Calendrical

23 November 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, No Comments

This time of year the calendar becomes like our best friend, but what about the beginning of the next year? Take a little time this holiday season to plan the next year. If not the whole year, perhaps just the first three months. You’ll be amazed at how productive your next year will be if [...]

SPCOD

15 November 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, 2 Comments

The Future! I think a lot about the future. I guess that makes me a type of futurist or more accurately a futurologists. I don’t try to predict coming events, but I can spend an inordinate amount of time imagining what possibilities the future holds for humanity. Everyone has seen those magazine covers illustrating flying [...]

Dichotomy

…Or “Schools of Thought” “All that we achieve or fail to achieve is the direct result of our thoughts.” Wrote James Allen, in 1903. His seminal classic, As A Man Thinketh, inspired a thought in me this morning that I felt compelled to share with you. I’ve heard this theme repeat in my years [...]

Capillarity

22 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, 4 Comments

Last night I was at a local mixer when a young man, Chris Contreras (@AustinVisMedia), came up to me and told me how much he enjoyed reading my blog. Thank you Chris, you have no idea how energizing it is to hear that what we do/write makes a difference; that someone is actually listening. I [...]

Plan B

19 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, No Comments

Why we need a backup plan or “How I stopped worrying and loved the economy” Everyone needs a “Plan B”, a backup plan. When it comes to this economy we should all take a lesson from life and mentally lock away what we learned about losing our one source of income or the one home [...]

Philosophy

16 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in #WhyGuy, No Comments

Share – Engage – Connect Share: Let’s face it. The fact that social media even exists is due to the “share factor.” In her article, Witness Me, Claire Wagner nails the topic with laser precision. We want to let the world know we’re, “having a foot long sandwich from Subway.” Why? We’re social. It’s embedded in [...]

Epiphany

9 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, 4 Comments

I had the most amazing thought today. I know this sounds a little farfetched, but bear with me. About three years ago I was stuck on asking myself the same question over and over again. “How can I get whatever I want, and nothing I don’t want?” I know this may sound like one of [...]

Read-ationships

I was having coffee this morning with my friend and colleague when she asked me a perplexing question. “Would you suggest I get a blog or a twitter handle.” My response was, “What are your intentions?” Let’s face it; how you plan to blog is as important as what you blog. Why are they going [...]

Why the Why Guy?

3 October 2010 by Joey McGirr in Just Writing, No Comments

Here’s a little story about me. In my youth I was your typical “Nice Guy.” And as the saying goes, “nice guys finish last.” Regardless of what you believe about the above statement, nice guys tend to be a little more trusting (even when they know better) and the inevitable always happens; they finish last.
