Laurie Manny Challenge - 3 Posts I think you should read

1)  You should check out this blogsite

to get lots of tips every day for making your blogs better. When we look at the postings of Chris Elizabeth Griffith and Laurie Manny, we see great examples of them linking to their other posts. How do they do it? Check out this blogpost to find out:

This blog is edited by Daniel Scocco, born in Brazil, educated in Italy, and man of the world. It would also be good to read about the blog.

 2)  You should also check out this blogsite

and after reading about the blog, in particular, read this post from Rajesh Setty, author of "Beyond Code"

Titled "Making the Most of Your Time: Going Beyond To-Do-Lists" it does talk about time, but also covers things like:

How to Find 4 extra days a month

How to Unlearn Things

Making a Difference in the World

Teach People to become Better

Connect People that are Opportunities for Each Other

Making a Difference in the World

actually the blog posting has a link to a free .pdf that has all this information in it.

3)   You should definitely bookmark this treasure

and look at this particular blog:

This post, What To Do When You're Wrong, discusses Johnson & Johnson now suing the Red Cross for misuse of a symbol, specifically the Red Cross. Apparently J&J has had the symbol since the 1800s and allowed the Red Cross to use it, with some restrictions. Recently the Red Cross began licensing the symbol to products, which brought on this suit. The blog, however, isn't about the suit as much as it's about What To Do When You're Wrong.

So, that's my three, and that's my entry.

I want to give you something extra, though - in line with Underpromise and Overdeliver.

One of my favorite blogs is Robert Frank's Wealth Blog at the Wall St Journal (he just wrote Richistan, if you recall, 

a great book). It's at:

and a particular post to read (before August 2nd since Frank is on vacation, but since this a bonus and not an entry, it should be ok) is

interesting for most parents, as well as nonparents. Parents generally want to give their kids things, to have their kids benefit from the fruits of their labor, but ... Rich kids don't stay rich ...  this tells why.

Sharon--I like how your choices are educational and really outside of the AR arena. I was not aware of the blog tip site and find the J&J/Red Cross suit very interesting as well. Good job.

Sharon, I would have enjoyed being a part of the study, meaning fitting into the 'rich kid' category so I could extend my perception lol.

Don't know how you find this great information.  I've bookmarked it to come back to.  Thanks for the great tip.  It's study time over the weekend.

Sharon,

Ok, you just sent me on a great tour, thanks I enjoyed it, great job! 

Posted by Laurie Manny (Long Beach CA Real Estate) almost 5 years ago
Sharon, great list. I am off to check some out. I do read Seth Godins blog, but listed some I have never heard of. Good luck in the contest.

This is a great list and I am going to that first one on blogging ideas right away to learn more. You can always learn more! Katerina

Interesting choice of blog sites/posts. It also gives me a look into the writer and their preference in wriiting.
Posted by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman, RA, CRS, HAWAII Real Estate & Relocations (Century 21 Liberty Homes) almost 5 years ago

Teri - Thanks. Obviously this contest accomplished what it set out to - getting us out of our boxes.

Carole - yes, sometimes it's tempting to take on someone else's "problems".

Kay - I feel the same with some of the blog lists other bloggers post. I have lists of lists.

Laurie - Thanks for pointing that out. I've corrected it. Sometimes I think links change when they go from today to archive. Glad you enjoyed the trip. I'm glad I had the chance to meet you in SF,

Missy - There are always new ones out there.

Katerina - The Japanese have a word for that, except I think their version is Constant Improving as opposed to constant learning.

Hi, Sally - I have some favorites in our industry, but wanted to stay away from those.

Thank you, Sharon.

I like the daily blog tips. I like quick pieces that give you a little bit to think about at one time. I'm more likely to change something or learn something new if its just a little piece here and there. Over time it adds up to more.

janeAnne. You're welcome. Hope you're enjoying everyone's suggestions.
