Re: Crowdify Blog | How to become a Crowdify City Manager and what is in it for you

not quite sure what this is but am interested in hearing more about what a city manager does and what the benefit of this would be to a local community.

Re: Blind and disabled ‘family’ will be ripped apart by group home closure, say staff

We live in a pretty grim town and province when you think that there are 12,000 of the most vulnerable in our community without service...and that they are ending up on the streets to fend for themselves. Most of these people do not have a voice and depend on others to speak up. Shameful Ontario!

Re: The Power Of Leverage

rebeccahappy — Tue, 11 May 2010 23:07:55 -0000

I think when billionaires leverage their time they do it to save time. They do not use every single second to be productive but rather on every task at hand they may give themselves 100%. When they have their slob days or their tv days or their family days or fun days they will also do it 100%. It may not even be by days but rather scheduled times.

Here is a piece of information that I heard from a very wealthy person....the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is that a billionaire will review their goals 3 times a day rather than 2. Most people don't even have goals. Interesting.

Re: 3 Reasons Quality Backlinks Are Better

I like the discussion here and I know a little bit more from it. My question would be that in knowing this why would you belong to a tribe then if you thought it was harmful to you. I think that as Karin says it is not quite as black and white.If you look at tome very successful blogs they have all kinds of back links coming and going. If you go into a local community you will find that that because the town may be somewhat smaller more of them actually meet face to face so then become avid readers of certain people's blogs with sharing and guest writing and back linking. Some then become very successful blogs in terms of PR rankings.

Interesting concept the law of balance. WE all have this story in our own lives somewhere. Isn't it great when we get in the flow.

Re: The resource box-the wholy grail in article marketing

rebeccahappy — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:27:07 -0000

These sound like important points Karin but I am not quite clear on what you mean the resource box. Is this something for article sites or for your blog? What does it look like?

Re: How to write an article title that appeals to your readers and is SEO optimized

rebeccahappy — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 05:39:25 -0000

Thanks for this reminder. As I start to finally get going on a blog I will have to really focus on this. When you do a Hubpage it is forcibly spelled out for you but in WP you must be very focused.

Re: Secret Weapons, 37Signals, and Social Media Altitude

rebeccahappy — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 10:06:32 -0000

I think you need to know where your market is for some of them in terms of finding customers. For others you want to look at the impact they have on SEO and your virtual footprint. How easy are you to be found in the search engines when people put in their keywords.

Re: Written Wednesday – Why We Include People in Our Lives

rebeccahappy — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 08:42:09 -0000

I guess there are many ways to drive this reflection but I think I will attempt to touch on one. One little comment before however in response to something you said in the video...selfishness: everything we do is selfish

I have had the opportunity of doing some work with Cara-Rose Brown Bouncing Back -who is part of the group launching this new book next week ... Thriving in Changing Times featuring over 50 authors
who are top-professionals from all around the world, including Dr. Wayne Dyer, John Assaraf, Brian Tracy and David Riklan. She does a lot of work around the Laws of the Universe. One of them being the law of balance. She can explain it better than I can. This law being that everything including human qualities or traits are good and bad equally. Take any word for example "selfish" and make a list of all the "negative" benefits it brings and then on the flip make an equally long list of all the "positive" benefits it brings.When you can see the balance in it the trait or word will no longer have any power over you in regards to judgement. You will be able to embrace the selfishness in you good and bad and celebrate that amazing quality.
Part of that process in cracking that open would be to look at all the times in your life when someone was selfish to you....look for the gift in it (the positive benefit..as in what did you learn or how did it make you grow) Where in your life were you selfish to anther and do the same thing.
Know that everyone who you let into your life good and bad has a gift for you. What you perceive as the absolute worst person experience often brings the most important gift of all that brings you to the next level of your development.
Not sure if I gave this justice...but to try and sum it up in regards to your question..most people come to the table with good will. What I would harbour to suggest here is there is always bad will there too as the universe will always be there to push you forward.In your choosing then pick those who you like the best to hang with or to enter your life. The good and bad will be there but at least you will be amongst friends.LOL

I tis interesting to take note of how we grow and refine ourselves over the seasons. I believe that as we become more intentional in our choices our potential for exponential growth also opens up.Sometimes we are lucky to get these insights early on. Practicing that 30 day detox has certainly been beneficial to you.
As you go to the next level as there always is a next level, redefining your relationship to the relationships that molded you as a child will certainly be interesting as you come to better know yourself in the process.

Re: Success (For Those Who Just Can’t Succeed)

rebeccahappy — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:17:45 -0000

Well Russell....this was very long. If you want feedback here goes..if you want to use this for either of the 3 things you listed I think you need to go back and re-write it with very strict editing 2 or 3 more times. It is not clear to me what was the purpose of this post. What was your objective? Be careful not to patronize or be too preachy. You need to focus a little on hooking the brain and engaging your reader. (in passing you put the same paragraph in two times)
Keep working on it.

This is certainly a gem you have unveiled for us here. So far I only borrow pictures but have not really put any in a site for sharing. What a great idea.

Re: Social bookmarking sites as keyword selection tools?

This is absolutely wonderful Karin. I have not even looked at Delicius..only digg and stumblupon. The keyword help is a great clue you have shared. Thank-you.

Re: Who Owns Social Media? No-one Does

rebeccahappy — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:14:18 -0000

I work at a fairly large charity and we are bottle-necked with this kind of mindset. We are often very fear focused. Of course this is couched in bureaucratic jargon. For me I think it is too bad that we have to battle over these little things rather than embracing the new life that is brought about.

Re: Who Owns Social Media? No-one Does

rebeccahappy — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:28:47 -0000

Funny to read this..Are there people who are laying claim to ownership? I beleive to do business you need to have an exchange of sorts with individuals and it starts with a social interaction. Social media is just another way of being social. Human beings are social beings by nature. They will always find ways of connecting for transaction. Your categories describe how certain departments may choose to use it but behind the departments lay people who will also be social just in passing so may cross over into other departments as well.
I suppose with new tools businesses have to see where they want to invest their resources. Initially internet access was very limited but now most businesses can't exist without it. I am sure that the same will come to be as we all get used to what these new tools can do for us.
