I discovered some interesting things about myself and how I work. One thing: I really like my freedom of time and doing what I need to do on my own terms. And two: I’m much more productive and creative late at night. Now, these two things make it quite interesting and creative when working…

What’s my secret? Are you up for the challenge?
I get asked this question a lot – “What’s your secret to marketing implementation and getting so much accomplished for yourself and your clients?” I love this question because it really gets to the heart of people’s frustrations on getting things done, whether it’s finishing writing a book, or article, or creating a new product or service. Let’s face it, taking action can be challenging and sometimes even frustrating, I know, I’ve been there struggling myself, many times. So, what’s my secret? Well, first it’s creating my plan of action. What is it I’m trying to accomplish? Is it creating a product, writing a book, or maybe launching a product?…

Nothing happens in marketing until something moves…
It’s the beginning of 2009, and all best laid plans are being drawn out now for a fantastic 2009. For some people they’re fearful, worrisome and pessimistic. For others, they’re enthusiastic, energized and know as long as they’ve mapped out their plan, and stick to it, they will achieve all their goals for the year. Which camp are you in?

Discovering 4 Travel Secrets on my Trip to Martha’s Vineyard
Back at home now, I’m writing from my second floor office where the view out of my window is a bit dreary- the rain is back. Yet, as I sit and reflect about my trip to Martha’s Vineyard, it was far from dreary. In fact, I discovered 4 really cool secrets that I wanted to share with you. Before departing on our trip there’s the usual freneticness that goes along with any kind of travel these days requiring leaving your house for more than a few days.

Don’t be afraid of your “super powers…”
I’m dumbfounded by the number of people I meet and work with who take so much of their talent for granted. They take their own knowledge for granted and assume everyone else has the same knowledge that they have. Time and time again, I run across this, and I’m not excluded from this category either.
