Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

Christie Scott I'm looking for a few passionate entrepreneurs who are trying to "save the world." I'm producing a new reality show for the net where I talk to entrepreneurs about their ups and downs. If you're interested in being a guest, leave me comment below so we can connect. Thanks!

Ryan Paugh So my Mom just called to tell me that she's mentoring someone on Brazen Careerist now. I think that's pretty awesome. I've always thought that Brazen was a great place to bridge the Generation Gap. So I'm wondering if more parents of Gen-Y professionals might start popping up here and mentoring the younger members of the community. What do you think? Would your parents consider joining Brazen? Would they like it? Would they understand how to use it?

Ryan Paugh Are you making some time during the 4th of July weekend to relax? Catch up with family and friends? Not work? The 4th is always that time during the summer when I realize that I've been moving too fast and I need to slow down. Go outside and enjoy yourself this weekend. Hang out with the people that are important to you. The work will still be there next week. Happy 4th of July!

Julie Allemagne Just got back from a wonderful presentation from Michelle Venturini, presenting on Health Care Reform, sponsored by Fitchburg Chamber of Commerce. Does the common employee get what's coming soon? I don't think so.

Jay Goldman Thought you might all be interested in a free webinar we're hosting with Bob Sutton, Stanford Business professor and author of The No Asshole Rule. Bob's joining us on July 8th as part of our Rypple Leadership Series, to give a sneak peek at his new book, Good Boss, Bad Boss. He'll be speaking for about 30 minutes and will take questions from the audience, so come prepared! More info and registration at http://bit.ly/969isk. Hope you can make it!

Mike Ambassador Bruny Brazen Family, check out the collaboration between Me and Scott Rossow who I met on Brazen. Hmmm, where are the opportunities for you to collaborate? www.hiphopaffirmations.com (Also note tomorrow will be my 182nd hip hop affirmation blog for this year (that's right I set a goal to get 365 done--one a day and I'm half way there. "Yes!" Show me some love by visiting and leaving a comment tomorrow.)

Julie Allemagne Just launched my first blog on wordpress-how do I get traffic to the site and become more active?

TOP IDEA: Julie Allemagne Add a top idea!

Caroline Ceniza-Levine What worries you, masters you. - Haddon W. Robinson When you worry, do you focus on the problems or the solutions? What we focus on expands. How would you be if you focused on solutions, next steps or possibilities, instead of problems, worst-case scenarios, and blame? Regain mastery of yourself. Focus on your options, new ideas, and the upside.
