IDEA: Create a
personal one-page
website with simple
links to anything -
from the obvious
(your LinkedIn
Profile, your
Facebook Profile)
to the not-so-
obvious - the
companies you’ve
worked for, your
hobbies, a picture
of you on Flickr
running a marathon...
Get creative & be
authentic. http://www.Flavors.me. Free accounts available
but not very functional) or upgrade for $20/year.

Michelle Villalobos Check out the email i just got!! Ay
yay yay... "Michelle:I think you are extremely feminist.
That's not right. You have to be " Equal ". Men and
Women are the same. But with women like you, we will
only see broken families and divorced couples
because of your absurd feminism, there is no men who
are going to stand women like you.I am one of
them.Sincerely;Luis Lopez."

REMEMBER:
No one cares if you're:
sitting in traffic, just
woke up, going to bed,
tired, hungry, happy or
sad... unless you’re
hilarious (or famous)

74

don’t self-promote

listen, engage, observe,
educate, inform, entertain,
ask, relate, inspire,
converse...


75

follow people in your
industry, people you admire,
people you like – not just
anyone so that they’ll
follow you back
