30 Days, 8 Blogs, 1 Crazy Idea

words

Welcome back! It’s awesome to have you here. Let me first start off with an apology. I’m am deeply sorry that I let this blog become less of a priority than it should be. I am also very sorry that I didn’t fulfil my commitment of providing you with the valuable content you both want and deserve.

I received a wake up call during one of my many busy work days from a video from a good friend, Marcus Sheridan. In this video Marcus speaks about making blogging as much of a priority as payroll, and I totally agree.

Next Steps

For the next 30 days (Starting Monday December 3rd) I will be writing twice a week and using your brain as the fuel to drive this vehicle. So here is the idea I’m proposing you help me with. I want you to send me one word, yup you heard right, one word.

I will then take that one word and turn it into a blog post about how that one word correlates to business, and what we can learn from that one word. Some examples could include a tire, ant, fan, leaves, light switch…etc, you get the idea. And don’t send me words like “the’ or “too” as I know you’re far more creative than that :)

A Change

With this challenge also comes needed change. This change includes a brand new site design from the brilliant Lisa Kalandjian and a blog launch that will include a review of the actionable and very interesting book from Sarah Robinson “Fierce Loyalty, Unlocking the DNA of Wildly Successful Communities”.

So…

What do you think? Would you like to contribute to this fun blog series? If so, you can either leave a comment below, or send a tweet my way with your word of choice. I look forward to catching up and sharing with you what I’ve been up to recently, but we’ll save that for another day.

See you soon :)

Fun challenge! And tough question. One word? I thought about these... pirate, now, pasta, sombrero, sugar, ink, bro, counterpoint, root, thorax and blam!

 

But how about this one: rodent
