Jesus’ Last Name Is Not Please (What To Do When You’re Running On Empty)

Posted on May 21, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

Note to self: Jesus’ last name is not Please. It’s Christ. Note to Jesus: Please (oh, there I go again …) It seems I am constantly and forever saying out of need and necessity, “Jesus please”. So much so He might think it’s His last name. But He didn’t come here and give His life…

Thinking Of Making A Move Into A New Career?

Posted on April 30, 2016December 10, 2023 by Paul

A blank slate. A white piece of paper. A clean canvas. A large map and a dart. If you could re-make your life, what would you do? If you could go anywhere and survive, where would that be? — I love the idea of reinvention. Starting from scratch all over again in a different place…

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.
