Many posts on MikeWriting.com are made with a lot of love. I wonder sometimes if I’m wasting that level of effort that could be being put into writing book. Maybe wasting isn’t the best term. I wonder if I should be redirecting that level of attention into book content. But then I think that each…

I have a little more motivation to tighten my blog post draft process because of Podcasting Blogger. It will be my third live blog. I’m taking a really, really long time to draft the third and final piece of the Defining Success Series for Mike Writing. I think three weeks have passed since part two.…

I got an invitation to write a guest post on a friend’s new blog. It’s my first invitation to guest write. Feels pretty damn good. I’m looking forward to dive in. Because of course I accepted. This is the kind of thing that lets audiences cross paths. I already have ideas. First, I plan to…

I’m excited about doors opening. I got a chance to network with an entrepreneur in Canada. And even getting set up for the courtesy consult was a little bit nerve-racking. It was like ‘what questions do I ask?’. How do I keep from geeking out and being super technical about their business? I put myself…

I like stories. I have always appreciated how a story can emphasize a point. Outliers: The Story of Success* by Malcolm Gladwell has been one of my favorite books because of this format. I’m writing a book. First, I decided on the why of the book. The who was tricky, but I knew I wouldn’t…

Today I woke up with the song in my head What You Won’t Do for Love by Bobby Caldwell. I like to think songs get stuck up there randomly, but who knows? I still try to rationalize a song’s significance – every time. In my reading into the chorus, I remembered an epiphany I had…
