I know it would help me!

By the way, I am not getting paid or sponsored to write this (although that would be awesome). If everyone passes around this link, I wonder if I am seven degrees separated from someone who works at Idea Paint. Hmmm…

15. It will open up doors to practice tact, because people will call you baldie, lex, and cue ball.

14. To save money on hair gels, pomades, and waxes.

The more margin, the better.

Yet, despite how simple this is, my schedule (work and personal) barely reflects it.

And this concept does not just apply to schedules and workload, but also to finances (but that is a another story).

I recently spoke on this issues to a group of students and explained it like this…

Do you remember growing up and squeezing into the family car for a road trip?

I do, in fact, I can remember it like it was yesterday. My family piled into a 90s Isuzu Trooper that comfortably seated four (of course, there were five of us). (more…)

Negotiation is a part of business. Whether you are hiring a team, agreeing to terms with a client, or ironing out a deal with a vendor – negotiation sets the tone for the relationship.

Of course, you want a good deal. Everyone does.
