Privacy Vanishes?
Privacy Vanishes?

What’s one of the most obvious reasons we lack self confidence?

There are a ton to pick from aren’t there?

And it’s human nature to dislike those that have a ton of self-confidence.

How weird is that?  Talk about paradox:

  • We desire self-confidence
  • We strive for self-confidence
  • We hate those that have an abundance

Two weeks ago, on March 16, I wrote a jungle jeff blog post entitled, Privacy Is A Myth.

The very next day, the New York Times posted the above front page article.

We said the same thing.  But I broke the story.

Social Media is here to stay.  Books (sadly) aren’t, and neither is the NY Times.

So, guess this makes me self-confident and antagonistic.

Excellent.

Quiet Intensity

Sometimes, if not always, it’s incredibly effective to have a role model that practices what is preached. But you already knew that, right?

The other thing that can happen is we get so darn busy that the answers and inspiration we seek are in front of us, yet we push them aside because they don’t look like what we expected or hoped for.

Today is one of those times.

This guy (me), is quietly intense.  And for good reason.  It’s a short message that will help you understand:

  • Why I write five daily blogs
  • Why excuses are lame
  • The secret approach (no one wants to admit)

Additionally, this video will challenge you about your approach, not just for health, but for everything.

Here’s a simple, quick, little test to gauge your determination to transform yourself into a better, more effective adult.

It’s pass or fail.

Ready?

Did you watch the video?

Creativity comes in many forms

Creativity comes in many forms, including a childlike imagination to pretend.

Today’s topic reveals the number one Social Media secret.

It’s number one, period.

But vehemently denied by so many.

And multitudes fail because of this.

Let me make this as simple as possible.  The answer is patience.

Click on it to read Seth Godin’s take. It’s his number one most popular blog post.

Patience.

This is why Social Media, and blogging in particular, is overrated.

SHRM Knows Next

Maybe, Maybe Not
Maybe, Maybe Not

Do you know next? Most likely, you don’t.

I didn’t either, until I clicked here.

Come to find out, I do know next.

It’s one of the special gifts I have that looks stupid, antagonistic, even moronic.

Do You Know Next?

What's Next?
What's Next?

Everyone has special gifts they bring to the table, value they add to their organization

Often, for myriad reasons, these gifts, these talents, go unnoticed.

Why?

Because the employee’s gift is so different from the status quo that it looks crazy.  Moronic.  Maybe even stupid.

Just like Hugh MacLeod stated a few days ago.
