Now I'm an S.O.B.!

I never thought I'd be proud to have someone call me an S.O.B., but when it comes from Liz Strauss, it's an honor! Liz has named me one of this week's Successful and Outstanding Bloggers.

Here is how Liz describes an S.O.B.:

When the SOB program started, I was looking for a way to encourage the sense of community that Successful-Blog stood for. We’re all about relationships and conversation here. The conversations are fun, fast, and sometimes irreverent. Discussions on the blog often brought up good ideas, and I wanted to make sure those ideas continued and become more out in the blogosphere–everyone making everyone a little bit better. It’s the only way that we can make ourselves strong here in what they call “The Magic Middle.” We talk to each other and we listen too.

Blogging makes the world very small and really does prove how we are all connected, whether we live in Denmark (Alex) or England (Nick) or Canada (Greg) or Wisconsin (Phil) or Illinois (Liz) or Washington (Lisa) or Connecticut (Terry) or Texas (Chris). I consider all these people friends, even though I've never met them in person.

So thanks, Liz, for making me an S.O.B. I'll display my badge with pride!

Why Is There A Michael Jackson Song in My Head?

For some reason Michael Jackson's "BAD" is going through my head right now ... could it be because Liz Strauss has made me a B.A.D. Blogger?

Yes! I'm honored, Liz! When we talked on January 1, we found we had so much in common (no surprise there) including our Make It Great Guy buddy Phil Gerbyshak (the king of blogging) and Steve Farber (the king of Extreme Leadership).

I'm looking forward to more connections and future projects with Liz ... "because I'm bad, I'm bad ..." :-D
