List building is the key

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Baby here today. It may seem that I am just hanging out in the tank but though my eye site is not really good (true of most turtles) my hearing is excellent. All the time the Dad is talking about the need for people to build a list. Now that means you need to do [...]

Stubbornness can be an asset

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Today I decided to get back to origins here. Long before I realized that I could get the turtles to do the blogging I used to pay attention to what the turtles did and relate it to marketing. Of late the turtles have been talking for themselves. Yesterday I was getting ready to clean the [...]

What makes them tick?

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Gizzard is shedding again and looks a bit ugly but that is part of his growth. The picture does not do it justice but you can see the skin hanging off as it replaced with new skin below. Now there must be some nutritional value in that skin because you will see them eating the [...]

Replenishing – an important concept
