Michael Hyatt Blog : Five Strategies for Building New Habits

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:51:51 +0000

Michael, Great timing for me on this post. I just finished John Maxwell's "PUT YOUR DREAM TO THE TEST" (Published by TN, of course!) and listed about 7 bad habits that I need to overcome to achieve my dream. I cannot do them all at once, but look forward to working with my Building Champions coach to put a plan in place to break those habits. This will give me a head start!!

Sally, I think you are on to something with the teenage son thing!

Mike, Great simplification. I could use some work on the Outposts as well as doing a better job of tying it all back to home base.

Very clear direction on communicating vision. I expect nothing less from John and his simple, pragamatic, effective teaching style. Thank you

Michael Hyatt Blog : Answers to the Top 10 Twitter Objections

Thu, 2 Jul 2009 02:16:18 +0000

If you speak with my wife, she really claims # 8 for Facebook, and don't even mention Twitter. I have been attempting to explain to the GenX-er's that the Facebook/Twitter generation actually feel that social media actually feels more personal than a phone call to some folks and that text messaging for a teen is very personal...Ulitmately, it's difficult to overcome several of these with those who simply don't want to change...

Michael Hyatt Blog : What’s Still Missing from the Kindle 2?

Tue, 5 May 2009 10:26:21 +0000

The price point would have to be much lower. I would prefer to do it off my current laptop and it sounds like that reader technology is not that far off, so with a 3-year payback, I have to believe the technology would change must faster than my payback...

Michael Hyatt Blog : That eBook Thing Will Never Catch On

Fri, 1 May 2009 12:56:34 +0000

35-36 books?! You REALLY have to be a reader! My goal is one book per month, so that is a 3-year payback. Too long for me knowing that in less than 12 months the technology will simply change too much. Bring me a reader for the laptop and I'm in! I like the 'look' of a nice book on a bookshelf and the ease at which I can go back to pull it off the shelf, but the reader has so much potential in terms of bookmarking, blogging, and presentations. I think THAT is where the value needs to be...not in the price of the book...

Michael Hyatt Blog : Experimenting with Digital Delivery

From an operational perspective, I think publishers will need to get to more of an on-demand type of printing, thus reducing the wasteful inventory in the pipeline. I don' tknow the data on spontaneity of book purchases, but I have to believe the old theory of printing a BUNCH reduces cost must be challenged in this environment. Outside of that, I look forward to participating in shaping the future of the industry.

Michael Hyatt Blog : The Not To-Do List

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 03:05:59 +0000

Great post, Michael. My recent thoughts on what not-to-do have been more internal than external(www.john-gallagher.blogspot.com), but as I move forward in a new career, I must get better at this. I will work on this during Spring Break next week...or wait...maybe I should have "don't work on vacation" on my not-to-do list? ;o)

Michael Hyatt Blog : Worry and Imagination: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Tue, 7 Apr 2009 19:30:19 +0000

Great post, Michael. I recently blogged about my NOT to-do list and it was clear that the number 1 things I needed NOT to-do was worry about things outside of my control. WORRY is an energy vampire. IMAGINATION is an energy lifter. I clearly know the physical and mental differences in how I FEEL between these two.

Michael Hyatt Blog : The QuickStudy Guide to Social Networking

Mon, 6 Apr 2009 20:52:14 +0000

I have Tribes on my To Read list. Currently, I need to do some time blocking (Building Champions client!) to ensure that these forms of media don't engulf my time. Currently, I am reading Ready for Anything by David Allen. As far as other resources, I think following those who share interests with you are the best resources of 'how-to'. As a Realtor, I specifically use some blogs there that help, including the Tomato Blogging Coach.

Seems that change is a constant and necesary in today's ever-changing markets. Best of luck to you and the TN team

Michael Hyatt Blog : The Kindle After One Week

Mon, 9 Mar 2009 01:36:58 +0000

I have not yet purchased a Kindle and don't have immediate plans to purchase one. I do have significant interest, just not $300+ interest. I love the concept and if I traveled more, I would increase my desire for an e-reader (Sony or Kindle). I would love to try one out. I want to know how easy it is to highlight and 'file' specific 'aha' items. Currently, when I read a book, I highlight and then dogear. I would love to be able to do that by tagging the items under topics like you can with Google reader.

Mike, Thanks for this tip. It worked out for me.

Michael Hyatt Blog : How to Update Your Facebook Status with Twitter

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:50:51 +0000

I also use the Ping.fm platform to update the networks I use. It can update all networks at once, or selected networks, including my blog. I still have some kinks to work out with it. I tend to use Ping for articles I want to share with business networks (LinkedIn and Plaxo), Twitter to update Twitter and Facebook, and Facebook for social updates. Seems a little cumbersome (it can be), but works for me right now. I just have multiple tabs in IE open for each service.
