Announcing: Bright Coconut

Monk at Work -- Vanlal.Long time, no write, eh? The Monk has beenbusy! In fact, thats exactly what I want to talk to you about. No, not the busy part, the Monkpart. You see, I got out of spiritual healing work for a number of reasons, one of the biggies being that I didnt like the feeling of charging for spiritually specific work (intuitive work, healing work, business work sure. No problem. But teaching it? Just...     06-12

Why Growth Is Better If It Don’t Come Cheap

Monk at Work -- MalingeringAs I was bouncing around on Twitter the other day, I saw someone ask the question, What do you do for your mind, body, and spirit? Its easy, of course, to answer that question with three answers. Oh, Im cleaning up my diet, I exercise a few days a week, and I meditate. Nothing wrong with an answer like that it means youre looking afteryourself. But being the between-the-lines kinda guy ...     01-28

Adding a “Tweet This” Image Link To Your WordPress Blog

Monk at Work -- Recently on Smashing Magazine, there was a fantastic article by Jean-Baptiste Jung of Cats Who Code, called 10 Killer WordPress Hacks. Now, many times when you see a title like that, you probably do the same thing I do: yawn. Because you know as well as I do that out of those 10, only two or three are probably going to be anygood. Au contraire this time, my friends. Jean-Baptiste rocked the house ...     01-19

Why You Should Kill Your Inner Perfectionist

Monk at Work -- InfinityRainOkay, so Ive got 3 planets in Virgo, and a double-grand-trine (and two T-squares) in Air. What does that mean? For those of us (cause Im one of em) who dont have much of a background in astrology, it basically means Imfrogged. Not really. It means Im smart. Yay for me. But it also means Im a perfectionist out the wazoo, so all these great ideas I have? All the amazing connections I see...     01-08

Moving Webward

MonkAtWork.com -- CaptPiper This summer, I suffered a computer crash. Luckily, I saw it coming — it would have problems, temporarily freeze, then lock up and crash. Despite my efforts to clean out unnecessary programs, processes, and detritus, the problems kept getting worse, and I knew that Id ultimately have to erase everything and startover. So, I did what anyone would do. I backed up everything I thought Id nee...     2008

Why You Should Speak Up… And, Stick Around

MonkAtWork.com -- Basak There is a saying in business: If you are unhappy with someones service, talk with your feet. Meaning, leave. They say that the window to please a customer these days is getting shorter andshorter. But thats a completely ridiculous course of action. (Not to mention,childish.) The problem with this strategy is that a) you, as a patron, dont get what you want, and b) the business doesnt get wh...     2008
