Seth’s ebooks in One Place

Josh put together a nice list of most of Seth’s ebooks. I’m posting about this so that I can go back and read (and re-read) them at a later time.   If you’d like to check them out too, well…I guess I’ll let you.  

Yesterday I was eating dinner with some family members.  I found out an older set of relatives took a bunch of old baby toys and devices (ie. a swing, happy-hopper, etc.) and put them on their front lawn Saturday morning.  The idea was to set them out there and give them away, for free. In [...]

The Cube

About a year ago, I was trying to think of ways to make work (and what goes on there) a little more fun. I wanted to add a little spice to our company culture. (Not habanero-style-burn-your-mouth-off…more like cinnamon: subtle, yet makes a difference.) During a team lunch, I thought it would be a good time [...]

I Took the Plunge: LinkedIn

Yes, yes I did. I usually focus my time and attention on Twitter with a little bit of facebook on the side.  I love Google Reader and use it to stay current on my favorite blogs.  I haven’t wanted to jump into LinkedIn to merely be there and check off another social media box.  But, [...]

Connecting

I just found out about Branchout. It’s basically Linkedin for facebook.  You get to see all of your friends and where they are currently employed (and where they were employed) if they have added this info in their profile.  You can also take it a step further and see where friends of friends work.  I didn’t [...]

Listen to What Your Competition is Doing

That is basically what Josh “Shua” Peters said during one of the points he made last night at the monthly SMCUV. I think what basically made that statement most relevant to me was that it’s simple but true.  (More simple said than done in some ways for me right now.)  I know who some of [...]

How to Increase Sales at a Barber Shop.

I can’t take any credit for this post, other than the fact that I’m sharing it. I want to remember it and use it in the future.  There were some great ideas here from many different people about how to: 1. Draw in more customers 2. Make the actual experience even better. 3. Be real. [...]

SEO on a Website

My friend Scott and I were talking today while eating pastrami burgers. (No tomatoes, btw.)  I asked him what he thought about the idea of having at least 1,000 words on a website to begin helping a website to have really good SEO.  Scott countered with the statement that the more pages that are in [...]

Be Personal.

I was listening to a live Mixergy interview of Seth Godin.   (One of my goals in life is to meet him and not sound too stupid talking to him.  [Maybe that's two goals...hmmm.])  Seth made the “Be Personal” statement and it really hit me.  I’ve been learning a lot about this in the past couple [...]

Cookies

I tried to make cookies tonight.  I actually produced cookies, but I say “tried” because they really didn’t turn out very well.  I write this with some cookie still on my face and only milk to drown away my sorrows.  (At least the milk was good!)  I tried a new recipe.  My sister told me how her husband really, really [...]
