Get Clients Now – C.J. Hayden
This article was originally published on August 1st, 2008. And I still use a modified version of her 28 day plan on a monthly basis! Some books are great because they make you look at things in a completely new way; others because they reinforce what you already think and do. Get Clients Now! is really powerful because it does both at the same time. I found myself nodding my head repeatedly as C.J. went though ideas and tools that I use already and that I recommend to my clients. At the same time, she was able to challenge some of my preconceived notions and bring some fresh air to my own marketing. Get Clients Now! is essentially a … [Read more...]

There’s a method to his … [Read more...]
How to Share Your Experience (and NOT your Resume) on LinkedIn
How do you talk about your past on LinkedIn? It's easy to look at the Experience and Education sections on your LinkedIn profile as the "resume" part of the profile. There's a slight problem, though. No one wants to read your resume. Even corporate recruiters and headhunters don't want to read a resume. But then how are you supposed to talk about your past work life?
