Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: Let's Talk About Sibling Rivalries!

by

Join Us Tonight

We sometimes have problems with folks who share our spaces. They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Is that the way it was growing up for you with your siblings? We might talk about the love between brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, aunts and uncles… you get the idea, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about sibling rivalries.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

The Mic is On: It's About Time Management!

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

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.

Let’s start with:

  • How do we track our time?
  • What makes us lose track of it?
  • Do we bill by the hour?
  • Do we lose money when we do that?
  • How do we make sure we have time for things we want to do?

And, we’ll talk about 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 links about time management to share!

Everybody Wants to Learn Something!

It’s true. No one can do everything that they would like to. We can’t dream up and build every idea we conceive without learning a thing or two. What would you like to learn

  • to do,
  • to make,
  • to try,
  • to craft,
  • to understand,
  • or to be better at.

Oh, and bring links to thinks you can teach or want to learn.
