With the internet creating new millionaires and even billionaires every single day, everyone with an idea thinks they are now an “entrepreneur”. However, there...

I'm not sure how it crept up on me so quickly, but I turned forty-nine years old yesterday.

It seems like just yesterday I was graduating from college.

I've watched my kids grow to become young adults before my eyes. I've been in the internet business eighteen years. Time truly does fly.

As I look back on the day, I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful family, friends and associates in

my life. Emails, skype chats, Facebook posts, LinkedIn messages, phone calls, unexpected gifts and even a recorded video of a friend singing Happy Birthday to me.

With my 50th birthday coming up next Cinqo de Mayo, it's been said that I am entering my "last good year."

Is forty-nine destined to be my last good year? It may be.

By now you may be wondering if I have completely lost my mind.

I did. But I found it.

The question is... have I lost it again?

You might be saying, "Joel, clearly you aren't ten years old." (Though my maturity level may occasionally bring this assertion into question.)

You also might be saying, "Joel, you just wrote the other day that you turned forty-nine... that

's a long way from ten!"

And then you might say, "What's the deal, bub?"

Those are all good questions. And I've got a really good answer...

Being an entrepreneur, you probably get to experience a lot more than your average person. Many of which include… creating and building your own business,...

To my knowledge, I am the only Joel Comm in the entire world. Go ahead, Google me. You'll be hard-pressed to find another.

But a name is just a name. Even if you share your name with another person, or thousands of others (sorry Bob Smith), there is still just one YOU!

Surely you know that you have never been here before and there will never be another you.

So what does that mean in the big scheme of things?

As online marketers, we can truly appreciate the value of great ad copy and landing pages that convert. With more people entering the world of...

Shortly after I graduated from college, I learned about direct sales. Whether visiting elderly or infirm hoping to provide them with an at-home emergency response system or calling on families and individuals interested in owning their own set of Encyclopedia Britannica, I honed my people and sales skills the only way I knew how.

Along the way, I learned a key in making more sales.

No matter

how strong your presentation or how persuasive your skills, you still have to ASK for the sale. If you don't ask, you don't get.

As it would turn out, the concept of "asking" is something that I have applied to many areas of my life. In fact, as I parented my two children, again and again I drove this one point home...

"It never hurts to ask."

In the world of business, your brand name is everything. Just look at famous name brands and logos like McDonalds, Starbucks, Home Depot and others…...

In 2006, Twitter prompted its users to tweet by answering a simple question.

"What are you doing?"

My initial impression thought was "It's none of your business!"

My second thought was "I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing."

Intimidated by the blatant invasive nature of the question, I realized "I have no idea what I'm doing."

My earliest tweets reflected

this utter cluelessness.

But things have changed since that time.
