This is a guest post from Andrea Costatine, one of the author’s of How to Bring Your Book to Life This Year, a step by step guide on publishing a book. I felt that the topic, their advice and the book itself are great for anyone who has ever considered writing a book. Enjoy! Are you a part of the 81% of the population who says...
“In the story of the Ugly Duckling, when did the Ugly Duckling stop feeling Ugly? When he realized that he was a Swan. Each of us has something Special, a Swan of some sort, hidden inside somewhere. But until we recognize that it’s there, what can we do but splash around, treading water? The Wise are Who They Are. They work with what they’ve got...

For most blogs to be successful, they need to have at least 3 posts a week. There are a few rare occasions that a writer can get away with once a week or once a month, but that is usually because they are already famous and people would read them no matter what. For the average blogger, consistency is key. And, in order to...
<rant begin> I understand that with age comes wisdom, but age is not the only factor to consider when determining someones experience. I can’t count the number of times that I have talked with people over twitter, email and phone, then met them in person and had the same reaction – shock at my age. I am young, 25, and as I have learned, this can...
104 weeks, 730 days, 470 blog posts and a lot of lessons later… writing this blog has been one of the most challenging and rewarding pieces of my business, and life. I love this blog, and every single person who has commented, read and lurked here. It is a place for my ramblings, thoughts and business advice. Even more, it is a place for learning....
Rob Gokee and I met through twitter awhile ago…we then connected through my “free” post and finally met in person about 2 months ago. Rob has done a brilliant job combining his multiple personalities into one website, and one good business. So I asked him to share his story…Take it away Rob!

A month ago, I wrote a post about how much I despise blog titles and my boycott against the tradition of them. I challenged myself to break the status quo and only use one word in my blog titles. After one month, I have to say I still don’t like blog titles and I love this new approach. It is actually more difficult than I...
As a blogger myself, you would assume I was really good at commenting and adding thoughts to other peoples blogs. Unfortunately, that is just not true. And something I really need to fix. Don’t get me wrong, I read a lot of blogs…probably about 30 or so posts per day from both blogs I subscribe to and links I click on through twitter. Of those 30,...
Unfortunately, even after listing 10 great topics that any blogger can use last week, I still didn’t feel motivated today (what? I’m not perfect!). So, I decided to ask for some help from my friends and posted the above status update to facebook and twitter. Thank goodness for great friends, because in just 10 minutes I had the following great ideas! And now, I have...
