A new kind of Prophet… In fact, several of them… Internet Prophets

I am attending Steve Olsher’s “InternetProphetsLive” in Chicago. Brendon Burchard, Vishen Lakhiani – founder of Mind Valley, Jake Nickell – founder of threadless, Pam Hendrickson – former Tony Robbins leader, Mike Koenigs, Joel Comm, and more! Amazing list of speakers. And Lifebook is one of the sponsors of the event. What a privilege to be in the room with so many great marketing minds!

You need an extra dose of heartiness to be here this week as “the windy city” became “the flooded windy city.” Yet people have come from all over the country and all over the world to be in attendance. They have rented cars and driven when the major airports were shut down. Why? Call it a workout for your mind. Where do you have limiting beliefs? When in the presence of some of the best marketing minds in the world, what nuggets can you find and take home with you? (Short answer: more than enough to keep your brain spinning into the wee hours!)

I encourage you to start following all the speakers here on Twitter and Facebook. The list of speakers is at InternetProphetsLive.com.

Don’t Touch That Phone!

I was visiting with my daughter and son-in-law yesterday. They shared a creative approach to having personal time not get usurped by our technology devices.

We’ve all seen this happen… You get together with family or friends. And everyone is on their phones posting social media updates, texting, etc. and essentially not paying attention to the people they are with. How can this situation be turned to take advantage of the relationship opportunities right before us?

They recommend that everyone put their mobile phone face down in the middle of the table. The first one who cannot “resist the urge” and grabs their phone for any reason gets the bill for the dinner. Nice.

Here’s to real social interaction face-to-face. As Crosby, Stills and Nash would say, “love the one you’re with”!

Trello releases iPad version

Trello has released an update to their app that makes it a true iPad app versus just a scaled up iPhone version! WooHoo! If you are a fan of Trello, it’s time to click on that App Store update!

No Excuses

Inspiration… What limiting beliefs do you have? Maybe this will convince you to shed some of them. :-) http://lnkd.in/yDimDB
