The answer to that question weighed strongly in favour of the “i’m here” factor then, but now – in a changed economy – everything is geography-independent and is driven by people with big ideas.. people who make change happen. Then he continues on to something that really abducted all my attention (i’m a natural mental multi-tasker) for the full 2 minutes he spent expounding on this. Mongezi asks why one should give stuff away for free, and his answer is classic. Seth says that two mindsets are at play here. The poverty mindset, which holds that everything is about me.. mine.. more for me and the tendency to hold on to things. The mindset of wealth – on the other hand – says that “i can be generous”. He says people who give stuff away are the ones with real people with real power; the ones who can afford to. Reminded me of Chris Andersen’s “Free”, which I read last year sometime.

The one thing about this video that really grabbed me is how Will Smith breaks down the difference between talent and skill, and which one should be given priority. Without saying too much, I just thought I’d share this with those that know me, those that love me and those that come across this blog via random Googling.

I believe in the video above popular blogging guru Darren Rowse explains perfectly what I have been doing for quite some time to build my social media presence. I have just never thought about actually putting it in words and “terming” it.
So there.. YESS.. I’ve been doing Homebase and Outpost Marketing all this time..
The future is flexible…
