Katie Couric Hot Husbands Twitter Contest: Some Thank Yous

Katie

So…I won.

And I’ll warn you now, if you’re getting sick of all this, just click out and close the browser. This one it going to get a little cheesy.

That said, in spirit of the upcoming Grammy Awards, I’d like to thank a few people. Reason being, if not for these folks, I totally wouldn’t have gone through with this experience. I would’ve backed out and missed a ton of fun.

As I’ve grown older and seen them fail miserably, I’ve stopped writing resolutions. I mean, I still get that fresh sense of hope that comes with a New Year, all the potential of a new beginning, but I never really write down or focus on any goals.

I’m writing personal mission statements.

qr code ideas

I want you to know that I’m really not a hater. I don’t often rant or judge, because, well…I don’t necessarily know-it-all. I’m not a big fan of know-it-alls. Especially, in the digi-marketing world where blindly following best practices are the quickest way to the inbound marketing graveyard.

A Thank You Note to Jeff Goins

If you didn’t notice, take a second and look when my last blog article was written.

That’s right, April 13th.

I’ve been blogging on and off since about 2004, so I’m definitely no stranger to the game. On this particular blog, I launched in January after exporting over from another blog. When I launched I hit the ground like a hurricane and was publishing a regular 4 times a week or so.

Then, I ran smack dab into a wall.
