Putting people at ease

Liz Strauss says you’re only a stranger once. She calls herself a 65th Crayon, a Saloon Keepers Daughter. She says her brothers Angelo and Pasquale pay people to like her. She calls people SOB, or BAD Bloggers, and they like it. She’s a character, fun to be around.

And she’s a sharp, smart business person. I said when we spent a week together at SXSW, that we would probably start four new businesses together. I find that we are frequently working along the same lines, though from our own direction.

If you want to learn how to blog, you owe yourself a visit to Liz’s archives at Successful Blog. If you want to improve your business, work with Liz.

I’m proud to say that Liz is my friend. Happy Birthday, Liz.

    And you and liz are important reminders that there are people behind the screens. Real people.
