Busy Marketing Thursday

Category: Lifestyle

Today, after teaching my 5-year old how to say "Microsoft," I recorded an audio CD about coaching assessments with my business partner, Larina Kase. A big "Oops!" happened about 4 minutes into the recording, when I realized my headset was plugged directly into the telephone instead of the recording device...

"Oops! Can we start over, Larina?" That was very embarassing, and a lesson learned - never record a CD at 10 AM in the morning! Yeah, I know some coaches wake up at 5 AM, but I am actually enjoying my sweet dreams, in spite of the loud garbage collection going on outside.

As I was creating my blog this week, I asked myself, why would people want to take the time and read my rambling...Why do people read ANY blog? Then I remembered how excited I was when I found a blog of an American student who just moved to Israel, and was sharing his experience with his readers. I could never understand such a brave and weird gesture - moving to a country in the middle of a war - so I got consumed in reading his blog for hours!

The funniest thing is that I wasn't even looking for this kind of information. I was simply doing some research for www.MyBusinessCapsule.com I was working on last year, and typed "what happens to my business when I die" into Google.

This guy actually wrote a will in his blog - here is what I want to be done to my stuff if I die: archive articles, turn my blog into a book, have 2 famous people write a foreword, etc. Creepy stuff, but certainly needs to be considered if you're working alone.

It's Friday tomorrow - yipee!!!! - actually, I think I may catch up on my e-mail. My gym buddy has flu, so I've got a perfect excuse to stay home. Pleasures of life...
