When I get this kitchen remodel done (couple weeks), I can throw myself full-on into it. <strong>Tom,</strong> Me too. Whenever I really want to learn something I approach it as though I'm going to teach it - even if I don't. That way, I learn as though I'm a student being taught myself. I find it a great approach.

Its a great way to expand knowledge and really look at all the small details of how to do something that might otherwise escape notice. And of course just helping a friend is a reward in and of itself. I've been throwing around ideas (in my head) for a post on innovation and the idea of sharing which I think your post ties nicely into. Another facet. Hi Dawud

A bit hard to sum up... but your "Three Halves of Blogging" has got to rank up there among the best of it all. Can't wait to see your book come out! ;-) Hmm, good question.

What can you do to make it easy - and less scary - on him? <strong>Karin,</strong> I've definitely been there. It's even better when clients do the same thing. I always wonder why people bother asking if they don't plan on listening to what I have to offer. <strong>Char,</strong> Couldn't agree more. Adam's a hidden jewel. I'd love to see all of us help him get 'uncovered.' <strong>Adam,</strong> It's so important to find not only what works, but what works for you, your temperament, and your abilities when it comes to your business. There really is no formula that works for everyone. Every formula needs to be eaten, digested and nourishing to our own businesses. Really great point. And I'm so happy to have helped you in every way I have/can. Is there one thing you think I've shared with you that's helped you the most? <strong>Tom,</strong> Obviously, I agree.

I think providing help to someone is one of the most energizing experiences. When someone seeks me out for help, it gives me a high, especially if the help I give makes a positive difference. And when the help you provide is knowledge you actually gain more of it by giving. Interesting post. I think providing help to someone is one of the most energizing experiences.

I studied marketing before, albeit in a much more conventional/old-school sense, but that left me in the dark around the ways that conversational marketing (i.e. the blogosphere, social marketing, all the things you're golden at) worked. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now... and in the words of a long-time friend of mine, "it's great to see that I've found a way of marketing that really works with who I am."

Not just once, happened to me a few times (with the same business friend). I still offer help, but now on the 'jokingly' condition that I only help when he really does something with it, not just nods and agrees with the ideas - even getting very excited and 'all thrusters are go' - but still... (And on this occasion I'm not the impatience person I can normally by - this is going on for 1.5 years now - but I cannot not help him it seems ;-)) Karin H.
