Have you thought about a bike for the Summer?

Check out this great article from the OC Register last year in which we were one of the featured bike shops! http://www.ocregister.com/articles/bike-bikes-old-2108575-bicycle-beach What are you going to do to consume less gas and be more "green" / eco-friendly? Tuning up your bike or taking part in more rides is always a great idea. You can always stop in to just ask a question, pet the dogs or to say hi! Remember, test rides are always free (though buying a bike may involve a purchase)!

Build your own Damn Mousetrap!

After 30 years as a Corporate drone and nearly 13 as an entrepreneur, I sat down and ground out a thesis on how to overcome Childhood trauma, Addictions and Cancer to become a centered well-regarded business owner. 

The theme is self-discovery and takes you on my journey from high-school dropout, through the Cancer ward until we arrive complete with owning a successful retail shop and securing an MBA along the way.

It's up for publication now and you can get a preview by checking out a previous posting about 3M (chapter 13) under this same BLOG heading. The cool part for me is sharing some undeniable tips for those starting out on your own. In today's shrinking workforce-the timing may never be better.
