How Do They Do It? The Mystery of Human Achievement

Eli Gillespie April 08, 2016 Business, Insurance Leave a Comment

How do people achieve great things?  I’d really like to know.  As an “Achiever” (that’s my #1 strength according to StrengthsFinder) I feel like I might be lagging.

Crossfitting My Way To 40

Eli Gillespie April 04, 2016 Health and Fitness Leave a Comment

CrossFit.  I do it.  I started in Jan 2015 because I wanted to do something about my pants which were clearly getting tighter and tighter.  My insanely fit kid sister who is a coach at Yucaipa CrossFit talked me into joining.

Why I Prefer To Read In Starbucks

Eli Gillespie March 31, 2016 Books 4 Comments

It wasn’t until I was almost thirty years old that I started reading books on my own volition. Before then, my reading consisted of encyclopedia articles, magazines, and the stats on the back of basketball cards.  I just wasn’t into reading books.

The Things We Do

If you’ve been watching American Idol like I have (it’s the farewell season – cut me some slack!), you might have seen Jennifer Lopez critique top five finalist Sonika Vaid for being a bit restrained.  I was thinking about that because as a musician (yes, technically I am one), I’ve been given similar criticism.  Mine is usually, “You need to smile more.”

Are You Passionate Enough to Crush It?

Eli Gillespie December 18, 2014 Books, Business, Insurance, Music Leave a Comment

That’s the question I’m asking myself right now.  This is all because of one guy Gary Vaynerchuk and his book Crush It.  One of the first things the book talks about is being you, doing those things you love, and putting it out there for the world to see, which will ultimately allow you to earn sums of money you never imagined possible.

It’s early on a Saturday morning and I’m building my website.  My wife and son are sleeping.  It’s nice and quiet.  The next step is is getting a theme.  Exciting!
