I first wanted to say that you writing is coming along 100% and I am enjoying the reads. The way you are processing thoughts it tremendous and feel that you are saying stuff that makes bloggers like myself need to step their game up!

With this post, I think you are right and then part of me disagrees. I work with a lot of people in the search of a “dream job” or a career that will make them happy. Their resumes are padded and objectives portray the fake-it mentality. Underqualified people have the same opportunity to land many jobs with the right sheet of paper, right contacts and right timing.

I think the same applies to the web. One post can make you a star or get the attention of a so called “A-lister.” Google made the online rock star possible. Designers can shoot a WP theme to an up coming blogger and catapult their career overnight (think of Thesis). Having a great idea and a better platform to share it (think of a guest post on 4HWW or Mashable) and your idea is now a best practice. Personally, I started consulting because companies were reading my blog posts that came into their Google Alerts. Instant rock star, right.

There are others that are killing the game. The Twitter profiles that say they are social media mavens with 20 followers or the lie coaches who are living at the poverty line. This has plagued the SEO world since its inception into mainstream marketing as some business guy is going to use 5th grade vocabulary and talk all techie, sell me something I don’t need and put me through some automatic site submission software and collect residuals.

In today’s age, everyone has the same shot at being heard. Some market better than others, but that’s life. Talk about the stuff you know and like Dave’s quote, you will be a 10 to someone. When we work with the homeless and get them into shape to look for a job, I always ask “What are you better at than anyone in the world?” When you hear their answer it gives them that fire and gives a direction from which to build upon.

Talk to you soon buddy.
