Ever had one of those days, weeks…even months when you really wonder if this blogging game is worth the effort. You get up in the morning, punch the keys and it feels meaningless. That spark that excited you has long been overshadowed by the constant need to crank out content. After all that’s what we’re…
Does Online Terminology Leave You Scratching Your Head?
You may have heard me say in the past…”business is business, there’s nothing magical or mythical that happens online”. While this may be true, every new environment usually gives birth new processes or technical applications, which in turn gives rise to new terminology. Terminology that can be confusing and overwhelming to understand. So if you’re…
Do You Really Need That Mentor?
There are times when you need help. It might be skills or strategy. It may be breaking through some existing boundaries by challenging your existing thought processes. With so many people offering their services via coaching, consulting and or mentoring, how do you know which one to choose….do you even need someone at all? Nobody…
Please, Let The Day Come When Most “Online Selling Rules” Die
A little change of pace on Respectfully Disobedient this week with a special guest post from Karol K, who’s not holding back on his views on some less than savory online selling practices (Warning. Rant inside … Oh yea.) Enjoy! Some sales attempts I see on the Internet make me both cry and laugh….
Blog Security – Are You At Risk?
It all started over a simple yet sinister comment. “Approve my comment…otherwise I’m gonna hack your blog” Far from being the shy retiring type, my immediate thoughts were, “WTF…who the hell are you…you jumped up little twerp” I know, I know…very misguided of me. After all the “little twerp” is probably spamming this message across…

Does Your Back Catalogue Get Enough Attention?
Do you ever stop to think about those old post’s that you’ve written…you know those ones back in the early days when you were less of a seasoned professional? I’d bet there’s a few gems in there that you could breathe some new life into, and get some fresh eyeballs on that work of yours….
You Don’t Suck, But Your Excuses Do!
Excuses. Got a million of them, right? I bet there’s even some you don’t know you’re using. A recent post sparked some personal conversations about excuses and our natural leaning towards using them. Excuses feed the flinch mechanism. That momentary hesitation, while we run our internal programs and decide on the safest choice. I’ll let…
