[...] If I were to sum up Danny’s online presence in one word, that word would be: “Giving”. Starting with his blog, Danny has a way of covering the crossroads of PR, marketing, and social media that makes you feel like you’ve walked away with a little gift, whether it be new knowledge about a trail-blazing search engine, solid advice on how bloggers and PR people can help each other, or motivation to push past the walls and barriers we put up that hold us back (in both business and life).

Thanks a lot, Teresa, glad you enjoyed.

That's the key thing – we know the obstacles are there. Ignoring them is just as foolhardy as making them bigger for ourselves. If, as you say, you can downplay them while still realizing that they need to be overcome, then it should make our approach that little bit easier.

Danny,
I've become a regular reader of your blog fairly recently, and it's because you consistently promote positivity, are open and approachable, give your readers value and pose thought-provoking questions.
That's all I really wanted to say~Oh! and great post, again.

I like this post. I really, really like this post. I think looking at your obstacles, whether they be personal or professional, as walls/borders that we've made is a perfect way of...not downplaying them, but making them less overwhelming, I guess.

Good stuff, Danny!

Funny thing about DISQUS is that I used it last year, and then it just stopped working when I upgraded to Thesis.
