The Word is Out!

I've been keeping the news under wraps for the last few weeks but, the cat is now out of the bag. My current gig with Escape Studios is ending on May 5th. I'm just going to say that I'm very disappointed in the way things went. Now, time to move on!

I've been reaching out to old friends, just to get the word out. I haven't needed a resume in years so I've put time into writing one. I'm going to recommit myself to writing in this blog more frequently and am using linkedin, twitter, facebook and 12seconds.tv to network.

If you have advice, comments, feedback or a lead for a new job, I'm all ears!!!

Relationships

I'm a relationship guy. My sales mentor, Tom Trenasty taught me the importance of relationships in all aspects of life and business. How to build them, maintain them, and grow them into networks which are beneficial for all participants. Now, at 50 years old, I find myself applying this knowledge to the Internet. Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, etc. This blog which I still struggle with.

The big difference here is scale. In the old days, to build a relationship, you started with a phone call then a face to face visit. (rinse and repeat many times) It took years to build a network. In a few weeks on the Internet I am amazed at how many "friends" I now have. I like the fact that I can invite them here to read my blog and I love it when they leave comments.

Now I need to work on turning the "friends" into blog visitors that I can convert into mutually beneficial ongoing relationships.

Yes mom, you can teach and old dog new tricks!
