What type of LinkedIn requests or emails do you ignore? Automated ones, right?! Every day, I’m bombarded with automated connection requests and emails. Guess what? Your prospective clients are too. So, how can you stand out? How can you send a message that gets read and starts a relationship — instead of being deleted? Watch. Email Outreach For Consultants: Don’t Use Marketing Automation (Do This Instead) is a post from: Consulting Success.

Everyone has done a jigsaw puzzle. And you know it takes a lot of time to put all the pieces together. It can take hours and hours. But what if each piece was numbered on the back and the numbers went from left to right, top to bottom. So, #1 would be the top left corner, #2 would be to the right of that, etc. etc. Instead of looking at the images, you’d turn over all the pieces and look for the numbers.

I spoke with another writer, Sam, earlier this week. He’s pretty sure a colleague, John, is plagiarizing his blog posts. Not in writing, but in conversation. Yes, John is using Sam's original words and phrases and passing those words off as John's ideas. In videos, podcasts, all kinds of “thought leader” work. This happens. All too often.

I’m happy to provide interviews for both broadcast and print sources. About 99% of them are run by honest, well-intentioned organizations, some of whom have vast networks that help me, and some of whom I’m helping by building their networks. Fine with me. But there’s always a scammer somewhere, under random rocks. Something called “Inside Recent” out of Singapore (I think) writes and asks about an email interview for their vast network.

It’s stunning how many people go into consulting who don’t feel comfortable approaching people to offer help. Why else are you here? If you just want to prance on a stage, or direct projects in an organization, or conduct interviews, then you can get a job as a subcontractor who never has to market personally. Of course, that will pay much less.

We’re often asked about what makes good thought leadership, and while we've got a well-established view on that, we're not the intended audience.

With temperatures approaching (and exceeding) ~100º F. It gets hot. Shade is life. In 2017, my humble crew went to Burning Man. We brought enough shade stuff to fill a U-Haul, cover ~10,000 square feet, and keep half of the ~65 humans in the camp safe and cool.
