The lesson is this… you have to live your business.

Jake Burton, the Father of snowboarding, rides 100 days per year. He wears Burton coat, pants, boots, hat, and gloves, and of course rides a Burton snowboard.

Crocs (the shoe) CEO, Ron Snyder wears Crocs 24/7. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wore them to bed. No matter if he’s wearing a suit, shorts and a t-shirt, or his pajamas, you never see him without his Crocs.

Come to think of it, have you ever seen Phil Knight without Nike shoes on?

These people make a very big statement. No matter where they are, or what is happening, their product is #1. If its a suit and tie event, Mr. Snyder wearing Crocs makes a statement that THIS is the shoe I wear no matter what. Jake Burton riding his own board makes a statement that there is nothing better.

Anything less would be wrong.

No matter what it is you do, a Dentist, A Graphic Designer, An advertiser, or a fast food franchisee… you have to live your business. Self promote like there is no tomorrow, and use and promote your own product as much as possible. This is the only way it can be if you truly want to be successful.

I’ll leave you with this: Promote yourself and your product as much as possible, because if people don’t like it, they don’t have to listen…

…If you don’t promote yourself, you don’t give them a choice.

Tonight, Paris Hilton is on Letterman, and she was asked about her clothing line. Dave asked her if the dress she was wearing was from her clothing line. She said no.

The only reason people wear Paris’ clothes is because they want to be like her. If she doesn’t wear them, why would anyone else want to?

But what really pisses me off…the other day, I am going to the ATM to deposit a paycheck. I head towards a 2 ATM setup, with a woman at one ATM and her smoking WT friend standing in front of the other smoking a fag.

The WT woman proceeds to stand in front of the ATM until she finishes her cigarette, then proceeds to throw the butt on the ground and step on it.

Be aware, at any ATM you are no further than 2 steps away from a trash can, and this case was no exception.

I couldn’t help myself. As I stepped up to the ATM, I turned to the woman and said “You know there is a trash can right there…”

She replied “Yeah?”

I said “You know, for your cigarette.”

Then she finally got it, and reluctantly picked up her butt and tossed it in the trash.

My point is, smoke if you want, but don’t spread your trash around like you’re at home. Keep the WT lifestyle to yourself. In any city, you can walk no more than 20 feet and find a cigarette butt on the ground. This is pathetic… I don’t go around eating twinkies and throwing the wrappers on the ground. I know we have laws for littering around here.

My pledge to this earth: I will say something to every smoker I see throwing a cigarette on the ground.

Did we ever use the @ key? (Shift 2 for you old timers)

Now we use it daily. @@@@@@@@@@@@@

The great keyboard wizards could have located it in a better spot.

Just like Christmas decorations popping up just after Halloween, it seems now that it is never to early to start your campaign for president.

As of now, I think there are officially 237 people running for president. Ok, maybe that is an exageration, but by watching the news, you would think that the entire state of North Dakota had thrown it’s hat in the presidential race ring.

Then we have to deal with these “clever” news stations and their gimicky names for the voting process. My all time favorite…The Race For The White House.

I’ve got a better idea. Instead of voting, let’s create a reality show. Make it a cross between American Idol and Survivor. Put all the candidates on one island, and America votes (by phone, web, or text message) to remove one participant a week.

In the game, there could be no “mud slinging” in the political sense, only actual mud-slinging. Crazy contests, mixed with intelectual debates, the ultimate in “reality.”

Who wouldn’t love to See Barack Obama and John McCain in a pie eating contest. Or see Hillary Clinton and Al Gore team up in a three legged race. Not only would we find the most cunning, athletic, smart, and deceptive president, but we could also make a few bucks in the process.

Think of the sponsor dollars. I’d call it the Visa Check Card Race for the White House presented by Mountain Dew. We’d have corporate money to support our quest for world domination, and we’d have the largest voter turnout ever in an election, especially from the 18-34 crowd.

I think it could work, it would show incredible dedication, heart, stamina, and really give us a President who has proved him/herself in order to live in the White House.

Hold on, I need to send this proposal to FOX. Now I just need a host.
