The Perfect Excuse
Written by Brian Monahan on May 31, 2008 – 4:13 am -Perfection is the arch enemy of the Expert in the Rough. What is holding you back from starting today at growing your business.
Are you waiting until you have enough education?
Do you need a logo or a website?
Do you need to clean up the kitchen?
Do you need to organize your emails?
Do you just feel not ready to share your knowledge with the world?
Do you need to take another writing classs?
Do you need to take a public speaking class or attend toastmasters?
Do you need to blah, blah, blah?
I bet you do.
Waiting for Perfection is the illusion or the excuse.
Just get started, its the doing which teaches you everything you need to know.

Google Yourself
Written by Brian Monahan on May 29, 2008 – 12:01 pm -Before you even get started on this journey to becoming an expert you need to know where you are.
Google yourself.
Can you be found?
What comes up?
What do you want to come up?
Who is your competition?
This is your first report card to being known as an expert. If you did not make the first page of results.
You pretty much got an F.
Lets talk about how you can improve your grades next week.

Welcome to Expert in the Rough
Written by Brian Monahan on May 26, 2008 – 4:29 pm -I have spent a few weeks getting aquainted with WordPress and have finally launched the Expert in the Rough blog. I have all kinds of challenges. I picked a theme that was incompatible with Internet Explorer 7. I lost my initial posts with a software upgrade, but I am here to say, I will not be deterred.
You will find this to be a work in progress but we will be moving quickly. I have been studying the experts for over 20 years and I have a lot to share.
Please subscribe to my RSS feed, and share with friends. Most of my early visitors I expect to be friends and family. Your input will be appreciated.
For those of you wondering what Wordpress and RSS means, I will be covering those topics as part of the Expert in the Rough tools of the trade.
With that Expert in the Rough is officially live. Be sure to read my About page for a more detailed descripion of Expert in the Rough.
Thanks,
Brian
