Good, Fast, Cheap: A New Take

by Joe J Thomas

Good, Fast, Cheap - Pick 2
There’s an old project management saying that states: “Good, Fast, Cheap – Pick Two”.
The implication is that it is impossible to have a project that embodies all three qualities (good, fast and cheap).

Using this saying, we are faced with the following possibilities: Continue reading

Read My Blog!

Attention!

Blog. Blogging. Blogger.

These words didn’t even exist 20 years ago. And now they seem to dominate the online landscape. What started as a simple “Web Log” has turned into so much more. News, opinion, diaries, reviews, promotions, etc. But what does it all mean? And what’s the purpose of any individual blog?

The Great Unsubscribe!

a poem by Joe J Thomas

 
Classes! Deals! Special Offers!
Designed to fill the seller’s coffers
From these my in-box overflows
When will they stop? No one knows!
I will end these desperate pleas
The needy masses who push their cheese
Delete! Purge! Unsubscribe!
Please do forgive my diatribe

It’s a Numbers Game

Numbers. Useful little things. We rely on them for all kinds of information. But that information is not always as beneficial as it seems. In fact, relying on numbers can become an addictive crutch, or even cause undue stress. Join me on my new quest to go on a “Numbers Diet”! Continue reading

When Did You Stop Doing Your Job?

(an open rant to those who view coaching as the apex of all careers)

Q: How is a Free VO Conference Call like a Free Vacation at a Time Share?
A: (c’mon, you already know the answer!)

I dunno about you, but one of my current pet peeves it the sheer volume of advertising I am deluged with by folks trying to sell me their coaching services. Continue reading

Buzzketing (Buzzword Marketing)

Buzzketing (Buzzword Marketing)

Hi gang,

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of marketing and buzzwords (*wink!*).

So, I’ve combined the two into a new word: Buzzketing!

Buzzketing (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.)
\ˈbəz-kə-tiŋ\

Definition:
Excessive use of buzzwords in marketing media and presentations.
May be accompanied by a glazed look, rapid speech, 
and a desperate need for validation.

“But wait, Joe”, you may be saying, “How can I use Buzzketing to talketize my objectivization potentiameter kill-zone, whilst still conveying a negative info-quotient contentualized drop-package?”

(translation: you’d like to talk a lot while saying absolutely nothing)

Here’s how it’s done – give a listen!
