October 2, 2009 by Liz

SB Cafe

IZEAFest Edition

This weekend I get the pleasure of speaking at IZEAFest at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. What an awesome experience that was and how cool to be among so many Internet friends. You can out more about the experience and how to be part of it at IZEAFest.com

izeafest

My conversation, Navigating and Networking in the Seamless Concrete-Virtual Universe, is about the question How can you leverage relationships to become successful in business? Naturally personal identity, an irresistible offer, conversation, and community online and offline will be important and featured throughout.

The Specials this Week are

Ten posts that inspired my IZEAFest talk.

Internet Fame, Leaps of Faith, and the Truth from Guy

Internet famous isn’t “Oprah famous” . . . not even close . . . and the Internet forgets quickly.

When I asked Internet Rockstar, Guy Kawasaki, about what bloggers should know about blogging as business, he said. …


Enough About Me, Let’s Talk About What You Think

I call him up. He answers.
I say, “Hi, Eddie, how am I?”
He replies, “Oh, you’re fine. What do you think of me?”


Cool Kids, Granny Dresses, and Back Channel Intercoms: How Do You Trust People You Can’t See?

I heard them talk and laugh. They were talking “cool talk” about how cool they were and how cool I was not.


A Barn Raisers Guide: 7 Ways to Leave the Field of Dreams to Build a Thriving Reality

Barn Raisers avoid the risk by building the community as they build the site. They believe that people will help build a powerful idea. Barn Raisers invite collaboration from the people they’ll be serving and so what they build is often a gathering place for people even before it’s fully finished.


Why Play the Game, If We Aren’t Playing for Keeps?

I was in the game, but I wasn’t playing with all that was in me.

I looked around and saw I wasn’t the only one that was holding back.


Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Chris Brogan!

He was instant community. He was kind of like Tom Sawyer. He could smile around a corner.


Is Your Strategy About Winning Opportunities?

Strategy isn’t a plan, a decision, a goal, a destination.
It’s a tool for leveraging who you are, what you know, where you are, the environment, and how people think and respond to each other. Strategy is a system for improving your position.


The Traffic Game, Auditioning Ants, and How Communities Grow

… by the time I came along, the neighborhood wasn’t much more than a huge space that people came to eat and sleep.

How Do You Get a Community to Help Build Your Business?

The beauty of enlisting a social media community from the start is that communities only have time for ideas that will work.


Extreme Hesitation and Extreme Strategy: Are You Willing to Own Your Life?

Because deeply knowing where you’re going is irresistibly attractive.
