  • Great Job Security September 10, 2010
    I used to be an inside salesman. My job was to sell via phone and online, and to support several outside salespeople as well. One day, one of the outside guys was in the office, and he and I were discussing clients. “I dunno how you do it,” he said. “Being chained to a desk all day? I couldn’t do it.” We finished our chat, got a nice lunch on the company, an […]

But…where should we go? What types of social site are out there for a small business owner who wants to create a p […]

How To Overcome Blogger Block or Imagining Your Readers Naked

Every now and then as I work with online entrepreneurs, there seems to be a trend of similar questions that are more prevalent than the weeks prior. Over the past 7-10 days I have gotten inundated with “I’ve got my blog set up but now what do I write about?” or “I want to connect better with my readers but I don’t know where to find topics to do that”. It’s a good thing in my book because it means you are all thinking about it seriously rather than cutting and pasting from 3 different blog posts and pressing “publish” (Thank God!). If you’re asking the question it means that you have prioritized bringing useful information and connecting with your [...]
