So, a colleague of mine asked if this was a spam or "made for adsense" site. While it lacks some of the design polish, it's really just, how shall I say it, "authentic" - Sales people (especially good ones) aren't web designers. I assure you it's made by me, and isn't spam. 

While we're at it, a couple of new changes: 1) it's now white, and easier on the eye, and you can actually read the text in the hover callouts 2) responding to popular demand, if you'd like to give attribution to your post, please add your name or user name in parentheses after the title, like (anonymous) or (username) or (your name). E.g. Three Favorite Bloggers (Steve Thommes). Here are few more title ideas that have been brought up: Date Night Activities, Best 2005 Vintage, Wine to Drink This Year, Top Secret Cooking Tips and Sales Skills for Superstars. Cool stuff!

Lastly, one of my New Years Resolutions was to "nurture my network". Already a lot of you have reached out, commented, made suggestions, and even re-kindled a an old ad-serving opportunity. Nice! and Thank you! Get the conversation going and share What Are You Passionate About? with your friends, family and colleagues!

Today, Monday, 1/4/2010, is for most of us our first day back in the office. Back on the phone and visiting prospects. How can I empower their success? The Holiday has been a time of reflection. January is named after the Roman god Janus, the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings, and is often depicted as having two faces, one which looks backward and the other gazing forward. 

2009 was a tremendous success. And even as I closed an important deal on New Years Eve, I'm looking forward even more to 2010. Careerwise, what are you passionate about in 2010?
