When we built the Sinus Buster brand, we had no choice but to market it with as little cash as possible. We were a tiny start-up that launched with $350 at my kitchen table, and all our competitors were multi-national pharmaceutical giants with cash to burn. So we had to be smart and thrifty when it came to marketing, and YouTube proved to be an important venue for us to brand our products as if we had millions to spend.

Have you ever been frustrated at work because the suits upstairs shoot down every good idea you have? What am I stupid? Of course you have. No matter what business you’re in there’s always some asshole at the top plugging up the pipeline....and all it takes is one misguided corporate robot to bind up the progress of an entire company. I call it corporate constipation. You have a bunch of food going in and barely a rabbit sized piece of poop coming out. There’s a reason for this and it ain’t easily fixable. 

Within a couple weeks, I'll be launching some very innovative smart phone applications for the IPhone and Blackberry platforms. After lots of research and thinking outside the box, I designed three new phone apps that are sure to rock the world of smart phone technology.

I've been hearing from lots of people concerning the launch of my new book. I know I've been promising to launch since February, but it's taking a bit longer than expected as my entrepreneurial ventures continue to expand. I'm juggling numerous projects right now and polishing the final edit of the book at the same time. As my businesses grow so to does the scope of my book and so I am adding new lessons all the time.

While some AIG employees have agreed to give back their now infamous bonuses, a small group of employees has joined together in a legal battle to keep their illgotten gains. Last week, the group hired an attorney to help keep their bonuses even though the company and the government are working out deals to return the money. The group is using the same argument AIG used from the start – the bonuses are guaranteed under contract.
 

AIG’s main argument has always been that the company is obligated under contract to deliver the bonuses, and so they have no choice but to pay. Yet as the AIG saga continues, new evidence has surfaced showing the company has not always stood by their bonus contracts the way they claim to.
 

President Obama held a prime time press conference last night, opening himself up to a bunch of tough questions. Overall, the president gave smart thoughtful answers to every reporter until he was tossed a curve ball.
 
Ed Henry of CNN asked the President why he didn't voice outrage the moment he learned about the infamous AIG bonuses. Mr. Henry asked, "Why did you wait several days before speaking out when you first learned about the AIG bonuses?" The president was obviously angry and somewhat embarrassed, firing back back with, "Because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak". 
 

The AIG bonus scandal has forced our government to quell the outrage of American taxpayers by finding a way to get the money back while keeping this sort of thing from happening again. Out of desperation, Congress came up with a bill to tax these bail out bonuses at an unprecedented 90% rate. The bill easily passed because of public sentiment, but there’s a few obvious catches. 
 

So while the incompetent scumbags running big companies like AIG get all the tax breaks and big bonuses, the true innovators of business end up paying the biggest share of government giveaways. I found out today that I owe nearly 50% of the money I made off my last business, Sinus Buster. I sold the business in 2008 after shedding my blood, sweat and tears for five years to make it into something worth buying by another larger company. Along the way I created more than a dozen jobs with benefits, and God only knows how many tax dollars. Now I'm giving nearly half away. I'm done with friggin government my friends, and I should refuse to pay based on the fact that our government is handing billions to greedy corporations run by a bunch of incompetent corporate robots.
 

Thanks to my noteriety from the success of Sinus Buster, I'm constantly being approached by young aspiring entrepreneurs working on the next big thing. Even in these tough economic times, I'm seeing more entrepreneurial spirit than ever.
 

It turns out AIG gave $1 Million plus bonuses to more than 70 upper management employees while they were getting the first installment of billions in Bail Out bucks from us taxpayers.
