Measuring itself is not the goal. Don’t get stuck in the rabbit hole of trying to track everything that’s interesting. Track the stuff that helps you realize if you’re edging toward your goals, in this case goals that align with lead gen, online activities, or sales through online channels. You want a reasonable level of confidence that what you’re doing is having a positive impact, or some data to hint that you might need to adjust your approach.altitudebranding.com, Practical Social Media Measurement: Leads, Conversions, Sales, Jan 2010
I’ve heard this song several times but today I really felt like it spoke to me. Here is a video which captures the story quite well and they’ve used the ‘Sims 2′ game to create it…
Now tell me, and be honest, are you working so hard that you loose sight of the people you love all around you? Are you missing out on the opportunity to live while grinding it out each day just to live better? I’d really like to hear what you have to say on this subject. So please leave me a comment below.
Welcome to the Coldplay End of Decade Sale. For the first 24 hours, we want you to be able to have a good look through the official auction catalogue, which contains details and pictures of all the lots which will be up for grabs.
The sale itself will then begin tomorrow at 5pm. There will be four waves of the auction, as follows:
Friday 18 December -- All items related to Parachutes era
Saturday 19 December -- All items related to A Rush Of Blood To The Head era
Sunday 20 December -- All items related to X&Y era
Monday 21 December -- All items related to Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends era
All auctions will last for 10 days, with the final auction ending on 31 December 2009.
In addition, because we wanted to make sure that some of the items go to Coldplay fans with more modest funds, one copy of each signed lithograph in the auction will be made available as a first-come, first-served Buy It Now item, for £10 (plus shipping). These items will appear on the coldplaykidscoauction eBay page at random times throughout the duration of the auction.
Remember, all proceeds will go to Kids Company, an incredible charity that helps vulnerable children and young people in London.
If you’re a collector of memorabilia or just a Coldplay fan, get in there and start bidding!
Remember, it’s for the children…
One more thing, leave a comment below and let me know what you think of this band and their contributions to humanity.
I came across this video of Steve Jobs this morning and felt like sharing it with all of you. If you have 15 minutes of precious time to really listen to something profound and be inspired, then watch this video below…
One of my favorite quotes from this speech is “Remembering That I’ll Be Dead Soon Is The Most Important Tool I’ve Ever Encountered To Help Me Make The Big Choices In Life.” For me, it’s not enough to just live every day like it’s your last. You must do something with the time you are given so it’s not wasted.
Yet another thing Steve mentioned was looking back on the path and choices that led him to the life he lives today. No planning could have been implemented, modified or carried out to achieve the same result. Looking ahead was not the key to his success only close attention to the ‘here and now’ and taking action coupled with passionate determination. Looking back can’t change the past… looking ahead can’t tell the future… but living without fear and forging ahead each day with faith will bring a better tomorrow.
What is the most important message you received from Steve’s speech? Please leave a comment in the box below and let me know how you feel.
The Power of Now has been widely recognized as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. A #1 New York Times bestseller, it has been translated into over 30 languages. The book has helped countless people around the globe awaken to the spiritual dimension in their lives, find inner peace, increased joy and more harmonious relationships.
To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the beginning of the first chapter we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where one breathes a lighter air, the air of the spiritual. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to guide us. The words themselves are the signposts.
For many of us there are new discoveries to be made along the way: we are not our mind; we can find our way out of psychological pain; authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now. Continue reading »
Today I was dealing with my struggle of focused attention and focused energy which brought on feelings of frustration and stress. Sometimes it’s the unseen obstacles that hurt us the most. The ones we forget are there and slowly eat away at our time, energy and eventually our money.

Today I took another step towards overcoming my video marketing obstacle. Check out this video and see how much I’ve improved from my last video.
Knowledge Plus Action Equals Results
For over ten months now I’ve been DILIGENTLY searching, ultimately finding and absorbing everything there is to know about affiliate marketing, network marketing, video marketing and every tip, trick or tactic available on the Internet.
Basically I was set on becoming a successful entrepreneur no matter what, there was just a few MAJOR pieces missing to my marketing efforts.
Now, it wasn’t that I didn’t KNOW what these pieces where… in fact I had them from day one, I just didn’t develop the proper mindset to put them into play. Continue reading »
