It’s a unique quality that is specific to every human being. Everyone is a brand. Try this little experiment. Wear your best friends clothes for a week. See if people notice a difference. What they notice is your one-of-a-kind style has now changed, although subtle (sometimes not so…), it can get big attention. Personal branding is huge [...]

Branding today, just as it has been throughout history, is simply a way of putting your mark on something so as to tell the rest of the world, “This is mine; if you see it, it belongs to me. If you mess with it, I have the right to mess you up.” – Imagine the [...]

Twitterpated

In the past 30 (or so) months I have been using Twitter, I have been able to make more friends, network more business connections, build business connections for other people and deepen the connection with those who find what I have to say useful (My Tribe). For starters, I have to admit – I didn’t [...]

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 [...]

Progress

Driving though the progressive town of Manor, TX on Halloween night just before sunset, I came across something quite peculiar – a large QR code hanging from a fence that bordered a small city park. I decided to investigate. What I found amazed me. Manor (pronounced MAY-ner), Texas, this tiny town just east of Austin, [...]

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

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

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 [...]

I Am No Chris Brogan

I was reading this morning when I came across an interesting article by Chris Brogan titled, “Don’t Be Chris Brogan“ In the article he uses the examples of two other very famous writers, Brian Clark of Copyblogger Media fame and Seth Godin of…well, many-many-many books and blogs. As an up and coming writer (blogging site [...]
