Zoom! Abstract Airplane with Purple Dots

Zoom! Abstract Airplane

The sweat ran down his forehead, his nose, and into his mustache.  The perspiration collected in the thick, black hair of his bushy upper lip until droplets formed and fell to his bright green button-up long sleeved dress shirt. The wet spots were very noticeable on such a shirt.  He was obviously becoming self-conscious about his moist appearance, but he couldn't help himself. He was so very nervous, flying had always made him feel that way.  

He tried to distract himself with the complimentary airline magazine provided to him in the pocket on the back of the seat in front of him.  He flipped through to some random page in the middle of the magazine where there was an article about a luxury furniture manufacturer in Colorado.  The bottom half of the page was a photograph of a pair of furniture craftsman in the production shop stretching fabric over the back of the chair.  One of the pair was holding the purple material taut, and the other was hammering in furniture tacks to keep it in place.

The snack cart being wheeled through the aisle made a rather loud crashing sound as a large bottle of water fell from the top-most part of the cart to a lower shelf of the cart made of thin sheet metal.  The sound shocked him back from his distracting article and his arm jerked from the surprise.  He accidentally tore the top half of the page.  Oops!  He quickly flipped to some other page.  He looked around discreetly to see if anyone had noticed.  It seemed no one had.  Whew!

What Is the Purpose of a Blog Post?

Image
When people are new to blogging and they are trying to research what makes a good blog post or how to improve their blog’s performance measures through their content, a certain type of advice comes up almost every time. “Write the BEST content on your article’s topic.” “Make your article better than every other article on the web.” “Make your post the definitive, most detailed resource available.” “If someone finds your article, they shouldn’t need to look for any other information anywhere else because your post will be so complete that they will have learned all they need to learn about the subject.” This is a wildly intimidating goal to set for your content, and unfortunately, while the intention of setting a lofty goal is that you will end up achieving better results for it, what most often happens is that you will develop a fear of failure and that will prevent you from even starting. Which is the worst possible outcome. Even a failure that gets finishe...

The Importance of Entrepreneurship to the Economy and Society

Image
An entrepreneur is a special kind of person.  The entrepreneur is a life/world/reality designer.  The entrepreneur takes what isn’t yet and makes it happen. Someone who is entrepreneurial or chooses the path of entrepreneurship will create the world that others live in.  Where most people must settle for the way things are and must pounce on the job opportunities they see in the world because those are the limit of possibilities for them, the entrepreneur will choose to create opportunities for themselves and others when they do not see the opportunities they wish for. Clearly, I think highly of entrepreneurs. Can Everyone Be An Entrepreneur? I think that there are some people who lack the skills and the mindset to ever be entrepreneurial. They will go through their entire life only taking what other people give to them or allow them the chance to work for. All of their life’s choices are simply what more spirited people have created ...

The Skilled Marketer Paradox: Do Good Marketers Need Jobs?

 Look around the world of work and at job board postings and you will see a ton of positions open for digital marketers. Companies have come to realize how effective and efficient digital media and content marketing can be in generating sales and brand recognition. Now that they see the need for marketing that works for them, they are trying their best to hire marketers to do that work for them . Often in the job postings there will be a requirement for previous experience. Few if any of the open positions will accept applicants with less than 2 years of previous experience doing marketing professionally. Lots of these positions even want 7-9 years experience. And they don't just want experience, they want proven results. They want marketers who can show them how they made an impact on the businesses they have worked for before. They want to see traffic and rankings growth. They want to see sales and conversions growth. But I see this as fundamentally unreasonable and impossible. I...
