I learned this from Guy Kawasaki and if you ever hear any of his speeches you’ll understand why. In essence, it keeps the audience alert and they’ll learn more from you than someone who just educates. Learn to tell stories.

When you begin employing staff you need to quickly learn how to not only manage them, but also how to help them achieve their best. Allow your staff time to come to you with ideas or questions; you’ll learn a lot about your business and might even discover an avenue you’d never thought of taking. I look forward to connecting with you!

JANUARY 13, 2009

Social networking became the trendiest way to stay connected in 2008. For instance, can I represent you, by posting links to your newest blog posts and responding to all your Twitter DM’s, forwarding to you just the ones I think you’ll want to review? I think this raises some ethical dilemmas.
