With all the new year’s resolutions floating around, I thought I’d put some of my goals out there for feedback. I know most people don’t ask for feedback on their’s, but you’re very important to what I offer so I need to hear from you.

The first items at hand are a few offerings I’m thinking/working on. They are:

• Personal Branding Email Course
• Personal Branding Coaching Program
• Book on Living Out Your Dream for the Good of Others
• Podcast on Personal Branding
• Teleseminars on Personal Branding

As you can see, there’s a lot on my plate. I can tell you that at least 2 of those will happen, they are both currently in the works. They are the podcast and the email course. Here’s a quick breakdown of each.

Today I’ll be guest posting over at JeremyStatton.com. He’s a super awesome guy that I’ve had some contact with in the past but the more I read from him, the more I’m inspired. If you haven’t heard of him, you really should check his work out!

The post is about how God’s plan is usually the weird one. You know, the one we never think will work out. Yeah, that one. Here’s an excerpt:

I’m not sure why God’s plan is usually clouded. You would think that with all the light that comes from Him, it would be clear which way we are to go.

That simply is not the case.

Who is Unknown Jim anyway? I don’t know, he’s apparently, unknown.

Actually, I do know him a little bit and he’s pretty awesome. And I’m pretty excited to be guest posting over at his blog!

Here’s brief little excerpt of what I’ve written.

Learning is essential to nature. It’s when we stop learning that all ideas cease. I’ve fallen into that trap before, and it’s not a fun one to be in. Sometimes just giving up seems to be the only possibility. But I urge you not to. We can’t allow ourselves to plateau by not learning.

You can read the full post over on Jim’s blog!

I’m super excited to be posting for the awesome Mr. Dan Black. I’m not sure if he likes being called Mr, but maybe. In any case, he is a writer who has a passion for leadership.

Here’s a post excerpt:

We’ve all heard the saying “less is more.” But for some reason we forget to actually apply it. We have so much information flying at our face every day that we look like Jackie Chan trying to dodge a shovel. It’s important for us to take a step back and recognize that many of us are on information overload and now is a great time to check up before we finally get hit.

The Guest Post

I’m super stoked to be guest posting for Andrew Zahn of Zahndrew.com. He’s also got a site where him and his wife offer some hilarity on random things so be sure to check out ACoupleComments.com. I wish I was that cool.

You’ll have to head on over there to read the full post but the gist is this.

There’s a core to the creative process that we’ve somehow managed to forget. I’m not sure how we manage to skip over the basics…but alas, we have. Well, I sometimes do and I would bet money that many of us do more often than we think. So without further ado, read the full post here and be sure to comment and share!

We all come to trials in life whether it be in work, personal life or some other area. The trick is to remember where the best place to be is. It’s difficult to understand why we need to be there, but time and time again I’ve found it’s the safest place.

So what place am I talking about? I’ll tell you shortly.

Let’s examine something for a moment though.

Maybe you’re a creative who’s lost creativity. Maybe you’re a student who’s lost the desire to learn. Maybe you’re a parent who’s lost your mind. These are possibilities, among others of course.

But maybe you’re any of those and you haven’t lost creativity or desire or your mind. Maybe you’ve lost the one thing that matters the most.

Maybe you’ve lost faith.

I must admit that this is a bit more personal post than anything I’ve had up to this point. It is resonating in my life right now and I really just want to stop and ask for directions.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve asked the Master, but everything just seems out of whack. So this really begs the question:

What do we do when we don’t know what to do?

We all like to think of ourselves as good, honest people. Or at least most of us do. We like to think that we have integrity and, given the chance, we’d do the right thing. Well, maybe we are…

but what if we aren’t?
