Waking Up Sleeping Giants

Cube Rules recalls how ” . . . a Google Alert sent me to a brand new web site and presented me with a great kernel of truth written in a way that is both inspiring — and obvious for those of us searching for the truths of career management.”

Careers Don’t Work This Way Anymore

Sunny Schlenger says, “In Neale Donald Walsh’s workshop at Celebrate Your Life, he said that there are two basic questions to ask of life, and that it’s extremely important to put them in the right order.”

Two Questions

lifehack.org points out that “Emailing an expert — or anyone you don’t know personally — to ask for assistance or input requires some finesse, and done well it’s far from the easy way out. . . . unless you give them a compelling reason to be interested in you and your project, they have nothing to gain by helping you.”

How to Email a Stranger

The Lonely Marketer advises “If you’re a marketing manager wanting to jump into social media, but your superiors are hesitant to give budget for the effort, you really need to think out how to position the medium.”

    Hi Patrick!
    I enjoyed your article. It’s solid information in an area where there’s a ton of speculation — social media. :)

    Fantastic - reading the Two Questions article really made me smile. I’m not sure why, but it gives me the feeling that I’m on track with things. I love that feeling - “sit back, chill, you’re doin’ alright, just keep on keepin’ on.”
