I’m excited that the group project I worked on all winter, Twitter for Dummies, hits stores warehouses next week and stores first week in July (correction from Wiley).

This is a question I ponder frequently. Have you focused on building a micro network and a nationwide network, or have you isolated yourself by walling off your garden?
I’m big on the idea of helping people and networking at a hyper local level. I also believe that your network is most effective if it also [...]

You have to be well rounded. You have to take chances, and stretch yourself past where you think you can go. Do you make sure to do this on a regular basis?
