Embrace the Shake

That title sums up much of what I have to say for today.

It sums up much of what I truly live and breathe every single second of my life. This is a perspective that will help anyone reap great rewards in the workplace, and as you can see, in life.

I’m in the process of making some big career decisions and this has been a good reminder and emphasis of my personal values. I hope you enjoy it too.

New Design – Why?

LIL Post on Redesign

Don’t be alarmed with the new design.

I just changed my WordPress theme. I simply wanted a site with a visual appearance that didn’t emphasize any particular brands.

My View: This article makes subjective arguments that could simply be what Mike Ghaffary wants. In my view, the consideration for the power of technology could change the answer to this constant question in retail. If the right relational models are developed for technology to translate the current reality, I think it is highly possible to see a greater attrition in brick and mortar stores.

I also think this move will occur faster in the highest end of the luxury segment, where brand equity with consumers may not require them to go through the the prevalent thought processes (price comparisons, show rooming, etc) associated with buying other commoditized goods and services.
