The Specials this Week are

Pick the Brain is talking about deciding for yourself.
One of the most popular articles I’ve ever written covered the subject of building self confidence. The chief criticism of this article was that you can’t just decide to be confident. You either have confidence or you don’t.

The Confidence Feedback Loop


Flooring the Customer is talking about getting local about being global.
In preparation for a trip to Mexico, I needed Pesos. I regularly make use of ATMs to obtain foreign currency. But, I also like to have some foreign currency in my pocket as I get off the plane in case I can’t find an ATM at the airport.

Citibank: Are You Listening?


The Copywriter Underground is talking about telling your story.

How to Pitch New Clients, How to Pick Them, and Why You’d Want to do Either


WowNDad! is talking about fact and opinion.
Subjective information lives inside of the mind, it comes from an insider perspective.

Objective information comes from an outsider perspective, it is the things that multiple people can observe and agree upon.

As a Matter of Fact, That is a Matter of Opinion – Tune Up Your Thinking


Lisa Sabin-Wilson is talking about seeing the light.
A few months ago, she just disappeared without a word. She didn’t just vanish – – she left, in her wake, seven projects in various stages of completion. Some almost completely done… some only halfway done…. some just started. Seven of them.

Optimism Tax Paid in Full


the Art of Non-Conformity is talking about connectedness.
See, I’ve never used Myspace… or Facebook… and hardware-wise, I don’t have a Blackberry or an expensive MacBook laptop. I just have Gmail, a $3 Skype microphone I bought in Belgrade last year, and a $500 Dell laptop that does everything I need.

So, about that social networking thing…


Related ala carte selections include

The Ripple Effect has started a cliffhanger.
“My boy almost everyone I meet at a Starbucks is fascinating. They all have a story and so desperately want to tell it and will…all you have to do is ask.”
