If you haven't been watching Twitter or FaceBook (specifically me on Twitter or FaceBook), I had a hard drive crash on Friday. It isn't good... I used to back up pretty regularly, but had kind of drifted away from it lately. It isn't good.
The hard drive has started clicking and

I had a website company call me today... They wanted me to buy into their system. Since I have two closings in the next two business days, my time might be called a little crunched...

It was a lock... I was going to the Lynchburg rebarcamp later this week. All of the arrangements had been made, clearances had been obtained from the local authorities (that would be my wife and kids). I was going to ride up with another local agent and then get dropped off

My answer would be almost never... and constantly.
A couple of times per year I try to break away from the machines and enjoy a little real off-time. Not much... just a few days here and there. Heck, I've been known to work through issues while waiting my turn on the

Chris Brogan?
He was just the keynote speaker yesterday at the New Media Atlanta event here in Atlanta. Honestly, I knew from the bio that Matt Fagioli sent out (excitedly) that Chris co-wrote Trust Agents... but I hadn't heard of the book, and I didn't know he was "significant".
