Jeremy Wright, SOB Coming and Going

May 28, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

What Jeremy Has

Jeremy Wright has plenty to do.
He has his own blog, a whole blog network to run, and THE book on blog marketing.
He has plenty of email.
He has plenty of jobs.
He has plenty of people who need plenty of things from him — even on weekends and holidays.

Yet he manages to have plenty of patience, spirit, and competence.

He helps move mountains and then says what he did was simple. Maybe it is sometimes, but that is always his attitude. It’s hard to find a better guy than Jeremy Wright. Don’t bother trying. I know.

I left for last, this other things he has . . .

He has the respect of everyone who knows him.

To Jeremy, the SOB

Jeremy,

It’s about time I called you an SOB. You truly are a Successful and Outstanding Blogger and a Successful and Outstanding Human Being. I guess that makes you an SOB coming and going.

You make us all better. I’ve learned so much just by watching you.

Thanks, Jeremy, for everything.

Blogtipping Day–Where’s Yours?

May 1, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

Link Love Costs Nothing

Easton Ellsworth at Blogwire declared today official Blogtipping Day and I’m in. How about you? As
the song goes “Give a little bit . . .” Here’s how it works.

Choose three or more bloggers you admire and link to them,
List three reasons why you admire each one.
Then add a tip at the end.

That’s all there is to it.

Janice Myint

Janice is the best at her job. She knows what she’s doing.
Every email and message is filled with smiles and energy. I feel like a valued customer every time she talks to me.
She takes on big complaints as personal quest, and tackles them like a warrior.

Tip: Janice, be careful. The whole blogosphere is going to be proposing marriage to you, and trying to steal you away.

Jeremy Wright

Jeremy’s a great guy with a heart as big as the world.
He works hard, doing thousands of things, but never loses his humanity.
He makes things happen for other people and asks nothing in return.

Tip: Jeremy, don’t wear yourself out. We need you just as you are.

Brian Clark

Brian teaches me more about writing every time I read his blog.
He has been a friend to me beyond the call of duty.
I feel lucky to have him in my address book.

Tip: Brian, stop, breathe and look at what you’ve built. It’s fabulous.

That was fun. I hope I get time to do more before the day is over.

Successful Blog Moves Back to the City–b5media

February 6, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

Sometimes Success means Failing Faster. For sure it means knowing when to make things right.

Two Personal Heroes

I don’t have many personal heroes or maybe I have too many personal heroes. I guess that depends on how you define them. I do know this–two of them are my dad and business giant Tom Peters who taught me the principle above.

I’ve been talking and listening to all of you since we left 9rules/Fine Fools about where we might focus Successful-Blog. You’ve had great suggestions, given me super advice. You’ve loved some of the changes. Others, well, you’ve not liked so much. In the end, I have to admit that when all of the ideas are thought through and filtered, the answer is that Successful-Blog doesn’t belong in the Wild, Wild West.

We’re moving back to the city where we belong.

That’s why when you clicked in this morning you see some changes, the ads are gone . . . there might just be a few bumps here and there. Last night we moved servers and this morning we are are with

b5 media.

I want to thank everyone at Erati and Blog Media for all they have done for Successful-Blog to make us feel part of the family. You were heroes in how you saw Successful-Blog’s need to move. I really appreciate that.

More Personal Heroes

I want the world to know that I went to b5media, not the other way around. You already know that Jeremy, Darren, Shai, and Duncan are personal heroes. This move has only shown me what good reason I had for having those feelings. They made things happen quickly, painlessly, and I look forward to learning and growing with them. I also look forward to learning more from you.

Isn’t that what success is all about?
