After reading Chris Brogan's post "When Google Owns You - A New Chapter." First, my heart went out to him as I've managed to destroy about four cell phones while on the road with no plan B. I could relate to the sense of isolation and perceived helplessness. I had just finished my plan B, which is … [Read more...]
Follow Friday #3 – Milwaukee Edition
In honor of yesterday's #BigMKETweetup I decided it would be appropriate to give props to my local tweeps. Let's start with @cbuser who just now randomly walked into the Starbucks I hide at about once a week to catch up on blogging "business."

Unplugged on my Birthday

Reading and 30-Day Action Plans
The power of the month long action plan was revealed to me about a month ago, when right here on this blog I committed to write 31 blog posts in 31 days and then I did it. In a month, repeated behavior becomes a habit. That is the real power in planning a month at a time. In my case I love to write … [Read more...]

When you have done this look at all the other aspects that come along with that work and find ways to live with them. I'd argue that having a crappy … [Read more...]
