I had a post completely planned out for the day, talking about twitter and techniques for the more advanced users. Then I read Brad Marley’s post about college degree’s. I wanted to write so many things, both agreeing and disagreeing with his point. I was frustrated because I couldn’t think of how to respond, and excited because I knew exactly what I wanted to say (I...
Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies. Powerful name, powerful idea, even more powerful messages inside. About 2 weeks ago, I mentioned that I would be reading Groundswell. I am slowly working my way through the book and wanted to share some thoughts on a section that caught my attention. On page 44 of Groundswell (for those of you who have the book),...

Pardon the interruption of the flow of the Problogger Challenge, but I was enjoying the last 4 days in Vegas with my girls. Now, I am trying to get caught up.

He suggests finding a forum that is discussing a topic that you care about – whether it’s jazz, animals, business or photography. Since I have a...

Today is day 9 of the “10 bold moves to stir up your creativity”. Bold Move #9: Let yourself be wrong. Think about it: If you are never wrong, you never have the opportunity to learn something. We all like being right, ask any of my friends, I don’t do ‘wrong’ well. But, I have learned more about business by being wrong than I ever have by...
Today is day 8 of the “10 bold moves to stir up your creativity”. Bold Move #8: Ask questions…not for the answer but for the conversation that it creates. Creativity is not a solo sport. If you were to lock yourself in a room and cut off all interaction, you would lose creative steam fairly quickly. You might get a few more things done in the beginning,...
Today is day 7 of the “10 bold moves to stir up your creativity”. Bold Move #7: Be nice. Genuinely, honestly and truly nice. This sounds like a very simple, and not-so-bold task, but it is often forgotten and has a larger influence than we often think.
