Step 1: Shut Up.

October 19, 2009

Step 2: Listen, listen, listen.  Who cares what you’re saying? What are other people saying? Step 3: Learn, learn, learn about what’s going on around you. Guess how? See Step 2. Step 4: Ask, ask, ask when you’ve got questions.  Really understand. Genuineness is never deceiving. Step 5: Eventually, someone is going to ask you [...]

Paying It Forward

October 5, 2009

Today is an idea day.   There are many ways to “pay it forward” in good deeds and sharing brain power shouldn’t be discredited.  We all have thoughts, ideas and the time and effort honouring those is worth something. I have listed 10 ideas for more than one person I work with today and it [...]

Wait! Wait for me!

September 30, 2009

It happened.  I fell off the Twitter Bus. Gasp! You know, it’s fun running with the hip and happening crowd but when you stay home sick a few times, they move on without you.  Don’t get me wrong I’m catching up and as much as everything happens for a reason; there’s always some responsibility that [...]

The Bumpy Road of Resistance

September 18, 2009

It has been a bumpy week.  Bumpy? Yeah, bumpy.  Not quite the huge high and subsequent low but a bunch of little ups and downs; sort of like riding in a jeep across a recently harvested corn field.  Knowing full well that putting one foot in front of the other is the only way to [...]

Focused and Fiesty

September 9, 2009

“Focus…focus…focus.” That’s all I could hear last evening during our bedtime routine. I turned just to witness my daughter do a somersault. I couldn’t help but smile though. She’s got it.  She can do anything she sets her mind to…and those seem to be the magic words. Kids say the darndess things it’s true. Any [...]

Hello Needs More

August 31, 2009

Over the last couple of weeks the telephone has been my best friend.  Making membership solicitation calls has taken up a chunk of my time and for the most part, I’ve enjoyed the interaction within a totally different industry.    Trade aside, the businesses I was calling were indeed that, businesses,  and so it was seriously [...]

Who’s Nimble? No Jack…no stick!

August 13, 2009

Many of you have mentioned, the word ‘nimble’ is catchy. People remember it, are intrigued by it and can appreciate why I use it to represent what I do. Most of you also know how much I engage Twitter to create new and maintain cherished business relationships.  Today, the two came together when I discovered [...]

The Entrepreneurial Vida Loca

August 10, 2009

Life influences business.  I could create a long list of things directly affecting how and why there IS business but let’s just leave it at “life” and keep it simple.  The most significant factor in this whole craziness is choice. As consumers we choose to purchase products or services from Company A or Company B. [...]

Blinded by Plan A.

July 25, 2009

Last week I prepared to be doing anything other than what I’m doing now.  Seriously, I was expecting to be lying in a hospital bed in recovery from some fairly significant surgery. By now I would be preparing to come home (tomorrow, Sunday) albeit sore and probably needing the odd narcotic to smooth my movements.  [...]

Twitter vs. Television; What’s Your Mix?

July 7, 2009

I don’t have cable television.  I have Twitter and that’s better.  This occured to me one night this week when I noticed how may tweets were coming across with television content. I realize those people were probably twitter-habited looking for connection beyond the tube and the entertainment was something they had in common. This gave [...]
