Guest Post Marathon Aftermath

If you’re a regular reader, you probably know that I held a guest post marathon a few weeks back. I offered to write a guest post for anyone who asked, on any topic I felt reasonably comfortable with.

Since you probably usually enjoy my writing (or you wouldn’t be reading this :) ), I thought I’d point you to the guest posts I wrote for other blogs. Without further ado…

  1. Keeping your readers’ attention – why less is more – Simply Stephen asked me to write about simplicity. So I did – a short focused post where I tell the story of a great but oblivious musician that made me realize why less is often more.
  2. How giving makes you richer – Anja asked me why giving makes you richer (since economically it doesn’t make much sense). In this post I explain the funny psychological effects through which giving makes you materially (not just emotionally) richer! [note: the intro is in Swedish]
  3. Why parrots talk so much – If you’re expecting a crazy metaphor for life… you won’t find it here. This post is exactly about what the title says. Glavkos asked me to write about why parrots talk so much, so I delivered! [note: intro in Greek]
  4. How to Maintain Friendships – Karoly asked me to write about how to maintain friendships when your life circumstances change drastically (changing jobs, etc.). So I explain the 2 types of friendships and why it’s sometimes ok to let go of old friends.
  5. How to make learning fun – David originally asked me about “cool tricks for effective learning”. While I like cool tricks, I prefer to build them on top of a solid foundation – and I explain why fun is the key ingredient in my philosophy of learning! (with plenty of specific tips)

There, this should more than make up for my sporadic posting here lately :)

In other news, I finished life coaching most of the clients I took on during my last free life coaching offer. (When I say most, I mean 2 out of 3 :P ). I’ll be running one more offer of free life coaching in a few days, to give myself some extra time to set up all the legalities of coaching as a business (and get a bit more experience and testimonials :) ). So stay tuned if you’re interested! After that, I’ll turn professional sometime around March/April, so this will probably the last free coaching offer I’m doing in a while.

That’s all for now. Have fun!

Vlad…first of all, thank you again for offering the free guest post. It was a pleasure having your contribution to my blog.

Secondly, what a wonderful and eclectic mix of blog posts. Each with a style of it’s own. Your talent and insights add value that can’t be quantified.
