Hello 2011!

I’m so excited you are here! But before I say hello I need to say goodbye to 2010.

Good bye

Here are a few things I’d like to say goodbye to.

1. Popups, auto-players and wandering avatars.  There are more innovative and more profitable methods you can get my attention with dear marketer.

2. Goodbye thoughtless communication. Awesome!!  (Yup…I’m making fun of the overuse of “awesome”. I’m not going to say its use should be banned because I’m not into censorship. We don’t have to be Toni Morrison-level wordsmiths but we can mix it up a bit, no?)

3. Goodbye hope and change. If your employer said they hoped they could pay you it wouldn’t sound so great. I’m not saying these concepts have zero merit. I’m just putting my energy into supporting concepts I can feel and see the fruits of: Responsibility, results and passion.

Hello 2011.

1. Hello passion. What I want to see and what we need is responsible and focused passion. It is active, motivating and creative. Isabel Allende’s Ted Talk rocks with passion:

2. Hello…enough. As in we are enough. Do, have, be and are enough.

3. Hello…everything that is calm, quiet, positive and a little slower.

*Re: Beatles…Here’s an amazing documentary called Who is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everybody Talking About Him. Detailes Nilsson’s close relationship with the band especially that of John Lennon. His Grammy-winning hit Everybody’s Talkin‘ from the 1969 movie Midnight Cowboy.
