Do you read Men With Pens?

So, do you get lost in the blog game? You know, you read one and like it so now you have to go read everyone else's blog too? I swear up and down that I won't succumb to the blog world, but then I catch myself doing it anyway. I think it's a matter of finding the good ones that really teach something. Finding the ones where you learn as much from the comments as you do from the series. Men With Pens is that sort of blog. Whenever I head over there, I lose time. There is just so much really good stuff there- and read the comments, WOW!

I struggle with deciding what my niche is. I know I like to write on a comfortable, casual level- like this. I can research well, but it's a bit time consuming, as I tend to over research. I write a lot of articles and my clients are always happy with me. I want to write something where I make better money. Web copy? Is it different? Check out this series that Men in Pens did last May. It really helps to clarify some questions.

This is so cool!

Hi-

I was sent an email the other day from Frank Kern. He's that good lookin' Australian guy who moved to California- big time Internet marketer. I like watching him, so I hope I'm absorbing some good info while I'm there.

Anyway- the link is for MindMovies. Have you gotten an email from anyone yet? I've gotten a ton. The MindMovies are extremely cool. I've been working on opening up my mind to dream bigger dreams and taking my business to a whole new level. I know, it's not the most original personal quest, but it's terribly interesting.

Just check it out for yourself and then come back and tell me what you think. Have fun!

MasterMind Group

Have you joined a mentoring group or a MasterMind group yet? It seems everyone has one and some of them are really pricey. I was fortunate enough to join one that is very reasonable and filled with awesome surprises! Just the other day, we were fortunate enough to speak with Peter Bowerman, of Well-Fed Writer fame. He had some wisdom and encouragement to share and it was a great time. If you get an opportunity to join a MasterMind group, just do it. Having other writers to share with and learn from is a great experience. You also can gain some awesome support! Check out www.workingwriterhappywriter.com to find out about the writer I learn from- Sue LaPointe. Sue is exceedingly generous with her time and her insight. The current group is filled, but see if you can get on a list for next time!
Have a great day!
