We fall into comfort zones easily. We see something that works, or appears to be working, and we settle for that. It’s understandable. After all, experimentation isn’t always fun. It can be hard work. It can backfire – results are never guaranteed. Compare that to the safe and the tried, where we know something has… [Continue Reading]
People are hungry creatures by nature. Hungry to be liked; hungry to be loved; hungry to be respected; hungry to be successful. That’s good. Without hunger, we have no drive. Without drive, we have no goals. Without goals, we have no yardstick to base our success on. And so the circle comes back around. The… [Continue Reading]
So this post has absolutely nothing to do with marketing. Nothing to do with social media. Nothing to do with PR, or communications, business or blogging tips (unless you count the stats about spam emails when you click the “More” tab on the side navigation menu). But that doesn’t matter. Sometimes you need to step… [Continue Reading]
We all know things are tough at the minute. Businesses are laying staff off or closing down altogether, contractors are finding less clients and people are finding it hard to make ends meet. And it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. So here’s an idea. A call to action, if you like.… [Continue Reading]

Word of mouth is the most trusted recommendation factor around. We trust our friends, our families, our connections. We’d rather go with their… [Continue Reading]
Sometimes, through anger, we see our own frailties. Or maybe not frailties – but definitely nuances that could be shared better. The last few days has taught me that, as I’ve been pretty angry on this blog. Although, to be honest, I don’t see it as much anger as it is passion. I’m passionate about… [Continue Reading]
I have a problem with the term “thought leader”. According to Dictionary.com, “leader” is described this way: – noun a person or thing that leads. a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group. We all know what a thought is, so no real need to go to a dictionary for that. So, put the two of them together to get thought leader, and we’re basically… [Continue Reading]
You’re on all the social networks. You’re on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, Digg and MySpace. And they’re just the popular ones. You might also be on Ping, Stumbleupon, Sphinn, Delicious, Tumblr, Ning and countless others. Maybe you’re just on a few and maximizing your connections. Or maybe you’re on dozens and trying to say… [Continue Reading]
Here in Canada, it’s Thanksgiving weekend. Coming from the U.K. originally, I was always aware of the Thanksgiving holiday, but we don’t celebrate it. I didn’t even know Canada had its own Thanksgiving – I always thought it was just a U.S. holiday. Having experienced it for the last four years now, I have to… [Continue Reading]
A blog’s community can be many things. It can be long-term subscribers; it can be first time visitors. It can be “only” readers; it can be regular commenters. It can be every day attendees; it can be folks that visit once then read every other post from a feed, never to visit the actual blog… [Continue Reading]
