Everyone Wants Something For Free – So Here’s Something That Won’t Cost You Anything

Posted on May 13, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

Wally had a magic glass. The glass he had was amazing. If the glass was in front of you at the bar, you were entitled to a free drink. That glass paid for hundreds if not thousands of drinks over the years. We would slide it between the group of us like we were playing…

Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are – A Great Talk

Posted on May 10, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

I’m trying to change the way I walk. I want to walk like that one girl I see at Walmart every night – picking up garbage. She has one of those claw stick things. Her boyfriend or husband or teammate (who knows) drives the vacuum truck around. 900 mph. She walks all over the parking…

Cuts Become Scabs And Scabs Become Scars – But Scars Are There Only To Remind You Of The Past

Posted on May 10, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

My feet are all cut up from seashells. Walking on the beach. I love it. The cuts don’t hurt. Rubbing my finger against them reminds me of where I was only hours earlier. It’s the good kind of cut. Wouldn’t it be great if all of life was that way. You get cut up but…

6 Things You Can Do That Lead To Open Doors and Opportunity

Posted on May 8, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

I would say that I am an optimist. I always think that the best is yet to come. But is it? Really? I ask because I know about a billion or more people who are struggling to just get by – and all of them are asking questions and wondering what’s going to happen to…

My Uncle Was A Good Man And Will Be Missed

Posted on May 7, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

I found out this week that my uncle died. He was the baby boy of the family on my dad’s side and was as gentle and kind a man as there ever was. It turns out the entire family on that side is sick or dying. One had a heart attack. Another had one too….

“It’s cheap, but that’s pretty good stuff.” There she was with a chain wrapped around her wrist so tight she couldn’t get it off. I didn’t know how she had gotten it there. One minute she’s trying on some necklace, and the next it’s wrapped around her wrist like prison chains. She was part of…

The Supreme Court Has Gone Rogue And Taken Over The Country – Now What?

Posted on May 6, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

I’ve wanted to start several TV shows or movies over the years. I always thought I had some good ideas when it came to them. Maybe that’s because I’ve been on TV a lot myself. Mostly the news. But I did spend 10 hours that one time filming a segment for a national network. And…

Welcome to Open Doors and Opportunity!

My name is Paul and I’m the owner of this blog.

The picture of me above was taken by a very famous photographer who has also photographed Presidents of the United States, numerous celebrity actors and various sports professionals, as well as other business professionals like myself.

I was supposed to have a feature article written about what a great marketing professional I was in GQ Magazine, or Fortune Magazine, or Forbes, or Playboy … one of those … but then, things went sideways.

Really sideways.

The article was never written, the photo was never used anywhere, I was fired from the job that made that photo possible, I lost my home and ended up traveling all over in my pick-up truck (known as Unit #4)  and staying in various Wal-Mart parking lots (what I like to call the Wal-Mart Condo Association) for 2 years.

In the meantime, I’ve done everything. I’ve been a partner in the largest nightclub in SWFL, written songs with Grammy Winners in the Songwriter Hall of Fame, started as a public relations grunt and worked my way to Chief Marketing Officer of a restaurant group, and much, much, much more and many things.

It’s been a crazy life – with highs and lows not experienced by anyone who ever “played it safe” — but I was born to live, and so, that’s what’s I’ve done. These are just some of those (all true 100%) stories.
