Learn how to get published from author and success story Jeff Goins

After having read a lot of blogs and news online, I find myself skimming simply because most writers sound the same or are saying the same thing that everyone else is saying.

Jeff is an exception. I find myself reading each word because his perspective and voice are unique in a sea of ubiquity (check his street cred and interview at ThinkTraffic.net).

Not only is he engaging, but he gives a straightforward guide in his new ebook Every Writer’s Dream to improving your writing and getting found and followed. You’ll notice that Jeff borrowed some of his ideas from others such as Seth Godin and Chris Brogan (two personal favorites), but Goins congeals his views with those learned from others in an efficient and effective manner.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m endorsing this ebook. It’s well worth the couple of bucks you’ll spend to get it.

As this is a blog primarily about brand management, let me give you one brief excerpt.

“A brand is your identity. It’s what makes you, you.

But it’s not just your personality. It’s who you consciously choose to be. It’s an intentional identity you don for the sake of your art.

Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean your brand can be whatever you want it to be. It’s an important part of yourself revealed for an audience. Not in a disingenuous way. But in a way that is consistent and understandable for your readers.”

Goins goes on to explain that although he likes guacamole, that part of him doesn’t need to be part of his brand. In his words, “A brand is part of you, but it can’t be the whole person.”

Without further ado, go learn about Jeff Goins and pick up Every Writer’s Dream while you are at it.

Realize that sacrificing is often choosing a better decision over a good decision

One of the greatest challenges that we face as adults, and especially as parents, is learning to sacrifice our wants and desires for the sake of our family. I believe that the very act of having a child is one of the most selfless things that anyone can do.

Download Tweetdeck 0.38.2 (the way Tweetdeck should be experienced)

If you are like me, then you downloaded and installed the new Tweetdeck after Twitter took over. If you are also like me, then you have found that you hate it. For some reason, Twitter felt the need to take a great product and trash it.

And now that you’ve upgraded, you can’t go back. But have no fear, I have the install file for you. Download Tweetdeck 0.38.2. If for some reason you don’t have it, then you’ll need to download and install Adobe Air first.

A big thanks to David Amador for finding and posting the download file.

If you have any issues installing it, then you should remove your current version and then install this version.

Hope this helps!
