My social media mix
BLOG I started the Business Owners Success Club blog in 2006 to support the offline group I had. We met during the first week of the month to work through a workbook I prepared. By the end of the session, we would have several tasks we had each chosen to help us implement the topic […]
Social Media Mix
Mitch Joel wrote a post about how Facebook is no longer just a destination, it’s a platform. Then he wrote about Content being everywhere. When a story breaks, like AOL buying HuffPost this week, you read about it through the regular news outlets, then you read Arianna’s post on HuffPost, then see what’s showing up […]
Books in January and February
Ivana Sendaka writes a post every month about the books she has read. I’m part of her super cool gang and I appreciate reading what books she has read and what she thinks about them. So I’m imitating her idea – that being the sincerest form of flattery. I started the month and the year […]

Bonhomie
No Mind 2010-100 Originally uploaded by Ängsbacka Seth Godin said Bonhomie is underrated. I’ll take it one step further and say Bonhomie is essential. It’s what’s missing when Small Business Owners keep plugging away on their own. Many people go to a coffee shop to work, just to be around others. Other people isn’t what’s […]
