The Mic Is On: Joe Hauckes Wants to Know Your Business

by

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.

Birthday Poetry from the Successful-Blog Poet Laureate

An Ode to Successful Blog (and Liz)

by Joe

With such wonder two years ago I found
A New Blog that was friendly and conversations abound
It was inviting and different in this new place
The Blogger wanted to know each and every new face

As each new comment and bit of banter grew
The conversation, it wandered around and started anew
A bright idea Liz had one Tuesday Night
“Open Comments!” she said to everyone’s delight

From there, as before, as time went on
Another idea Liz had, it was S.O.B.con!
The year was ’07 and all were invited
including me, and I was just so excited

All the new friends I made that weekend
Helped improve my Blogging to no end
And a nudge in business, referrals I guess
Came about from my new friends all, no less!

It depends on how you measure Success
But my new friends ’round here have given me
Happiness!

Happy Blog B-Day Successful Blog!

and Liz, Just Stay The Way You Are… (hear the song?)

Thank you, Joe.

Will You Make Joe's Promise with Me?

by

I've been thinking . . .

about Joe’s promise.

About a week ago, Joe wrote a post that’s been on my mind.

It’s authenticity. It’s transparency. It’s more than that . . . it’s outright honesty without a filter and it came with a promise attached.

It’s a stunning example of writing.

Even more, it leads to a blogger’s promise that is beautiful in its own right.

Joe’s Promise

  • I will be sure to comment on other Blogs if I can add to the conversation.
  • I will respond to comments on my own Blog.
  • I will acknowledge any links to my Blog with a comment on the linker’s Blog.
  • I will continue to link to other Blogs that are pertinent to a posts content.
  • I will once again be a part of the Blogging Community.
  • That is my promise to the Community as a whole, in part, and individually.

If you feel you are losing some of the interaction that is an integral part of Blogging, you may want to join me in this Promise to the Community.

What I’ve been thinking is this . . . this is a promise worth making.

Will you make Joe’s promise with me?

Just pick up the words, post them on your blog, and link back to Joe’s post. Tag it “Joe’s Promise,” and pass it on.

What do you say, Chris, Ann, Phil, Terry, Bes, and everyone?

Thank you, Joe, from me . . . and from everyone who cares about the conversation.
