Have You Fallen Out of Love With Blogging?

I know the drill. Here’s how it happened to me.

Declare Email Bankruptcy and Get a Fresh Start
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by email that you wanted to just delete your email account and start over? If so, you are not alone.
Last week, I tweeted a link to one of my most popular blog posts ever, “Yes, You Can Stay on Top of Email.” Almost immediately, I received two email messages.

What My Dog Trainer Reminded Me About Leadership
Recently, my wife bought me a Labradoodle puppy. I had wanted one ever since my daughter got hers. My grandson named him “Charlie Brown,” since his fur was a beautiful chocolate brown color.
Though he was born in January, we didn’t get to meet Charlie until last week. He spent the first eleven weeks at the breeder with his mother and siblings. Then he went straight to a trainer for “Companion Training.” (Yes, we believe in outsourcing!)

#093: 10 Reasons Every Leader Needs a Blog [Podcast]
Recently, while speaking on the topic of “Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World,” I said, “If you don’t have a website, you don’t exist.” But if you are a leader, I feel even more strongly.
If you don’t have a blog—or if you do, but you aren’t blogging on a consistent basis—then you are missing out on one of the greatest leadership tools ever invented.

The Get Noticed! Theme for WordPress Is Just About to Launch
I’ve had thousands of people ask me what theme I use here on my blog. If you were one of them, I have great news.
I’m about to make the WordPress theme I use here at MichaelHyatt.com available to everyone. It’s called the Get Noticed! Theme. It’s been a long time coming, but it has been worth the wait.
Andrew Buckman, my web developer, and I built this theme specifically for people like you who have a burning desire to get your message out but don’t have the time to tinker with complicated technology.
This theme is simple to install and a joy to use. It is the fastest way I know to get up and running fast, so you can do what you do best—tell your story, engage with your readers, and build a large and loyal following.
We are putting the final touches on the theme and its documentation this week, so you can’t get it quite yet. But you can sign up here to be notified when it’s available.
Here are three reasons you want to sign up NOW:
I will notify you the moment the theme is available. Hint: it will be sometime next week.
You will get exclusive access to my sneak peek, walk-through videos. In these four short videos, I share the main features of the theme. I also provide the why behind the what and explain how these features will enable you to create more consistent, engaging, and sharable content. The first feature alone could mean a major breakthrough in your blog’s traffic.
You will receive a VIP invitation to a private webinar I am leading on Monday, May 19th. I am especially excited about this session! It’s called, “My Secret Formula for Building a Massive Email List.” I will reveal the step-by-step process I used to take my email list from 2,771 subscribers to more than 100,000. I will share my tools and walk you through the exact system I used.
I can’t wait to share the details of the theme with you. Sign up now, so you don’t miss out. (If you have already signed up, you will be notified as we make these items available. If you are not sure, sign up again.)

Free Facebook Marketing Video from Amy Porterfield
A few weeks ago, I hosted a webinar with my friend, Amy Porterfield about “How to Create an Easy-to-Use Facebook Marketing Plan That Really Works.” We maxed out our webinar capacity and received amazing feedback from those who attended.

Gary said, “Awesome Facebook marketing webinar. Amy really knows her stuff and is a great teacher. Lots to swallow….wow! Thank you Michael.”
Daniel said, “Great information + action steps for Facebook marketing from @AmyPorterfield & @MichaelHyatt.”

How I Organize Evernote: A Peek Inside My Personal System
I often refer to Evernote as my digital brain. It has replaced my physical filing cabinet, allowing me to go completely digital. It is where I store anything I need to reference later.
But Evernote can quickly become unwieldly if you don’t have a system for using it. It doesn’t have to be complex, but it does have to be intentional. My own strategy has evolved over time.

#092: The Single Biggest Reason Leaders Struggle with Delegation [Podcast]
Most leaders I know struggle with delegation. They know they should do it, but they just have trouble handing off their work. Why is that?
If you ask them, it’s usually some variation of this:
I don’t delegate because it takes longer to delegate the task than just do it myself.
Sound familiar?
The truth is, delegation always takes longer—the first couple of times you hand off a task. But it will save you hours, days, and weeks if you hand it off the right way. This requires creating a clearly documented, optimized workflow, and then training someone how to use it.
