Sorry for not touching base with people over the last couple of weeks. Burning the candle at both ends cost me a bit! Back in the saddle!

The Siren's Call! Another day, another launch! Incredible to witness this phenomenon, bright shiny objects & promises of riches!

Today I got to go to a family function that 2yrs ago I would've missed! I almost didn't make it! If you don't quit, all things are possible!

"The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery, and tenacity." Mahatma Gandhi

This is from an email I received: "Discover The Easiest Way to Make More Money This Year." How about "Meaningful" instead of "Easiest!"????

This is an awesome concept & an absolutely beautiful theme & store! One of the prettiest of both, in both worlds! Nice! http://bit.ly/bcKSeY

For a long time I bothered these guys about becoming an affiliate! They have an awesome product! The BEST keyword tool! http://bit.ly/a1oZkN

20mos of Facebook! I've watched people come & go. They're still friends, they just quit posting! Same with Twitter. Retention is quite low!

All the hub-ub about Facebook PPC was WAY overdone! I've used Google & Facebook for PPC, a lot, & there is no comparison! Google wins!

Having fun working on a video with Animoto & YouTube! Add in TrafficGeyser & we dominate for ANY keywords we focus on! http://bit.ly/bgQMhh

I'm proud of my colleagues, real Linchpins! Our latest clients' sties are coming together nicely http://bit.ly/djDMBw & http://bit.ly/crEwBA

Absolutes: 1) You get what you pay for! 2) There's no free lunch! Cheap begets cheap (lousy results) every time! Cheap? You ALWAYS pay more!

The most hated phrase of all Craigslist advertisers is: "Have you had any luck with that?" Spam is a real problem with CL! Keeps many away!

@LisaSawyer317 Meeting went well. Nice guy, really nice guy! My son's age with a real vision for his future! Will be a pleasure working with

I miss Huitter! It was a great concept & very useful! Too bad Twitter changed their rules & Huitter couldn't adapt! There's a lesson there!

It's interesting, interviewing clients & deciding whether of not to work with THEM! Makes for a REALLY nice interview & ZERO pressure! Fun!

Great meeting with a new client! "Did lunch" for the 1st time in, well, since before "the illness!" So many getting BAD mrktg advice online!

Love the viral thing! JUST in the last 24hrs, via Google Alerts, I've found my videos & articles on 37 different sites! http://bit.ly/bqpTfg

Find a mentor! Someone you relate to & identify with. FOLLOW their advice! If you want to make it, in anything! You need a mentor, a coach!

Take it slow! If it was easy to make money online, money would be flowing through the streets! Take a long view & build your business right!

I can't tell you how many clients I've talked to who've been taken by incompetent 'Internet salesmen." They're NOT inbound marketers! Sad!

1955! A stroller ride every day. Route included a swing by Einstein's house! Mom didn't know he'd died 3 days before I was born! Oh well!

I love the viral nature of the Internet! I've been posting videos for more than a year & every day someone picks one up http://bit.ly/c0rA5G

Success is about Positioning & Differentiation! How people refer to you when you're not in the room & what makes you the one to do biz with!

There's nothing "scalable" about anything we do! It's all based on who we are & what we are about! Same is true for my Linchpin staff! UII

I've the most amazing Linchpins! Absolute artists who "make their own map," as Seth Godin put it! http://bit.ly/djDMBw I'm so proud of them!

You've GOT to love the viral nature of the Internet! Yup! That's me right next to Jillian Michaels! http://bit.ly/b1EFki Forgot I wrote that

Craigslist is a really great resource but it's also Spam Central! Cutting through the cr#p to get to the clients is indeed trying at times!

I love helping new clients create their online presence! Online or offline, business building is exciting! http://bit.ly/cAvTX3

@LisaSawyer317 Added 2 more clients today! Should help keep things busy! RE investor for lunch Tuesday & the landscaper is still working!

3 appts on a Sunday! Swamped! Had to hire my daughters, though! Outside of 1 amazing V.A. (no, not a veteran!) I can't find QUALITY help!

Talk about Manta from on High! In church this morning I sat in the 1st row to receive the collection plate & it was already half full! Hmm?!

How we treat our ADD & ADHD kids is appalling! Labels & "special" classes designed to...help? I think not! http://bit.ly/cT97Eb

People have been minimized, commoditized & set aside! I meet them every day! Many search & step up! More give up! Sad! http://bit.ly/bgC22w

I've worked with "special" kids for over 30yrs now, whenever able. TED talk, shared by @LisaSawyer317 inspired me! http://bit.ly/cT97Eb

Connie's birthday tomorrow but I have 4 appts, so we are going out tonight! I haven't been out in forever! What a difference a year makes!

@LisaSawyer317 Super conversation with the Realtor! Plenty of know-how, just no time & zero traffic! Tuesday! He wants to "get on this!" Fun

Seth Godin is right! It's not "What if I fail!" It's "What if I succeed?!" Inertia is an incredibly negative force! Fight it, it's worth it!

You know its a great day when you get a ton of stuff done, several articles finished, added several new clients & are still in your jammies!

Giving Facebook 1 more go w/PPC. Didn't do much last time! 1 more round with Google! Be careful with them, they're "affiliate intolerant!"

@Homeskids Thanks for the RT! Great site! I just followed you. Good luck with it, it is needed! http://parentingcenter.co.za/

Enough playing, back to writing! I've a ton of clients to serve & the clock is ALWAYS running! What a difference a year makes! Gorgeous day!

Are you a parent? Coach? Educator? "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell is a MUST read! Particularly the 1st pages dealing with bias & performance!

10,000hrs! 2.4 years-80hrs a week to become a true master of your craft! NO 4hr work week nonsense! 10,000hrs! Would ya? To become a MASTER?

My friend @LisaSawyer317 sent me a TED video! It inspired me. I ran with it! http://bit.ly/cT97Eb About labels, special kids, ADD/ADHD, etc.

Early night tonight! Tired! Several big meetings Monday & a ton of writing & editing to finish this weekend! Added several new clients! Nite

Super day! Several calls from prospective clients! Need a clone! Have an amazing asst but need another Linchpin that understands marketing!

Mentioned 2 items, both went viral. 1 article & 1 video. The video "tweet" received 3 times as many clicks as the article! Video is King!

Got back from a doctor's at 11am. Have another "check under the hood" this afternoon. Amazing how much difference a year makes! Healthy now!

As I really experienced college life as a student & as an academician I realized most students squander the experience! http://bit.ly/c53ICI

Seth Godin http://bit.ly/c53ICI Life is "high school" for most! College? Wasted on what "I should" do & not on the possibilities! Agreed!!!

This afternoon I was seriously considering giving up tutoring kids (I love it!) but with 4 calls in 2 hours, I guess the message is clear!

Everyone should read "Outliers." Noticed the same age bias with my students & soccer teams! Very interesting work, every parent should read!

Ask & yea shall...! Someone "Upstairs" read my "posts or tweets" & I got 2 calls from parents in less than an hour for help with their kids!

After 30yrs plus tutoring "special" kids I'm calling it quits the end of this year! Parents want results yesterday & it's just not possible!

The worst part of working with & tutoring kids is knowing they still need help & not being able to provide it any longer! Sad! Really sad!
