Share The Knowledge. Make A Difference.
When I saw that message pop up on my lensmaster dashboard the first time, I was amazed. What a huge message from such a simple tagline!
I believe it's important to give away knowledge. It was first given to me by God and many others who taught me what I need to succeed. If sharing my knowledge helps someone in some small way, then I know I've made a difference. Knowledge of any kind is just too important to keep to yourself. It should be "paid forward" and shared with others who may need it. Someone out there needs what you know how to do. You were there once.
Saint Francis of Assisi said "...for it is in giving that we receive." The feeling that I get is like no other. Rewarding, humbling, grateful...
Why...it's better than chocolate! Wait, did I say that?
"You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want," Zig Ziglar
The "Giant Squid Buddy-Up Project" is a month-long challenge and opportunity for the Giant Squids to teach, mentor and support a small team of people they think would make a fantastic lensmasters. This was our challenge. Not really ~ to me it's a Blessing. Thank you Bonnie & thank you Squidoo for an exciting challenge to pass on what we've been given!
Squidoo is a generous community of people willing to share their creativity, skills and knowledge with each other! That's why I love Squidoo! And that's why I took the challenge to mentor a team of people who wanted to learn "how to do the Squidoo."
Let me introduce The Budding Squid Buddies!

Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
Are You A Purple Cow?
Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
Amazon Price: $7.83 (as of 02/15/2012)![]()
List Price: $20.95
You're either a Purple Cow or you're not. You're either remarkable or invisible. Make your choice.
What do Starbucks and JetBlue and KrispyKreme and Apple and DutchBoy and Kensington and Zespri and Hard Candy have that you don't? How do they continue to confound critics and achieve spectacular growth, leaving behind former tried-and true brands to gasp their last?
Face it, the checklist of tired 'P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed -Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few-aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important 'P' that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow.
Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or ten, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something. Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff-a lot of brown cows-but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.
In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers who want to help create products that are worth marketing in the first place.
