Recently I was referred to a blog entry posted by someone who had watched a video of my presentation I did in Vegas for the E1kaD Conference. My presentation was on the importance of “Mindset” in I.M. He argued that mindset was “crap”. What about you?

Well I had a nice slice of humble pie.

You see I’ve started to get real close to Aweber’s “Please Call For Pricing” line for my monthly payment. For that reason I started looking around for software I could host myself and save some cash. What can I say, other than, “I’m cheap.”

After quite a bit of research, I settled on a popular software solution to replace Aweber. What a mistake….

While in the doctors office today I was reading an interview with Harrison Ford about his new movie.

In the interview he was asked, “Do you have any advice for young Harrison Fords’ who are out there?” His answer was great.

He basically said, “Never quit. I never made a full time living in acting till I was 35. So many people hop on the Greyhound bus to LA only to leave shortly afterward when things get tough. Many times you’ll wind up getting a gig simply because you’re the only one left.”

Wow….

I have to admit that I am a fan of “Twitter”. Not a fanatic mind you..just a fan.

I enjoy reading what friends I have met around the world are doing. I don’t really care what they had for breakfast that morning, but I like reading about accomplishments they have made, quotes they have run across, great sites they have found, excellent articles they have read, etc. But guess what….?

An interesting thing that Twitter has taught me is the power of BREVITY. You see, on Twitter you can only write 140 characters (letters, spaces,etc) before your message gets cut off. I have been amazed however at the power of how ‘Less can be more.”

I have purchased products linked to in Twitter. Not because of the 7 page sales letter but because of a 140 character recommendation from someone I was following. I have learned some amazing SEO tips, a great backup strategy, how to add backlinks overnight, and discovered incredible software I have never heard of or seen before all from Twitter.

I also learned that Kevin Riley has something for rodents.

Like I said, I’m a fan. Not a fanatic.

A lot can be done in 140 characters.

It used to be that I wouldn’t post a blog message here unless unless I had a thousand word essay to share. Unless it had to be printed out, I didn’t think it was worth putting out.

I was wrong. So except to see a lot more short and informative posts here in the future.

Yet somehow this post wound up being much longer than I anticipated.

Like I said, I’m a fan, not a fanatic.
