13 Months

Freedom To Write Without Worry
Freedom To Write Without Worry

It’s been 13 months. Writing five separate blogs. Daily?  Yep, daily.

Daily, as in every single day.

(only guy on the Internet doing it)

If you notice on the right column under Archives, April 2009 has 18 posts, not 30.

Here’s why. I used to blog for my company, before we had an official social media policy, which came out last August.

Twelve blog posts were removed because of their reference to my real job with a Fortune 100 company for the past 27 years. My boss said I’m free to write whatever I want to personally, but not as a spokesperson for our company.

I’m good with that.

And because of my gift for focus and discipline, there is no one better at social media policy commitment and compliance than, well, guess.

Over And Over And Over And…

Does Common Sense Have a Glass Ceiling?
Does Common Sense Have a Glass Ceiling?

Never get bored with the basics.

Common sense is the secret.

The reason people don’t embrace common sense, and don’t practice common sense is simple.

If it’s too simple, it can’t work.

This is why you hear me say the same thing on these five blogs.

Over and over and over and…..

Gotta Say It

It's My Job To Say Things
It's My Job To Say Things

Life on the road is challenging.

There ain’t no glamor on the road. There is a very strong sense of accomplishment, helping people see what excellence looks like, how it works, and what they might try differently to become more excellent.

That’s a huge privilege I get, as a professional speaker.

The downside? Is there one?

Depends.

What do you gotta say?  How would you say it?  Why?

These are questions only you can answer. Do you? Will you?

Someone says or writes something that others find more than just interesting, they find it important, and then feel compelled to share it with others, because they know their friends and associates will find it important too.

Attention Deficit, easily distracted, over-achiever, multi-tasker, you name it, this will satisfy your curiosity for new and cool things on the Internet – popular links to great Internet domains.

We may never see you again, but remember this, where else can you find a person that writes five daily blogs, even while traveling Internationally?
