Anyone who has ever driven the Schuykill Expressway knows just how serious a step this is. That thing is horrible. In all seriousness, great move. As a frequent business traveler to Philly, I'm excited by all the new opportunities there.
This is so awesome. It's great to see leaders like Mark honored. The surprise factor is icing on the cake.
I also am from a very rigid, fundamentalist background. I loved his answer. Takes nothing away, only adds.
I really liked your last point. The minute you devalue your work, it is nigh unto impossible to turn that around. We never apologize for what we charge. It's our rate. If that's a problem, we should probably part as friends. Great post.
A pastor friend of me while stating that the church must reproduce it self: "The church needs to be a reproductive organ.".
Discussing Peter's denial of Christ and our own failings: "How many of you have ever pulled a Peter".
The fun never stops.
I've been a consultant for several years. This is excellent (I forwarded it to my partners). I would agree also with Daniel above. Don't be afraid to be the expert. That's what you're being paid to be.
Thanks for sharing.
I agree with your post. Seth Godin is a zebra as we say in the medical field. Not what you expect when you hear the approaching hoof beats. Because he's a unique animal, he can get away with this. You (or me or any number of people) aren't him. Traditional distribution channels still exist for a reason. Granted, there is less and less friction but most writers still need the helping hand.
I'm an infrequent commenter but daily reader. Love your blog.
Attachments in Mac Mail. I can't seem to make an attachment bar like Outlook/Entourage have. That would be nice. Or I just may be clueless.
Ah, a new technique- shaming one into investing. As Dr. Phil would say, "how's that workin' out for you". Ugh.
I made the switch about the same time you did (although I retain MS Office). My concern was also how the Mac native apps would mesh with Exchange. Clearly, I needn't have been concerned. My MacBook Pro (same model as yours) is a delight to use and has become my primary computer. I willed my Sony laptop to my wife and HP desktop to the kids. I'm a believer.
