Barriers to entry.

Well, another week has come and gone. I guess finding more time to post was slightly harder than I had imagined. Between working at the bank and the bar my time is already tied up enough. At least things seem to be moving in a more positive direction lately.

Street Meat oh Street Meat...... The city of Saginaw is not a well oiled machine. I'll leave it at that for now.

Developments at Green Life have been productive. Trying to hammer down the exact date for the business owners workshop on social media marketing. This class will be a great tool for business owners looking for  new and more efficient ways to advertise. I am excited that I can help these people with something that they are truly invested in. I have also accumulated some promo items and coupons from local businesses to give to anyone attending this workshop. Hope to see you there! If you need more information, please email timothybeadle@greenlifemarketing. biz

The AIDS walk was a great success this weekend! Raised nearly $50,000 for the cause. It was great to see ll the community and local businesses backing it. There still are good hearted people out there, and that is a very relieving fact.

Help out & have fun!

It's technically Thursday in my odd work schedule. Having weekday weekends is probably one of the nicer things that my schedule allows. I can still get quite a bit accomplished seeing as how everything is open! This week should bring a decision on how to move forward with Street Meat. I am anxious to get this off the ground, but politics are not my forte.

AIDS walk is next weekened! Looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down for The Mixx Nightclub's booth. It is an early event, but it is always a nice event to work. Also, there is a family skate night @Gilli's Skating & Fun Center next sunday to raise money to replace the roof on the historic Potter Street Station. Lots of ways to donate and volunteer to make a difference.

Still waiting to to hear from @Barry Biffel of Spirit Airlines on the marketing ideas I have. It was a long shot, but it's better to take risks for yourself than to watch your competitors do it.

Building my empire.

Back from Hiatus!

This past few days/ weeks have been quite crazy for me. New business ventures are in the works, existing ventures are gaining some ground, and work is well work..... 

Green Life has seen a HUGE increase in Facebook activity since creating a social media strategy plan. LinkedIn has turned to be quite the player in this. In addition to seeing the number of "Likes" increase exponentially, Green Life now has international supporters. I am still debating hosting a marketing seminar for new business owners, I have had great response from business willing to submit promo materials, but not a lot of confidence in the attendance rates. 

Street Meat LLC. Look for it soon. Hamilton St. will never be the same. 

I will try and post on a more scheduled basis from now on, but my life does not always allow for this.

No rest for the best.


Quick Response Code. Scan it, check out the site, and leave some feedback! Enjoy your labor day, I know I will be getting some work done today. Everyday is a workday, just depends on what you call work.

Diamond in the dirt.



This is just one of many large bowls of food I have harvested from my personal garden. I started this endevour to prove that no matter how busy you are, you can eat a healthy non genetically mutated diet. I work two jobs, own a company, have an active social life, and still manage to make physical fitness a staple in my life.

The food I have harvested is the vibrant, colorful, and tasty food I have eaten in a while. I think the satisfaction of planting, weeding, and harvesting makes it all the better too. I highly recommend anyone who can, try growing a small garden. It cost me $35 and about an hour of work every week. I have already harvested brocoli, peas, string beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, green peppers, lettuce, and corn. Truly an investment that paid off!
