Welcome to Baltimore!

Deborah Gallant — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:04:08 +0000

One of my very favorite things about my new home here in Baltimore is that you can hear the church bells chiming at every hour (I think). Right now it is noon on my first official workday here in Charm City and I believe I am hearing the bells from the Baltimore Cathedral. Other than that, I’ve been holed up in my thankfully air-conditioned house unpacking boxes (it’s like a treasure hunt for your own possessions!) and trying to catch up on a backlog of work. Luckily the cats have settled in and we’re getting used to the new routines and rituals associated with a new house. So far, so good. Pleased to hear from so many old friends, clients and colleagues in the Baltimore/Washington corridor who want to hook up. Feeling very welcomed.

I miss you all already.

I finally went public with the big news that I am moving to Baltimore at the end of this month. I just slipped it into my monthly business building newsletter and the outpouring from many of you has been so heartwarming. I’ve heard from many of the Southern California business owners and clients I’ve worked with in the eight plus years I’ve lived here. Many of you reminded me of projects, events and groups from many years ago. It is so easy to forget how many people we touch every day and how your impact can remain even long after you’ve lost daily touch with each person. I am not moving until the end of the month, but all of your touching messages make me miss SoCal already!

Sometimes you’ve got to throw away your prepared remarks…

Did a wonderful, meaty little presentation/impromptu mastermind session this morning at my colleague Jacque Mills’ spa, Soft Touch Beauty Solutions. For the month of May, she’s hosting various speakers in her spa and I was scheduled to talk this morning about Women and Starting Up Your Own Business. When every woman who attended (and thank you to all of you for coming!) turned out to already have businesses started up, I tossed out my talk. Instead, we all participated in a spontaneous business coaching/mastermind, brainstorming ideas for each other and helping get each woman to get a handle on her current business issues/dilemmas. What fun for me, I think they enjoyed it too!

Captcha Forms for hire?

Deborah Gallant — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 03:30:29 +0000

Couldn’t believe the blurb in yesterday’s New York Times (a surprisingly useful section on Monday covers cyberworld) that spammers have figured out a way around those “captcha” forms—you know those little puzzle things you need to complete when you are doing an online form. Apparently there are people out there willing to sit hour after hour for pennies filling out these forms on behalf of the bad guys. So…yes, you are still preventing your site from getting automated spiders and bots filling out those forms, but when a wage slave in Indonesia will do hundreds of them per hour, well, you can’t get around that. How annoying.

What an amazing event!

An exhausted thank you to all who attended our One Day Web Makeover today in Sherman Oaks. Co-presenter Libby Gill and I loved doing it and here’s the best part: even if you missed it, you can catch it on (almost) instant replay since we taped the whole thing and will be turning it into a powerful three (or possibly four) part DVD learning series. Stay tuned for updates and early-bird pre-release pricing on this terrific learning opportunity. Wait til you see it and the wonderful testimonials from the participants today. Thanks for the memories, gang!

How do you feel about blogging?

Deborah Gallant — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:30:51 +0000

I am starting to prepare for a webinar I’ll present in April about Blogging. So I’m online doing research about blogs, the good, the bad and the ugly. This blog is actually a wholly-contained part of my marketing website and I still find it difficult to find enough time and enough interesting and worthwhile material to write about to make it a compelling destination. Have you invested time and energy into blogging and has it paid off for you? Would love to hear your experience…pro and con!
