Kelvin Brown’s Personal and Marketing Blog

I was able to do something I had been trying to do for over 20 years.

surprise my mother on her birthday. Being separated by 1,300 miles, it is not always easy trying to find out what she really needs, or wants.

This time I recruited my cousin, to do the leg work. It was a surprise dinner on me.

Now, I don’t know I can top that next year.

this weekend a friend of my “Lee Green” referred someone to me who writes for a popular magazine.

At least from my point of view the interview about widgets, really it was about widgets, went well.
But, what I am really excited about is that a couple of things I said actually made sense to him. I invited him to use me as a resource. Even if it would not immediately give me credit. In this way I hope to build a relationship that proves to be a win, win for all involved.

I encourage you to build relationships, with writer, reports, etc. And this is not some big revelation that I came up with. It is just the first big contact with a major magazine that I have had.
