Taking Sabbatical!

I looked up the word Sabbatical and its definition pretty well describes what I am going to be doing.

A sabbatical year is a prolonged hiatus, typically one year, in the career of an individual taken in order to fulfill some goal, e.g., writing a book or traveling extensively for research.

Well, I guess it is time to finally fess up that none of this stuff out here on the internet really works. I would like to say it is just me, but unfortunately there are a large number of us out here that are now realizing that None of this is really all worth it.

I will be taking a sabbatical to work on my next book that I will be outlining all of the fallacies of the internet…until then you may want to check out my other book to catch up on what is going on.

You can check out the periodic blogs I will post over at my main site, IBGS Blog. Hope you enjoy the archive of blogs I have posted here.

A Better Day

The day started off like most…sitting right here in front of this computer monitor. It is Tuesday, Tree Top Tuesday or TTT as I call it. That is when my stat meters start spiking higher than the rest of the week. Kinda looks like large trees standing above the rest of the lower points on the graph.

I thought yesterday was going to be a rare high traffic day, a Monumental Motivated Monday, or MMM day.

OK, enough of all this dreaming. Traffic to all of my sites has been way down….it has been for some time now. What the heck is going on?

Got some feedback that my comments to people blogs or to their sites are hurting their precious feelings. Wish I know who’s blog was pouting . Guess they need to read my latest on Generational Challenges.

Rex Dixon is still cooking with his Technically Speaking site. He is also reporting things being a little slow traffic wise for his site.

Then over at DigitalGolf and TheGolfApproach, the two golf sites that shot it to me straight, also say traffic is all off. The GolfGirl, well I image her site is cooking like it always does, but hey, with pictures like this and the fashion she reports on, I am sure traffic is steady. Now as far as the Fairway Flapper, who knows. I have not heard from that site yet to get to know who is running that show,,.,guess I need to reach out again. Hope they are not one of the pouters who think getting constructive criticism is negative.

Heading to the Texas Ranger Game to have a business meeting with a new client…it was raining or I would have played Business Golf…I’ll have more on that when I get back tonight..

Taking A Half Day Off!

OK, Thursday evening I needed to take a break and stopped working on my three sites, IBGS, Business Golf and this one. I think I have provided enough content to keep the spiders busy for a few minutes anyway.

I cracked open my file that hold my twelve books I am writing and picked one to write a chapter or two. Like in all of books, I get to the point so the chapters are really short.

Since I was going to be playing in a member-guest golf tournament the next day I wanted to capture some thoughts on golf tournaments and how winning and losing is something golfers need to know how to do. This chapter is going to be a good one.

I went back into my notes from the number of conversations I have had with my good friend who is the executive director of the Northern Texas PGA. We have had many discussion on how a golfer not knowing how to win and not knowing how to lose a golf tournament can ruin his/her image to a point nobody will want to be around them or play golf with them.

So, after spending some energy getting my readers ready for my next books I needed to take a break form that…so it was off to my Netvibes to scan the 876 RSS feeds I have to the world.

I usually check RD’s feed to see if he has found something of importance…then for a refresh look at things I bounce over to the Golf Girl who usually has something different to think about or look at…a different approach to golf through the ladies eyes is always entertaining for me and important since 80% of my client base are women business people.

I have to check on my feeds to DigitalGolf.tv and TheGolfApproach.com to see what those outstanding Non-SF golf sites are up to.

Generally I will get some notice from my inter-circle on something to check out…this time Golf Girl provided me a site of another lady golfer blogging, Fairway Flapper…a yet another approach from the lady golfers to report the golf news. It is another one of the clean sites I like to go to check out now…so I will probably be cranking up he ol Business Golf Triangle to give her a push into cyberspace.

Then I go over and check out my other supporters site…Elizabeth Marshall and Kammie Kobyleski I stop by to review from time to time….I am putting Elizabeth up on the interview calendar to produce a podcast with her soon.

Speaking of Podcasts, I am sure all of the Podcasters of the world have heard that ClickCaster is turning their site into a Pay-For site. Mr Business Golf has evacuated his presence since their was no ROI from the FREE side to justify paying for something that provided nothing back…more on this from RD and I over the next few months.

Then I always end my day taking a look at a few of my large base of attorneys’ sites who are slowing coming online… Tamera Bennett, with her Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law site and Kat Tidd, with her Franchise Law practice are worth checked out to see what they have to say.

Then it is off to bed where golf will be part of my next few days activities…I suggest everyone learn to play golf…it is really worth it..
