Where Do Circus People Run Away to?

So running away isn’t such a good idea … BUT, if you could set up work anywhere, where would you be right now? How could balance what you’re doing with where you’d most love to do it?

And what would you be doing?

Oh, and bring example links.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice.

The Mic Is On: It’s Barry Moltz Talking About Failure

Filed Under SOB Business, Successful Blog | 170 Comments

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

GUEST HOST: AUTHOR BARRY MOLTZ on FAILURE

Bounce! The Path to True Business Confidence

Tonight at Open Comments, Barry J. Moltz, author of Bounce!: Failure, Resiliency, and Confidence to Achieve Your Next Great Success, is our host. Join us as we discuss how to achieve true business confidence by letting go of both your failures and successes. It’s time to …

Stop letting our egos brag about our successes.
Honor our failures.
See failure as an ingredient in success.
Let go of the fear.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links.
