Its There Early Bird Gets It It really is about being the Early Bird. A lot of people these days think that just because they heard that creating a blog is free, and with enough time and passion they could win, that they will. It really just isn't true. You can be the best showman there is, but without a product it is over. You can have the best product and be the worst showman and the same fate can occur. It is being the best you can possibly be, having an innovative product, and having a design and message that completely separates you from the rest that will make it happen. The rest is how much you actively reach out to your prospects and consumers. |

The Respect Factor with Gary Vaynerchuk
There is a certain respect that comes with the territory. A lot of you Big Wigs don't quite get it, and would learn a lot from Gary Vaynerchuk if you just paid attention. I don't mean watching a few videos and claiming you know what he is about. I am talking about analyzing your competition and understanding the magnitude of how much they mean to their consumers. It may be something age only defines, or maybe it is the times we live in. What is certain is that I have a certain respect for Gary Vaynerchuk that will last no matter what our futures holds. |

This Game We Call Social Media Is Changing "This Game We Call Social Media Is Changing." There is so much white noise that people have learned to ignore most of it.

Courage Courage is an integral part of the self branding process. Many people confuse courage with reaching out or simply just being an anti-procrastinator. Perseverance in the eye of the beholder is essential for moving forward with the building of your brand. Courage, however, takes on a very different kind of problem. Many people actually keep themselves back from success when they finally do get the chance to reach out and make their self a rock star overnight. |

Lights, Camera, Action! I can't tell you how many times I have heard around the vlogger world - big wigs - saying how you need to be more authentic, more genuine. No edits, no scripts. Just action; from the hip. That is crap. Even though I often shoot from the hip, you do what you think will produce the best content for you. It does not matter if it is written, audio, or blog (even though I feel blogs will become obsolete in 2010). |

Where I stand I look to several mentors for support in educating myself. Many people, even my mentors, would rather take others' content and use it to their advantage, then they would give the credit to whom they learn from. I actively promote my mentors because not only do I appreciate them for what I have learned from them, but I know other things that separate me from them which makes me unique and valuable to the new cause. |
