Pearls From Her Pocket
Several days ago, while researching Squarespace's competition, I happened on a most informative read.
Robotic Marketing
It is confirmed. Seth Godin is a Robot. He told me so.
Arm In Arm
It's been a long time since I posted my last update. We'll try not to let that happen again. It's awfully tempting to try to play catch up, but I have a feeling that won't be necessary as I'm sure the important stuff will find a way to resurface in my future writings. A few things stand out about this week. My insolmnia for one. Distracted by the millions of little idea bugs dancing in my head, it was easy to overlook what all was causing me to be stressed.
Ok, Don't "Sell" Anything
People who try to "sell" you their product are representing one that was created without any sensitivity to their clients' wants and needs. And now, one way or another, they're going to convince you to buy it. How do salespeople ever expect to sell you something you didn't have a prior need for? The problem is, you don't want what they have to offer, but you want to tell them to shut their inimical traps even less.
Extra Productive, Off-Work
Ok, I have an admission to make. Instead of going to work today I let myself get stranded in a parkinglot with a Starbucks sitting right there in it, looking so inviting, beckoning me in for a drink, a hospitable refuge from the rain...But keep reading, something good did come out of my irresponsible ways. An illumination in the storm.
