Bruce, nice comments, thank you for joining the conversation. No two single activities have changed my life more than reading and writing. The possibilities truly are limitless when you unleash a human brain. I am also stuck in the snow about 30 miles from LaGuardia where I was supposed to fly out of today. Hopefully I will get home tomorrow. All the best sir.

Jim, just found you today,,, and I love where you’re coming from…already have vast library of self improvement books,, in fact started my corporation in 1990 to provide self improvement products to people. “We specialize in YOUR success!!”

After 20 years of ???? , I am still searching for the right way to share~ in fact, am sitting in New Jersey amidst 25 inches of snow working on revamping my website and am lacking the clarity.

I know HOW to ______________ [fill in the blank.... stay organized,,be happy, get in shape, lose weight, etc..] yet implementation and narrowing my focus is continuing struggle.

I am quite literate with social media; was on MYSPACE in the early days,,, wowza!… Joined Facebook way before 98 % of my friends had even heard of it. [ Single parenting two boys was my driving force,, and OH what an eye opener that was!.]

Joined twitter before it went mainstream.
However , not familiar with foursquare and am going to see what it’s about now.

Sherman, It sure does help, it keeps your thinking creative or as I like to refer to “radical.” Please use the comments on this site to let us all know what you are reading, so we can all pick up the good ones on a recommendation.

I heard stories of a competitor in our Web development space who would go into the office of a decision maker and ask to see their printed catalog. He’d take it, look at it with disdain, throw it in the trash can and say “I’m going to build you a Web site so you’ll never need to print another one of these again!” And that was 12 years ago. Great for dramatic impact, but dead wrong.

There are some now that say that Social Media is killing the traditional Web site. Also great for dramatic impact, but also dead wrong.

The vehicles and and touch points may come and go. But it’s only as we realize we’re not in the catalog or web business but in the “brand re-inforcement” business that we’ll prove to be sustainable.
