Awesome!
It fits in perfectly with what i’m trying to acheive at the moment getting back into blogging. I dropped it due to other commitments and now realized how much dedication it actually takes – something I don’t want to get caught up in.

I’ve found doing the things your scared most effective (so you don’t avoid it) if you go and forcefully put yourself in a situation where you just have to go and do something – [ Sit on a bus with a laptop and start working, force yourself to keep going to the end ]

Well, I already read Duct Tape Marketing and Big Brand System. Looks like I’ll have to add the others to the list.

Thanks!

Good stuff Carmen! A few of those suggested blogs were new to me and I enjoyed perusing them. I like to be able to acquire blogging tips for my clients (and myself)! Great idea on the video allowing the reading of transcript – sounds like a great SEO tip for high-video content sites as well.
Best of luck – Monty Simao

Those are all fantastic blogs… I have to Double Recommend John Jantsch. I have been reading his blog for a few years now and there are very few people that combine real world marketing with the digital technology.

Great resource here thanks!

Hey Tom, I’m so glad you were able to find a few new blogs through this video. And thanks for your kind words about my presence and production! There are still a lot of improvements I’d like to make production-wise, and I will, but I think it’s important to get things going instead of waiting till everything is perfect. Thanks for stopping by, Tom.

Hey Annika, you make such a great point about surrounding yourself with the right people. That’s so true! If the folks around me had said “yeah it’s not a good idea, don’t do it,” things would have turned out very differently. Thanks for the insights, and I can’t really imagine you waffling.

This was so timely for me right now as I’m entering into the big-time marketing phase for my first Wilderness Retreat. It was so helpful to hear about your situation that was SO PUBLIC and how you got through it. This was just the boost, the tipping point I needed right this minute to get back to the emails I need to write and send to folks inviting them to not only come on the retreat but promote it. EEEEEK!
Thanks again!

Carmen,

Awesome video. You have a great presence and your production is really great. Your suggestions are very helpful and to the point. I read about half of those blogs on a regular basis and love them. I’ll have to check out the other 3 1/2! It’s inspiring to see business owners helping others out. Thanks for the great video and suggestions!
