This first video to be cranked out is an interview with Chris Cree from successcreeations.com. In this video I ask Chris about his involvement with SOBCon as well as getting Chris to share some tips for bloggers and tell share what he thinks separates successful bloggers from everybody else. Chris shares some awesome tips in this video but I think the most poignant one 2008-05-13 04:40:49 PDT http://technorati.com/search/blog.oflaherty.dk/2008/05/13/interview-with-chris-cree-sobcon08/ 104 745 http://blog.fuelmyblog.com/2008/05/fuelmyblog-interviews-chris-cree.html http://blog.fuelmyblog.com/2008/05/fuelmyblog-interviews-chris-cree.html Tue, 13 May 2008 04:26:00 -0700 While at SOBCon08, I had the distinct pleasure of interview a number of outstanding bloggers.

Throughout the weekend’s activities, one theme that continued to present itself is that we have the power within us to achieve anything. As you will see in the posts highlighted below, we are often our own worst enemy as our minds impose artificial limits on what we think we can do. We need to stop limiting ourselves with negative thoughts and trust in our abilities, as 2008-05-12 19:48:44 PDT http://technorati.com/search/dereksemmler.com/2008/05/12/speedlinking-the-power-within-you/ 189 394 http://mattscuppa.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/matts-daily-diigo-post-05132008/ http://mattscuppa.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/matts-daily-diigo-post-05132008/ Mon, 12 May 2008 17:30:41 -0700 SOBCon08 Attendees | Manitou Heights tags: sobcon08 2008-05-12 17:30:41 PDT http://technorati.com/search/mattscuppa.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/matts-daily-diigo-post-05132008/ 16 26 http://www.terrystarbucker.com/2008/05/12/chicken-tikka-masala-and-the-power-of-the-individual/ http://www.terrystarbucker.com/2008/05/12/chicken-tikka-masala-and-the-power-of-the-individual/ Mon, 12 May 2008 10:37:48 -0700 One of the more fascinating discussions I had during SOBCon08 was with Chris Garrett on our way back to the airport (it’s amazing the conversations you can strike up when you are stuck in Chicago traffic!). We were talking about favorite foods and the discussion led to Indian cuisine, and our favorite types of Indian food. One of those was a dish called Chicken Tikka Masala. It consists of chicken, cooked in a tomato and yogurt based curry. Very good stuff. Chris then relayed the “legend” o 2008-05-12 10:37:48 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.terrystarbucker.com/2008/05/12/chicken-tikka-masala-and-the-power-of-the-individual/ 122 284 TerryStarbucker.com http://viverati.com/i-was-going-to-write-about-sobcon-but-part-two/ http://viverati.com/i-was-going-to-write-about-sobcon-but-part-two/ Mon, 12 May 2008 10:17:49 -0700 L-R: Christine Kane, me, Chris Cree,Chris Garrett No exploding tires, no big catastrophe this time, don’t worry. But I had it in mind to write a great review of what happened at SOBCon08, and then I thought—especially in light of all the great reviews being posted out there—would that really be helpful? Would it help you to hear about the things I did, the food I ate, thepeople I talked to, and the sights I saw on my trip to Chicago this month? No, not really. It probably wouldn’t.

The book made me smile because some of what I read in there were self perpetuating little white lies I told myself over the years. (Photo credit: “mangu” wanders by) We all do it. But that doesn’t make it right. We create our own adversity when we try to get away with lies we tell ourselves.

Denise Wakeman of Blog Squad fame asked that question of Chris Garrett. The conversation that grew created a bed of blogging tips. Watching the interview (5 1/2 minutes) Chris makes it pretty clear that a successful blog, like a successful business, is built on planning, focus, clarity and knowing your audience.

I went to Chicago for a conference, not just to go to jazz gigs, wander around and look at public art, travel on the local rail (it’s called the ‘L’ train because it’s short for ‘Elevated’ - who knew?), drink in bars and buy records.

I’ve posted a lot on the great lessons and relationships I took away from SOBCon08. Over the next few days (or however long it takes) I’ll be working to incorporate those lessons into the blog here at Matt’s Cuppa. But it’s not just my blog, it’s your community as well.
