		<title>Defeat This Fear &amp; Achieve Your Goals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some personal challenges recently reminded me of an acronym a work colleague uses. It describes a core issue that can hold you hostage, preventing you from achieving your business and life goals. For example, do you: &#62;Try hard to fit in? &#62;Commit to people and/or tasks you really don&#8217;t enjoy? &#62;Buy the latest &#8220;shiny-object&#8221; because [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Pump-Up the Slumps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I scrolled through some archived e-newsletter content I published three years ago (wow). Amazed that as a freelance copywriter, and (adding to the mix) now a blogger, social media content writer/strategist, and soon to be info-publisher, I&#8217;m &#8211; to the week &#8211; experiencing similar thoughts and challenges about life and business building. Labor Day weekend [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Copywriting Uncovers Hidden Value</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A local paper ad caught my wife&#8217;s attention. It was promoting an international coin buyer&#8217;s event taking place over the weekend at a local hotel. Our experience prompted my thoughts about some important copywriting and marketing principles. I was reminded how it&#8217;s essential to think about the untapped value within your products and services. Along [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Stimulate Your Reader&#8217;s Imagination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m a visual person. I default to thinking in pictures and images. For example, when I set goals I see the process, the path, and the end-result of achieving it. Then I move forward in that direction (at least that’s the plan). Visualization stimulates energy. Imagination taps into emotions. Images ignite thoughts and compel action. [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Est&#8221; Syndrome &amp; How to Beat It in Your Content</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I can&#8217;t get-over-myself. This occasionally happens when I write proposals to promote my services to a potential client. My first hurdle with self promotion is taking myself just seriously enough to boldly inform someone that I&#8217;m the person to get-it-done for them. Something similar happens with product and service promotions. The &#8220;est&#8221; syndrome. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Get More of What You Want with Social Media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Call me naive but I&#8217;ve felt to my core (most of my life) that love, giving&#8230;and all that so-called fluffy stuff is the best way to live. And though the years could have jaded me somewhat (and have on occasion), I still believe this. Social media has given me renewed trust in the you-scratch-my-back-I&#8217;ll-scratch-yours idea.

		<title>How Un-Marketing &amp; Social Media Can Transform Your Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading Scott Stratten&#8216;s book, Un-Marketing. I scanned the book nearly a year ago because a client asked me to review a few chapters to write some themed blog posts. I researched the book. Got intrigued. Wrote the posts. Yet I put it aside on my shelf. Thanks to social media (amazing how it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does Your Content Pass the &#8220;Bar-stool Test&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does your marketing message connect? Is it rising above the content noise in today’s marketplace? As a professional copywriter and content publisher it’s essential that what I write connects. Clients pay me for the connect-ability of my writing to their target audience and market.
