Howdy BGB’ers.. this is a guest post by Christian Arno on a topic not yet covered on BGB… international branding. I’ll be honest and say it wasn’t something I was thinking of when I started BGB and it’s possible it’s not something you’ve thought of either when branding your business. However he nailed home some important points, so read and implement if...
Howdy BGB’ers… I know, you missed me. 😉  Unfortunately I’m still pretty sickly at the moment, can’t seem to shake it.  So big thanks to guest blogger Chris Hoole today for picking up my slack with this thought-provoking post on language, voice, and how it can affect your business success.  Ya’ll know what to do by now right?  Make him feel warm and welcome and all...
Howdy BGB’ers… long time, no talk-y. Â Sorry about that, Dad died, been moving and packing/unpacking, plus dealing with sickliness on top of it all… you know how it is! You know I still love you though, and I will be back full force sometime in the near future… still just trying to get settled at the moment. Â Thankfully I have awesome readers who feel compelled to...
This is a guest post I wrote just before my dad died, that went live on Copyblogger not too long ago.  It’s gotten an excellent response thus far, and if you’re a writer struggling to be “you”, it might do you some good to read it. 😉  Thoughts, comments and feedback can be left on Copyblogger or shot to me via email.  XoXo BGB’ers!
This is a guest post from Jared Kessler, Mr. Kick- Ass himself. In this post he talks about how referrals can actually kill your biz (yes, KILL it, that wasn’t a typo) and what you can do to fix this crazy phenomenon.  You know the drill… make him feel warm and fuzzy in the comments below, and if you’ve got a question- ask it! Here’s how the conversation goes. “Oh hey. I’d...
Hey BGB’ers! Â Thanks for your patience during this hard time in my life right now. Â I’m slowly getting realigned after my dad’s death, but there has been a lot of stuff that went along with it outside of the emotional aspects I’ve had to deal with, so I’ve been pretty stupid busy. I expect to continue to be pretty busy right up until mid-September at the earliest...
Hey BGB’ers. Some of you may have heard by now, others may not have, so this is why I am writing this post. Â Not too long ago my dad was diagnosed with throat cancer. On July 1st, he went in for a radical tonsillectomy surgery. Â It should have been an outpatient procedure. Â He ended up staying a couple extra days to make sure he was swallowing OK. They said everything looked great, despite...
This is a guest post from Chris Hoole. I have to agree, going pro as a writer is pretty daft. It’s not easy, it’s not always fun, and sometimes you wonder if you’re in the right line of work. However as he mentions, for many writers it’s not always a matter of choice… it’s almost a compulsion! Kind of like diarrhea of the fingers or something. Words. Â Must...
This is a guest post by Jeremy Fordham. In today’s ever-changing landscape of business and entrepreneurship, many folks think that holding a college degree just isn’t all it was cracked up to be, as opposed to say 10 years ago. So the question stands- do you need a degree to be a success, or don’t you? For myself, I’m in the hell no, you don’t need anything of the...
This is a recent guest post on FirePoleMarketing.com that Danny was so gracious to invite me to contribute to. Everyone has days they feel overwhelmed and unproductive. Here I discuss ways to get past it! And be sure to check out Danny’s point of view on BGB as well, great stuff. 😉
