Re: Instant Communities: List of companies that provide Web Collaboration Suites or Platforms

Hi Jeremiah. I have been using Central Desktop for a few weeks and love it. I used to use Sharepoint. I found it was user-unfriendly and caused IE to crash often. Central Desktop has a lot of useful features for workgroups and it's fast and easy to use.

By the way, someone recommended Zoho. It seems pretty robust and is compartmentalized in case you only need a few options. It covers everything from CRM to projects to Wiki.

Interesting ideas Jeremiah. You're right; it's all about connecting people to people. I like your thoughts on the topic and added my own suggestions about how entrepreneurs can reward their own personal networks.

Great suggestion Melvin. I connect my iPod to my car stereo and listen to sales and marketing information throughout the day. It's a great way to learn and develop your skills.

Re: The Savvy Snippet: Persistence Beats All

That's a great quote Cristina. You are right. Persistence is one of the keys to success. It's certainly been true in my case. It's taken sheer willpower to keep going and persist in spite of challenges and failures. I'm writing a chapter on persistence for my next book. So, this is especially topical for me. Thanks!

Great article from Brian Tracy. My favorite time management tip is to write down your top 3 priorities every day on an index card. Write them down in the morning and then focus on getting them accomplished. It works!

Re: Twitter’s Tweet Smell Of Success

Amazing stats. Yes, Twitter is growing fast. It was interesting to see how many people are on Facebook though. I'd like to see how some of the other social media sites rank by comparison.

Re: HOW TO: Survive the New, New Facebook

Rick Cooper — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:14:52 -0000

I'm waiting patiently for Facebook to restore some of the abilities to filter content. And, I miss the ability to minimize (cut to one line) comments on your wall. The only option is to remove them, which is not nice to do to a friend.

Great post Brett! I loved the great reminder about the importance of the headline. You also hit the nail on the head regarding the importance of influential friends. It's a good reminder that social media is social. You need to cultivate relationships! @RickCooper

It's amazing what happens when you listen to the conversation. Social media and social networking sites provide a great window into crucial conversations about your business. Look for ways to tap into and connect with people talking about your company.

Outstanding article Erin. I love your tips for filling in your Marketing Funnel! That's a great phrase, "Showcasing your Abilities." That says it all doesn't it?

You are correct. You need to implement multiple marketing strategies to really create synergy and attract clients. Thanks Erin!

Re: How To Become Twitter Savvy!

Rick Cooper — Fri, 06 May 2011 10:31:29 -0000

I love Twitter. It takes awhile to get used to writing in under 140 characters. I post quotes, share blog posts and of course, interact with other people. Remember that social media is social. Be sure to check your Mentions to see if anyone is tweeting to you. And reply back.

Re: Financial Freedom Is Planned Not Found

Rick Cooper — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:56:55 -0000

I like this idea of a Financial Freedom Day. It can create a powerful intention. The question is, "What's your Financial Freedom Day?" As Loral would say, "Ready, Go!"

Re: The 5 Phases of Building Your Cash Machine

Rick Cooper — Tue, 10 May 2011 12:07:26 -0000

It's interesting how simple the concept of "Ask for the Cash" is, and how few people master this process. I like your suggestion of getting 10 "no" answers not because that's a good result, but because it helps people overcome their fear of rejection. And if you can overcome your fear of rejection, you will become "Unstoppable"!

Thanks Ken! Great analysis of RSS feeds and their benefits. Interesting to see what changes the major social networks are making. It's a good reminder of the need to use many different internet marketing strategies to communicate your message and for lead generation.

Re: Microsoft Acquires Skype, What The...?

Rick Cooper — Thu, 12 May 2011 13:28:13 -0000

It will probably be awhile before we see any impact on the service. But, it does send a strong signal to the telecoms that Microsoft wants to be a larger player in communications. It will also be interesting to see how this will impact mobile communications. (Hopefully this will eventually result in greater network stability and line quality for calls.)

Re: Tip of the Day - May 12, 2011

Rick Cooper — Thu, 12 May 2011 14:09:14 -0000

I have participated in an ongoing Meetup group in the Sacramento area for speakers. It is well attended and the content is great. I think the quality of the groups probably varies significantly, so try out a few groups in your area before committing to attend on a regular basis. Also, remember that the Meetup site itself is a social network too. So, post messages and interact with other people. And then, share what events you're attending on Facebook. That's another way to increase attendance at a Meetup event.

I love your suggestion of working early in the morning Loral. I've found that the best time for me to write is first thing in the morning. I'm most creative and it's easier to focus without a dozen other things to do.
