25 Things A Blog Can and WILL Do For You

25 Things A Blog Can and WILL Do For You

I could have written, 30 things a blog can and will do for you. Or, 50 things. Or 10 things.

How To Be SMART About Your Goals

Today, we’ll talk a bit about SMART goals. And, I don’t just mean how to be smart about setting goals. Instead, I want you to learn how to understand SMART intentions and get them to work for you.

A man is seated at the top of a mountain holding his arms such that his hands are raised above his head. Next to the man is a dog. Text over the image contains a quote from Buddha that reads "Your work is to discover your work and then, with all your heart, give yourself to it." This is followed by a response quote from Tom Collins that reads, "And then, when you discover that it is no longer your work ... Rinse. Repeat." This image is attached to a post on how to apply Buddha's wisdom in the 21st century.

How to apply Buddha’s wisdom in the 21st century

Perhaps in Buddha’s time it made sense to identify your calling “and then, with all your heart, give yourself to it.” I’m not that old, so I can’t be sure if it was true in Buddha’s world, but I know that lifelong careers or jobs are pretty rare nowadays.

An old public-domain image of a man and his young apprentice. Text over the image reads: "Message for Entrepreneurs: Be an apprentice, not a student." This image is attached to a post on the benefits of an entrepreneurial apprenticeship.

The Entrepreneur’s Apprentice: Creating Your Business Owner’s Learning Environment

“Be an Apprentice, Not a Student,” advises our friend and business coach Mary Anne Shew. Does that mindset resonate with you? It sure did for me! If you agree that learning should remain at core of how you work and live, let’s take a look at how adopting an apprenticeship mindset and finding a partner or group to practice it with can help you and your business grow.

A multigenerational, multiracial, mixed-gender group of businesspeople against a dark teal background. Text at the top of the image reads, "What are the experience gaps in your organization?" The image is attached to a posts on the benefits of elderships, deliberately retaining older workers so that younger workers can learn from their experience and benefit from their perspective.

Elderships: Filling the Experience Gaps in Your Organization

Historically, in a variety of communities and institutions, elders have played roles as respected sources of knowledge, experience, and advice. Particularly when recruiting older talent, the term provides some acknowledgement of the value gained from experience, from living a bit longer to collect more of those “experiential dots.”

A photo of cartoon artist Nina Paley speaking at TedX Maastricht about her take on copyright law. This image is attached to a post titled "Should we just abolish copyright law?"

Should We Just Abolish Copyright? [Fair Use Revisited, Part 1]

Let’s stop for a moment and examine why Paley wants to abolish copyright. I mean, she and all artists and authors get the benefit of protection of her work, right? More like, “Yeah, right!”
