Get out of town

By

I’m sitting in a kitchen talking with Liz Strauss and Sheila Scarborough and thinking that this is the value of getting out of town.

We just discussed some blogging secrets. (Put your name on your blog!) We’re moving on to business models.

So I’m just sayin’, get out of town. Go to conferences. Get away with some business-minded friends. Come up with new ideas, take new inspiration, and dream up new opportunities.

And if you don’t hear from me for a few days, it’s because I’m taking my own advice at SXSW.
