John Morgan is a friend I have connected with through twitter (and is high on my list of people-to-meet this year.) I am always impressed by his wit, ideas and dedication to business and so I asked him to put together a post on branding for you! Thanks John, and enjoy!Whether you realize it or not you already have a brand. Everyone does. The reason...
Anyone who can look at twitter and say it hasn’t changed the way we communicate, get news, deal with customers and grow businesses, obviously isn’t looking very hard. And today, it is 5 years old. Twitter has been a big part of my social media and business life for the last 3 years. It has been an amazing place to meet people, find business, and has...
The most common question I get from clients is what they need to have on their website. This question is tough to answer without getting answers to a few questions: [youtube id="b9inAveHfT4"] Can’t see the video? Watch it on youtube. Have you considered a website redesign?

I hate spam on twitter with a serious passion. The worst part is, all you have to do is tweet a phrase, an acronym or a word, and all of a sudden, it’s spam follower overload. For example, last night, @CBJason made a comment about working out, which started a conversation that ended in me tweeting: “@CBJason haha I only workout so I can...
While blogging is about content, strategy and discussion, it is also about time. None of us have enough time in the day for everything that we’d like to do. Unless of course, you don’t have enough work, and then well, you have time for just about anything. The problem with blogging is that a lot of us get started when business is slow, when we need...
I love how focused Steve Woodruff is on making the business world better – and connecting the right people with each other to enable business growth. Many of you (like me) are solopreneurs. We run our own businesses and work with other business owners, avoiding the need for employees. But, just because we work with contractors doesn’t mean we have connections to everyone and everything...
There is plenty of pi for everyone, but many of us forget to bring a knife and fork with which to take our piece. So instead, we stand around looking at the pi, waiting for someone with utensils to serve it to us. Then, when they take the big piece for themselves and give you the small piece, you complain. You whine about them being “lucky”, when...
Wednesday night, I attended a tweetup for #savethebeach, where portions of all the money raised went to a great charity. The event was awesome – got to see everyone I hadn’t seen in awhile, catch up on lives, and met a few new people I had only chatted with on twitter. At the event, I brought my camera and captured some perspectives on social media from...
Because of the topic, the entire post has been hand-written. Click to enlarge and read it the way it was meant to be read. Prefer to read it without the handwriting? It has been transcribed into typing below the images.I am an avid technology user. I love my laptop, phone and computer – especially how quick it is to type content, spellcheck, grammar check and...
WordPress is my drug of choice – at least when it comes to blogging and my website. Not only is it simple to use, it has (almost) unlimited creative capabilities. Every once in awhile, I talk with a blogger, posterous or tumblr user and they rave about the things that their tool can do, and why it is so much better. But, with every one...
