Appreciation is a Verb

 

Appreciation: (n) an expression of admiration approval, or gratitude

 

I was sitting in my loft office (Yes, it's very necessary for me to call it this. It makes me feel pretty. Pretty awesome.), and one of my clients' relatives came into the office. He said, "You know, Joey really loves your…

Do What You Say You're Going To Do

I woke up to an e-mail from my awesome boss and president of the company that I work for. He asked me where I've been, if I was working somewhere else, and what was going on. Basically he was feeling (rightfully) ignored.

 

It made me take a step back and realize that yes, there were some technical errors on my end, yet the bottom line was that I offer…

On Activation Engergy

I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't.

You know those days where you plan on getting up nice and early and taking a run in the park, the alarm goes off, and you think to yourself "Yeah, not going."

 

That same day you come home and you see the television remote in front of you and you think "Yeah, this is more like it".

Telling Negative Nellie To Shut Up

We all have those moments of "This sucks", "Why am I doing this?", "This month is a waste", "Maybe I should just quit". It's human nature to doubt ourselves. Even the Dalai Lama has an internal negative nellie. I'd be willing tobet on it. 

 

In those moments of self doubt, what do you do? Do you push through those feelings? Do you swallow them? Do you…

[as featured on CarChat24's blog]

 

We’re a live chat company. Just in case the name of the product (CarChat24) didn’t give it away, I just thought I’d state the obvious. What do you think about us?

Social Media: Who's Your Audience?

Last night, I had the urge to blog. I didn't have a set topic in mind. I just knew I wanted to talk about the car biz. I didn't search the web for the newest, greatest news. I didn't crawl other automotive blogs to see what they were talking about. I simply wrote. It wasn't about our product. I didn't even mention the benefits of having Automotive Live Chat (even though, guys, totally worth it.) Social Media was on my mind so that's what I wrote about. It's what I know.
