		<title>Set Yourself Apart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I review marketing materials and get bored because &#8220;professional&#8221; is so often misinterpreted as a straightjacket. Everyone has &#8220;years of experience&#8221; that will &#8220;create value&#8221; for their clients through &#8220;excellent client service&#8221;.  Important, necessary, but oh-so-very-dull, isn&#8217;t it?  In today&#8217;s economy, if that&#8217;s all you can say about yourself and your practice, you&#8217;re in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lead Yourself First</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We often discuss leadership as if it is a state or quality that either exists or doesn&#8217;t.  But the truth is that whether one seeks to become a leader or whether one is already serving in that capacity, leadership develops over time.
A leader&#8217;s development tends to proceed through three stages. The first stage is self-management.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Start-Up Of You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Start-Up of You
By Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha 
 
Styled as a career development book, the central thesis of The Start-Up of You is that a successful career requires an entrepreneurial approach. 
 
Authors Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, and Ben Casnocha, a young serial entrepreneur, assert that career advancement worked like an escalator [...]]]></description>

		<title>How&#8217;s Your Water?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, &#8220;Morning, boys, how&#8217;s the water?&#8221;  And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, &#8220;What [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quotes of the month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.&#8221;
~Chinese Proverb
&#8220;When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don&#8217;t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.&#8221;

&#8220;Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.&#8221;

		<title>The Power of Habit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Power of Habit:  Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business
by Charles Duhigg
Every single one of my clients faces the need to build new habits at some point.  Whether it&#8217;s replacing an unhelpful old habit or building a new one from scratch, the process of illuminating automatic behavior and changing it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Must-see Maxims</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I occasionally find an article or resource that&#8217;s so helpful I wish I&#8217;d written it. When I do, I pass it along to you.
Twenty Marketing Maxims is probably the best summary of business development best practices that I&#8217;ve ever seen. As I wrote when I tweeted the resource:  Print it.  Laminate it.  Read it daily. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Your Number?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an old maxim that 50% of marketing efforts are a complete waste of time. The problem is, as the punchline holds, that nobody knows which efforts fall into the 50% that succeed.  That&#8217;s amusing only if it&#8217;s untrue.
I&#8217;m quick to climb up on a soapbox and start to rant when a client or a [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Adjust for Chaos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last fall, I shared that I&#8217;d joined a gym, and I drew some parallels between getting into the regular gym-going habit and regularly engaging in business development.  If you missed those notes, you can read them here and here, and I recommend you do so.
I haven&#8217;t written about the gym since last September, partly because when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Priorities of Trust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in the middle of two renovation projects. You&#8217;ll see the results of one project in the next few weeks, as I lift the curtain on some significant changes to the face of my business.
The messier renovation by far is taking place in my home and my home office.  It&#8217;s been loud, with lots [...]]]></description>
