Happy Blogtipping September 1 All Ready? Go!

Three Optimists

Everyone has those people they know that are always up and making others feel positive about what’s going on. I know at least three that I count as special that I want to tip my blog to.

Here’s how it works.

That’s all there is to it.

1. Starbucker I tip my blog to you because

  • You blog like you live — with verve and spirit, dancing through the ideas and over the keys. It makes visiting your blog a pleasure.
  • You posts are about real things and real ideas, but you don’t take yourself or them too seriously. There’s always that touch that says you know there are so many things that aren’t worth worrying too hard about.
  • You haven’t forgotten what fun is. You know how to play and how to be a friend.

    • My blog tip: Be careful driving in those mountains. Don’t be thinking of blog posts going around those hairpin turns.

    2. Mike Sansone I tip my blog to you because

  • Your blogging style is all about relationships. I always find myself staying longer and reading more than just a single post.
  • You’re such a warm, authentic presence. I feel better just listening to your point of view on business.
  • When you study an idea or subject, you never lose track of the human side of it. I feel proud to know you.

    • My blog tip: You seem to have so much going on. I can’t keep track of it all.

    3. Tom Vander WellI tip my blog to you because

  • You’re always celebrating someone else’s success.
  • You’re constantly curious about how you might make the world a better place.
  • It’s obvious that you listen actively to what your readers say. It shows in your comments.

    • My blog tip: Don’t forget to give one of those gold mugs to yourself.

    Thanks to all three of you for making my blogging life a nicer place to be.

    –Me “Liz” Strauss

      Wow, then double Wow:-) Compliments like these will make my hair turn red:-)

      Thanks for the tip Liz – I do need to focus on tasks – but oh the people…I’m lovin’ the people (and getting some back from folks a bunch-fold)

      And to be sandwiched between the two passionate coffee drinkers as Starbucker and the MugClub guy…nice!

      I typed this with my eyes plugged just in case:-) :::thanks ann – right back atcha:::

      Oh Mike,
      Your comment says everything about why we love you. It’s about the people. YEAH! And aren’t they the best at giving back what you give?

      I wasn’t telling you to pay attention to work, man. I was saying I was amazed at how much you get done!

      You three are a sweet trio and one day I hope to get you all to take me dancing’ You can bring your wives . . . Ann and I will bring our husbands. :)

      You picked 3 GREAT guys! Each of them are absolutely fabulous, and are some of my favorite SOBs on the planet (and I mean that in only the most positive of ways!) :)

      Liz, I’ve come to greatly admire and respect your love and nuturing of this genre (and all of us neophytes), so I am humbled and honored by your compliments (and also pleased to be in such good company with my friends Mike and Tom). Keep inspiring us, and I’m looking forward to our “convention” in Chicago this spring (no, I haven’t forgotten that!). All the best.

      See what I mean, Starbucker. I give you guys a compliment and what do you do? You turn it around and give it back to me! :)

      You’re the best and I’d love to meet every one of you! That Successful Blog convention in Chicago idea of yours is so very cool.

      Sorry I’m late to the party (I’ve been away from the blogosphere for a few days focused on post-op care for my lovely bride). Thanks, Liz! It’s great to get blog-tipped and I’m honored to be in such good company with sensei-Sansone and my good friend, Starbucker!
