Google Says Good-Bye to Buzz

Google Says Good-Bye to BuzzSit down. I’m about to tell you some extremely upsetting news. Google is shutting down Google Buzz. Take a moment. I know it’s a lot to absorb.

on Aug 4, 2011
Focus is a hot topic. Those who do it are always talking about how great it is. Focus helps us be productive, isolate problems, and change aspects of our lives. There is, however, a huge problem I’ve noticed with the topic of focus as I perused the blogosphere. Nobody tells us what it means to focus and exactly how to do it.

Don’t Drive Your Blog DistractedThis guest post is by Chris The Traffic Blogger. I can tell you a thousand ideas I have on how to be creative and when/where to write, but I struggle to create a list of times when you shouldn’t write.

on Apr 25, 2011
Regrets of a $10,000 a Month BusinessHow can one regret the climb to 10k a month? Positive and enthusiastic they called me.
