			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There comes a point in time where we all crack under pressure. Today, that’s me.</p>
<p>You probably notice I have not updated for a while and I’ve received a steady flow of emails; thanks to those who asked if I was still with the living. Most just assumed it was due to my great Canadian tour. It is <strong>very</strong> flattering to be receiving regular e-mails asking for new blog content and I thank you all for that!</p>
<p>To be honest I’ve written plenty of new content but have held it back. Not because I’m out of the blogging world but because I am transforming my role in the blogging world. Over the past few months I have been working with @KathyMagrino (Owner / Marketing Consultant with TheWriteWay.com and Adjunct Professor in Communications &amp; Journalism at Rider University) on a co-blog dedicated to providing thoughtful, useful, deep and practical posts in marketing, technology, social media, management and operations for small business and soloists. We’re even working on some fantastic workbooks and self evaluation kits!</p>
<p>The venture is at a point where we will be going public in a month. We have few things left to nut out and little technology left to solve. Keep tight, there will be plenty more blogs from the both of us very soon.</p>
