Outsourcing it to ghostwriters doesn't always save time because the business owner must still interact with the writer and will still need to edit unless they have some great sympatico. Using an interview-style podcast puts the business owner into content creation mode. The key is using the outsider to be the interviewer and pull that content out of the expert business owner. Then, just repurpose it by transcribing and rewriting. The rewrite is always going to be easier because the expert spoke it in the first place! Creating content is the hardest part.

But sadly it ends with my job started. Now no time for daily notes. Only weekly summaries I mention in my book.    Hi I am Crish, I used to write my daily notes from my school time.

Solitude can amount to greatness. Einstein amongst others wanted space and believed it was crucial for them to create their success. (Even divorcing his wife and paying for everything to keep her and the kids away.)  Extreme but solitude should not be considered trouble.  Totally Disagree with your bullet point on the cow.

Since I am involved in financial public relations/investor relations, and utilize social media for marketing/networking, here's a small glimpse of what I start my day reviewing: The Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News from Seeking Alpha. The Forbes morning digest of topics I follow such as Investing, Markets, Stocks. Smartbrief.com is a great resource for me. I receive the SIFMA SmartBrief (sifma.org) and the Financial Services Roundtable first thing every morning. I also receive the SmartBrief on Social Media and the SmartBrief on Leadership. These pull together headlines from Harvard Business Review, Open Forum, Conversation Agent, etc. I then refer to twitter because I have people such as yourself, Copyblogger, Jamie Crager, Mashable, etc. on a list. Now, on the weekends when the market is closed is a whole different story :-D Thanks again for sharing and inviting me to do the same. Posts such as this are where I learn of terrific bloggers who I may not have found on my own. Lisa Sawyer President Guardian Financial Services Group http://guardian-fsg.com/ Hi Bill,
