What Matters Now

I am in the middle of reading What Matters Now, a free ebook, "...organized," by Seth Godin. It is a compilation of advice from gurus in all different areas of business. I think it would be a good idea to post my thoughts on this book, page-by-page, as a way to blog more regularly and engage you in conversation. Please click the link for the book in its title, above, so you can follow along.

Page 1: Oh. It's the cover. Pretty daisy, very striking. Moving on...

Page 2: "Big thoughts and small actions make a difference. Here’s what we’re working on and thinking about. Things to think about (and do) this year. What about you?"

This page sums up my thinking lately. I have been pushing myself to do 5 things to promote this site every day, surmising that small actions make a difference. Perhaps blogging about these pages  will help with my promotional efforts. What 5 things do you do each day to promote yourself? I usually make a Facebook post, a Twitter post, a comment on a blog, send one email, and read one good thing. Very often, Seth's Blog is the one good thing. I wish I had the time to blog each day, but I think blogging regularly (twice per week, once per week, etc.) is just as effective as blogging each day.

I have a big action I need to take, which is sending out the Call for Submissions for this site on a large scale. Crafting this call takes time, as I want my writing to show that I know what I'm doing around here. As I write this, I think it might be a good idea to send out the big call on January 1, or close to it. I want to reach blogs that have a crafty readership, but who are also technologically savvy.

Seth's free ebook is all about making things happen now. What are you creating now? What will you do this year?
