An ARO Interview with Fabeku! Part 1
Who in the HELL can resist this smiling face? Not me. And with a name like Fabeku Fatunmise, who would have thought he’d live right down the road from me in Cincinnati? Not you!
Fabeku does everything right. Ok, his wife probably doesn’t agree, but in the world of authentic, relevant, organic networking, you bet [...]
And The Comment Debate Continues
Insert heavy sigh here.
At GalaDarling.com, she’s turned off comments and gives a nice explanation for why she’s doing it, but also how you can still interact with her.
Honesty, Space & Staying True: Why I Turned Off Comments
I’m beginning to think that turning off comments is the new way to say “I’ve arrived!”.
And a divider between [...]
Is Twitter in Jeopardy?
Is it bye bye birdy?
Can you really keep up with 3000 people, or more?
I’m a huge Twitter fan…but that fan-dom was threatened when I realized I was increasingly “selling” myself and not having an authentic conversation with people. And that they weren’t having one with me. People I had promoted heavily and believed [...]
The Water Cooler: Do You Owe Your Community?
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Writing this post has been scary for me. I’m like all of you. I want to be read and respected by people I admire. I feel shaky hitting publish, but I feel in my bones this post had to be written. By writing it, I’m not judging any individuals – just the decision to [...]
Blog Commenting and Your Community
Danielle LaPorte, like Seth Godin and a few other “power bloggers”, has now closed comments on her blog. And, of course, she is free to do so. A blog is your land, your house, your territory. The readers are your (invited) visitors, though some become family.
But I don’t like the idea in general and here’s [...]
Loving and Respecting Your Tribe
There was a LOT of emotion flying (105 comments or so at last glance) on Charlie Gilkey’s Productive Flourishing blog about a post by Marissa Bracke called Launch Fatigue and How Not to be an Infomercial. The title says it all, but opinionated folks chimed in with their feelings (or lack thereof) about the “inner [...]
An ARO Conversation with Jeannette Maw
I can’t remember exactly how I discovered The Good Vibe Coach, but if memory serves, it was through Pam Slim (both are Martha Beck trained coaches). I started following Jeannette’s blog, inspired by her ability to produce consistently informational and entertaining content, her true engagement with her readers and followers and her strong business acumen. I admired [...]
Lady Gaga, Oprah and My Own “Ah-ha!”
One of my business ideas from way back (like at least 10 years) was doing a magazine called Characters. I even reserved a domain name, drew up a structure but just never got around to making happen. It would be about, well, characters-those individuals who are truly individuals. They have little regard for popularity or convention [...]
