Where’d You Go Jim? The Reinventing Of Jim Kukral

I’ve been pretty quiet lately on this blog. Here’s why. I’m less than a week away from a complete new re-brand of me. Yes, I’m rebranding myself.

“What does that mean Jim?” Here’s what I can tell you.

Next Wednesday, November 12 at Noon est, I’ll flip the switch on my new brand. If you want to be notified the moment it happens, follow me on Twitter or signup for my newsletter list on the right.
I will be introducing two new web properties, each with its own focus.
JimKukral.com will still be here, but I’m dropping “The Daily Flip” brand. I’ll occasionally do videos still, but not exclusively and not always with the Flip camera.

That’s about all I can tell you right now. You’re just going to have to wait and see.

So now you ask me why. Good question. The answer is that it’s just time. As an entrepreneur, you have to keep constantly moving. You have to reinvent yourself as a personal brand sometimes, especially when the target moves. And hey, sometimes it’s just fun to try new things and innovate.

Honestly, I’m just following my passion.

This is a good thing. This is what I’ve been moving toward for years. I’ve spent the last three months preparing for this. It’s a calculated move. One that has kept me up working all night on some nights.

I’m excited about the possibilities, and I’m hopeful you’ll stick around to see what I have planned. Until then, I’ll see you here, at JimKukral.com on Wednesday, November 12th at Noon.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

Can't wait for the new JIM. Interesting, Today is my 4th Birthday. 2004, November 6th I died, Massive Coronary. Four days later when I “came to”, I decide to go back to be who I was in my 20's and 30's and JUST do What I Love to Do.
Many have said I have “changed”. Not really. My True Authentic Self just re-emerged.
Looking forward to the “new” Jim…the old was was pretty cool
