		<description><![CDATA[Has it already been ten years since the September 11 attacks on America?

The media is all over the story, often using the word "anniversary," to describe the significance of the ten-year mark. 

Anniversaries usually connote a celebration, which certainly seems inappropriate.  I don't know what word to suggest instead; there has never been an event like the terrorist attacks that sunny, autumn morning. 

It was an event so significant that it is now remembered through its own dramatic grammar symbol.  A cross between grammar and dramatic, you might say it's  "grammatic."  Journalists refer to the day as "9/11." ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've built a large network online and offline by facilitating introductions. 
In fact, I've developed a formula that I teach in my webinars and live seminars.  Here are the steps for introducing two people in your data base to each other:
1.  Compose an e-mail to one party and cc the other.
2.  Write something nice about each and be sure to note why they might want to connect with each other.
3.  Always reference a specific benefit to the process.
4.  Politely excuse yourself from the dialog and encourage the two to connect if and when.
People never forget when you introduce them to other worthwhile people. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, there are  lot of good reasons that a company selling 60,000 lb. steel coils should be active on Facebook, but consider an even more likely scenario, Dale.

You may not be doing what you're doing now in ten or even five years. Perhaps you'll want to start a business of your own or become a consultant one day.  Of course, you'll want to work from an existing Internet presence and fan base, both of which you can develop using Facebook and other social media platforms.  Right now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Labor Day!

This long weekend signifies the end of summer, gives folks a chance to take a breath before school the school year kicks in, and allows Americans to celebrate work?

Not many people know that Labor Day celebration has its roots in Canada.  U.S. President Grover Cleveland ushered in the first official Labor Day in 1882.  The timing and even the name of the event was largely due to the politics of the day.

Most people labor under what I call the "Work Once, Get Paid Once Model."  Hourly workers, for example, toil for 60-minutes and get paid for that 60-minutes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, I'm no Vova, so this type of juggling act might seem undesirable, but something about working on a lot of projects has been paying off. Tweet

I liken it to what happens when you know a bunch of people and some of those people start talking about you to other people and before you know it, a business referral comes through.

A similar phenomenon occurs when you are able to Tweet about something that happened to you on Facebook and you reach someone who didn't see it in the first modality.

Recently, I blogged about something in the news and then got a call from a radio station requesting an interview.

Do you see how juggling a lot of balls can pay off?

A while back, I posted a blog about how I was got a speaking gig with a government agency affiliated with the Pentagon by giving social media tips to a Facebook buddy who happened to be working for the Fed.  Rick Broida at BNET picked up the story and blasted out his version on BNET.  Pretty cool!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No country has done a better job than America when it comes to inventing,  branding, producing, marketing and of course, eating junk food.

Manny Fernandez, of the New York Times, has written an article on some of the great moments in junk-food history:

1896

Two street vendor brothers, Frederick and Louis Rueckheim, sold a popcorn, molasses and peanuts confection at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. By 1896, they had perfected their recipe and called it "Cracker Jack."]]></description>

“Speaking is the easiest money I have ever made because I get paid to talk about my passions and help people at the same time. The other revenue streams I have created from this are just icing on the cake.  Thanks, Michael, for showing me how!”       -Steve Holt, author of The Facebook Guide For Small Business,  Martin, TN]]></description>

Philanthropy has become a serious passion for me, especially my work with Rotary. I love giving back and helping others do the same. Last November, I used my massive social media network to get a computer donated to an unemployed, single mom. Got her a printer, too. :-)


Giving is getting

Yes, Facebook fans, my birthday is on Sunday! So I got you a present. It's not a traditional gift, but I wanted to show you some appreciation for staying on my list and hanging in there with me.]]></description>

Why not recycle good vibrations, too?  Compliments, for example, can be re-purposed over and over.  Do it right and hardly anyone will think you are bragging on yourself.

Consider how Dean La Doucer, Executive Director of the Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce in Michigan introduced me at a speaking gig last week:]]></description>
