There is a really simple answer to why I've decided to create so much content lately. I like creating content. This is the second of two blog posts I'll create today. I didn't get started on the first one until late in the afternoon when I was almost done working for the day. Normally, I write … [Read more...]
Do The Work
Do the work. What do those three words mean to you? Here is what they mean to me in this moment. (Note: This post was written in late December 2020 as I worked on a goal to create 12 pieces of content in 12 days.) Without distraction, get to work on whatever it is I need to make my businesses … [Read more...]
I’ve missed you beautiful people
Hello, I've missed you. I have not published a post on this blog in nearly five years. If you're wondering why, I'll be addressing that in future posts. Yes, I plan to post here frequently again. What that frequency will be I do not yet know; but writing more is a decision I've made and now I need … [Read more...]
Letting go and finding the flow
Over the last several years, my first post each January has explained my plan for the coming year. This year is no different; except I arrived at my 2016 plan in a different way. While it didn't start out that way, 2015 turned out to be a year of letting go and finding the flow instead of making … [Read more...]
Change is in the air …
I love change. That's what being a disruptive innovator is all about. As much as I love change, however, I've learned that meaningful change is harder and takes longer than you expect it will. I began the redesign of this site about six months ago and anticipated it would be done in 30 … [Read more...]
Create a body of work
A body of work is all the art you have created and shipped. If you are a writer, your body of work is all the writing that you have published. You might have great unpublished art, but until it has been shipped and is out there for the world to consume, it's not part of your body of work. So how do … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts On A Friday Morning
I'm going to start writing more - heck I already have written more in the last couple weeks than the two months before that. As part of this return to the words I plan to use this platform for more informal and conversational posts. Posts like this that are just a collection of random thoughts, some … [Read more...]
Finding the fun by changing directions
Sometimes the activities you love pursuing, writing in my case, become less fun than they once were. When that happens it's time to look for a new direction to take your passion in. Most recently I've published on this site about once a week, and frankly even that has started to be an effort. It … [Read more...]
The sweet 16 blog headlines
Every few months I take a look at the stats on this site and other blogs I administer to see what types of content generate the most traffic. What follows is a summary of the 16 most successful headline types over the last year. Before we get to that, here are a few cautionary notes. A headline is … [Read more...]
Edit Flow is one cool WordPress plugin
For over a year, I've had the good fortune of having Shelby Sapusek as an editor for this site. Together, we create a great deal of content each week and keeping track of where it all is in the editorial process can be tricky. We're actually writing a six-part (three from each of our perspectives) … [Read more...]
