I really have been milking these videos for way too long, but the reality is that I have been super busy lately with it being indoor tanning season as well as season for our limousine business. Since I want to keep things short today I will get down to the video instead of rambling on about what I have been busy doing lately, I will save that stuff for another update.
Anyway, enjoy “A Day in the Life of Extreme John Episode 7“.

I really haven’t decided if I like numbered list posts or if I am just totally getting sick of them, when I first think of doing a list post my first thought is that it will be a really quick and simple post to knock out. The more I write list posts the more I am starting to think that my thought process is a little skewed, I think they take longer in most cases and they demand a lot of extra work.
One of the things I enjoyed doing most while I was employed with Home Depot was training new managers and watching new managers grow through the training they received, regardless if it were team building skills or people skills. One of the things I learned even as I grew in my positions with Home Depot was just how important it is to gain the respect of your associates if you want them to perform for you.

I can’t really remember ever posting my “goals” here on my blog any other time in the past and I can’t really imagine why I asked Dawn to make the graphic for this post. Those of you that don’t subscribe to my rss feed or connect with me via my Facebook Fan Page probably have no idea who “Dawn” is, Dawn does the graphics around this place and certainly helps each post look a little less painful. haha.
There’s really no sense in pretending that I am going to come with anything really ground breaking or any business tips or blogging tips that you haven’t already heard. Goals are important to reaching any kind of success, having obtainable and consistent goals is an entirely different story and in my opinion can bring even greater levels of success when done right.

Those of you that stop by my blog on a daily basis or subscribe to my rss feed for instant updates of my daily ramblings know that I am one of those weird blogging CEOS. In addition to keeping this blog updated with fresh small business tips, business blogging tips, social networking and blogging tips I also am the founder of Extreme Tan and Smoothies and Insane Limos. Extreme Tan and Smoothies is a chain of six indoor tanning salons and Insane Limos is a limousine business featuring exotic SUV limos that are truly wild InSaNe.
Earlier today we launched our Ambush Interview Customer Feedback Project for Extreme Tan and Smoothies, a video series dedicated to catching customers off guard and getting real feedback about their tanning experience. Every once and a while I will share a few of the projects that I am working on within our small business as a way to help other new small business owners.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and had a chance to do all of those fun, exciting, life rewarding things that most of us dream of doing upon each weekends arrival. It’s around 9pm on Sunday night as I put this post together for the sixth episode of “A Day in the Life of Extreme John“, a series I did due to your comments and suggestions here on my blog.
Chances are this post is going to be pretty short since most of you either got here by accident or came here to see the video, not to mention I am in the middle of watching The Cleveland Show. Rolo’s hair always cracks me up for some reason.

I don’t care if your one of those overnight fans or a die-hard hockey fan if you watched the Gold Medal game between Team USA vs Team Canada you couldn’t help but sit on the edge of your seat. Team USA got off to a slow start and Canada capitalized taking a 2-0 lead over Team USA early in the game, if you wanted to see the United States come out and take the lead early you were tortured until Team USA finally scored to make it 2-1.
As the final seconds ticked away in the third period and Miller was pulled from net for the extra man advantage I couldn’t help but think that I just wanted to see Team USA pull it off, with every second it seemed less likely. Every second of the final game of the Men’s Olympic Hockey Gold Medal game ticked away it hurt, then with only :24 seconds left in the third period Team USA scored to tie the game and send it in to overtime.

Each week I try to post a few links to excellent blogging tips, business tips and information on social media sites that I came across during the week. I do this for a few reasons one of which is to share blogging information with newbie bloggers or business bloggers that are looking to create a greater online presence for their business.
When I first started this series I called it the Sunday Smash, which is basically my version of a mashup for the week and it gives me a chance to spread some Do Follow link luv on to other blogs that I read, in some cases those bloggers are nice enough to shoot me a few backlinks in return. I actively read over 500 blog posts over the course of the week on everything from business tips, SEO tips, blogging tips and of course some excellent blogs on mixed martial arts.
If you have your own blog on business tips, blogging tips, SEO tips, Wordpress info, plugins, social media or just about anything else, take a second to leave a comment and I’ll check your blog out, this is a U Comment I Follow Blog.

As many of you know I recently picked myself up one of those heavily advertised Motorola Droid smart phones from the local Verizon peeps, with all of the crazy apps out there it didn’t take me long to write “15 of My First Motorola Droid Apps” and a quick Motorola Droid review. One of the best things about having a blog with no real niche is that I get to write about whatever I want, now don’t get me wrong this hardly means that I am any kind of authority on these things and I’m definitely no guru on apps for Droid phones either.
Being a multiple small business owner and having a complete addiction to social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook I am constantly looking for the best Twitter apps for Droid or that perfect Facebook app that might offer more options geared towards small business power users like myself. Like many other Motorola Android owners I instantly headed to the App Market to find a few applications that might make tweeting, sending tweets and picture tweets simple while I am on the go. Here’s a quick list of what I felt were the 3 best Twitter apps for Droid.
