Following the Leaders, Reaping the Rewards
It has been six months, give or take a day, since I started this blog. I have learned plenty.
I have made money. I have lost money, but, oh my I have learned. My goal was to establish an online business. I read compulsively, all the how to articles, e-books, and references I could put my hands and eyes on. I learned there are those to be trusted online and those to avoid. I learned there are those who proclaim to be leaders. I also learned the real leaders don’t have to tell people, they just are. If you are like me, you spend a portion of each day searching and reading other blogs. I have found out in the last six months some very important things about blog reading. It can waste time like nothing else, and is it not amazing how many blogs are out there touting this or that product or service? Perhaps, even more amazing, are the numbers of blogs all promoting the same products! I mean who do you listen to? Better yet, who do you ignore? If I have learned one thing in the last six months, it is that there is as much, if not more, garbage out there as there is quality sites and information. I remember in the early days visiting the so called A-Listers blogs and getting out of my chair to check my wallet as I clicked on to another site. Here are few leaders I follow.

Social Media and the Power of Giving
Did you shy away from the title of this post at first? No worries I am sure most people did. It is born in all of us. We are far better at taking and receiving than giving aren’t we? Now before you hit the back button, because you are thinking you are not that way, give it a few more minutes. It really is related to blogging. How many sites have you visited that busy receiving without regard to giving. Winston Churchill once said , We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Seems there are bunch of them who read the first part of Churchill’s statement and choose to ignore the rest. If you are not willing to give in the social media world, and everyone has that decision to make, don’t plan on receiving much.
Writing Content in your own Unique Voice
Often times some friends or business associates that know me personally will see me and mention that they read my latest post. Sometimes complimentary, sometimes critical, but they always say that as they were reading the thought entered their mind, “that’s sounds just like Don”. I choose to take that as a compliment. Why?
