A couple of years ago, another Biznik tweeted me telling me I had Klout.
I noticed that he'd spelled the word incorrectly, but upon closer investigation, I discovered he was talking about KLOUT, not clout (LOL)
Surprisingly, there is no collective or association of yoga professionals in Portland.
My vision is to facilitate the creation of a thriving yoga business community (and their allies) that provides active support and education in at least 4 areas (rooted in the yogic philosophy of unity and oneness):
This is the very early stage, so if this resonates with you, please join me in the inquiry & formulation stage to get his party started!
What do you think?
Who would you like to invite to participate?
Hello Everyone,
I will be visiting Bellingham next week to support my partner at his book reading at Village Books, and I would like to connect with some Bellingham Bizniks.
I'm thinking of doing a Happy Hour or something (any suggestions?) with a specific theme/focus to drive making meaningful connections.
Would any of you like to cohost with me?
I'm thinking Thursday 10/27 or possibly Friday 10/28.
What say you?
Google+ has hit the world by storm, even though it's still in beta.
It's too early to tell whether it will have staying power, but I wonder what you who already are testing out Google+ think it's role in Business Collaboration might be?
How might YOU use it to enhance business collaboration?
(By the way, you can check out my Google+ profile is http://gplus.to/tshombe. What's yours?)
The Internet (especially with Social Media) has (almost) imposed upon us a sort of requisite transparency.
What do you consider when deciding whether something about you is (or should be) private or public?
How much do you share about yourself and why?
Were you able to attend the
Portland first screening of SHINE at Souk co-working space on
Saturday, April 2?
Did the film change your view of entrepreneruship?
Or, did it validate it?
(Or, a little bit of both?)
How? In what ways?
Has anyone used SlideShare? What was your experience?
(Ditto for LeadShare :-)
Hi Everyone!
Later this month I get to interview Zig Ziglar's son, Tom Ziglar! It's super-exciting, to say the least.
(Hip, Hip. Hooray!)
If you could ask Tom any question in world about sales, marketing, Life, his dad, spirituality and business, etc., what would that be?
I am collecting responses on Twitter. Just tweet your question and add the hashtag: #AskTomZiglar
Alternatively, you can post your question here for me to ask Tom during the interview.
There's magic in public testimony. What will you accomplish before the end of the year?
Stating it before the Universe and everyone is the first step toward success!
Hello Biznik Gang!
I've entered the Best
Coaching Blogs 2009 contest that officially begins today
(June 1), and I'm pretty excited!
There are lots of great contenders (45 coaching blogs in total), and
since the blog I entered is relatively new, I'm up against stiff
competition.
Will you help me out with a little Biznik
Love?
This week (June 1-7) is the "Qualifying Phase," so I'm seeking your
votes and positive comments.
My blog is TheMagneticEntrepreneur.com.
I encourage you to check out all of the great coaching blogs in the
various niches (but be sure to cast your vote and positive comments for TheMagneticEntrepreneur.com!).
Thanks much for your support :-)
I'm considering the BatchBook CRM. It appears to offer great features at a very reasonable cost.
Anyone have experience with it?
Hi Everyone!
I'm putting together a special report to support sales professionals and need your help choosing a title. Will you fill out my quick 2-question survey?
Thank you!
OK Fabulous Biznik Folks! We have a Biznik in Need (sort of!) to support and I'm appealing to all of YOU.
Karrie Kohlhaas who has and continues to contribute amazing talent and expertise to our Biznik community has entered the esteemed Intuit competition and we can help her win (or at least be in the running).
Read her article submission, rate it (positively, of course), and offer accolades in the form of your comments.
Yes, you have to register at Intuit in order to offer a comment, but let's go the extra mile for Karrie, a fellow Biznik.
Wouldn't you want the same for you?
And isn't this what Biznik is all about? Supporting one another to be great?
Do it NOW while you're thinking of it, since Friday 4/24 is the deadline!
Who knew Twitter could be used to find JV opportunities? Check it out, and let us know what you think.
Pretty Cool, huh?
I was just looking at my profile at the top area where is says "Add IM" and I thought "Wouldn't it be great to have a link to our Twitter accounts?"
I suppose this really is a question for Dan and whether it's a big deal to implement or not, but I wondered what the community-at-large's thoughts on this are. (?)
Just read an article on CopyBlogger on Five
Tips for a Successful Freelance Writing Career. In
short, they are:
What do you think? Are these tips useful to you?
Or, do you find some other daily routine conducive to work?
How do you structure your workday (or night!)?
I just read a
CNN article describing President Obama's appeal to both the
United States of America and the European Union 'to drop negative
attitudes toward each other and to adopt "unprecedented coordination" '
in it's place.
I believe this principle should be embraced wholeheartedly among
entrepreneurs.
Your thoughts?
If you could spend an hour learning the techniques of any expert, strategist, or teacher in the field of sales and marketing in the world, who would it be?
Not sure if you are aware of this, but Tim Ferriss, the author of The
Four Hour Workweek, is donating (in conjunction with an
anonymous donor) $3 for every person who follows him on Twitter up to
50,000 followers.
As a "bribe" to get people to follow him (which he probably doesn't
need to do, since he's quite popular already), he has collaborated with
others to give every follower 3 valuable gifts worth $168 per follower.
I just followed Tim,
and encourage you to do so, too.
It's certainly a great cause. Beyond that, it's also a
wonderful study-in-action of the power of joint ventures,
collaboration, engaging social media with a clear focus, and leveraging
the contacts and influence of others.
Still unconvinced?
Check out the details for
yourself. But act
quickly. I wish I'd discovered it before now, as
this great social experiment ends tomorrow (March 30, 2009) at 3:30 pm
Eastern Time.
Whether you choose to follow Tim or not, how might an entrepreneur similarly benefit themselves and others from studying/implementing an initiative like this?
I recently had a couple of experiences on Facebook that illustrate how NOT to build relationships online, and I'm thinking about hosting an event or writing an article on this very topic.
I'd love to get your feedback, ideas, and experiences.
So, here's the question on the table: "How to Lose Friends (before you even make them!) and Alienate People on Facebook"
(This is about Facebook in particular, though many of the principles can be applied to social networking in general -- though it should be noted that different forms of the media have some differences in how you approach and utilize them)
