Networking, Connecting, and Creating Win-Wins with Social Media

Just a quick note.
I had a great dinner last night with some sharp, sharp Internet Marketers.
One of them was Alejandro Reyes, who, despite his best attempts to not look it (just kidding Alejandro!), is one of the brightest and most talented social media experts I’ve ever met.
He’s such a natural Connector it’s not even funny.
You […]

The Power of the Stories We Tell Ourselves

The topic of stories holds a never ending fascination for me.
You see, everyone tells themselves a story when they purchase a product or service.
And every product or service, like it or not, has a story to tell as well.
Sometimes, the story is that the product or service is shabby and not worth purchasing.
This isn’t the […]

I had heard of Jim Rohn years before actually hearing him live, but for some reason I had this impression that he was this […]

It’s a Good Day to Die

I was doing some non-marketing reading today (surprising, I know) and I found this tidbit of information to be both fascinating and inspiring.

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us

I have this friend who I met through a business project.

A Snippet from my Copywriting Mindset Report

Thought I’d do something fun today.
I’m in the process of writing a Copywriting Mindset Report that focuses on the essential mental checklist I’ve personally developed, and review every time I sit down to pen sales copy.

My Mom Taught Me the Most Valuable Marketing Lesson of All

I come from a very academically oriented household.
But thanks to my parents, I’ve never felt even an ounce of self doubt about myself, despite the fact that my sister was so academically gifted when we were growing up, and I was so mediocre.
(Go here for the post about that).
My dad went to the equivalent of […]
