Woo-hoo! Love it when I hit the jugular. Especially my own… gah.

It takes a lot of courage to focus on what feels true rather than what people will respond to, especially when your company gets larger and more people are depending on your ability to produce.

I get it. it’s good a thing you’ve learned the lesson once already at least- it won’t be that hard to apply it here.

And thank goodness many of us are geeky…

Wow, hit the jugular on this one!

Sometimes I catch myself twittering then checking how many people RT! Yikes! Guilty as charged. I gently remind myself that’s not the point. =-0

My big shift in my work (and life) has been to stop creating what I think people will respond to and to do what is emanating from the inside…

then trust that the RIGHT people will align with it.

Very freeing in that place and definitely the exact opposite of how I was trained in marketing.

Thanks for a poignant message Mark.

Just dealt with a blog-freeze this week.

You’re so right about looking at what need you’re (I’m) trying to get fulfilled by your writing, and getting it outside of the business, then coming back to the ‘real’ people.

It took me years to learn this when running ‘real-life’ classes.

Now time to learn it in blogging.

My current hard: blogging as me (rather than The Expert) makes me feel like an awkward teenager sometimes – having the cool gang invite me to their parties *does* feel good…

Thing is, a lot of us here in online land are here because we are a *little* shy/geeky so even the cool ones aren’t really *that* different…

Thanks for the reminder, Mark – something for me to keep an eye on as things progress.

Mark, thank you. This is such a timely reminder. It is so easy to become habituated to praise, and that habit can so quickly block the flow between us and our just right clients. You rock, my friend.
