E-Book Testimonials

"Thomas Clifford has made something useful here. This report will give you some really catchy, useful ideas.

It made me reconsider how I do what I do, so you might give it a look-see, too!" 

Chris Brogan, President, Human Business Works 

"Tom Clifford is by trade a filmmaker. For most of his life, he rarely wrote anything longer than a brief comment in the margin of a script. 

Now, though, he's producing tens of thousands of words a year, first as a Fast Company "Expert Blogger," and then as a writer for the Content Marketing Institute. 

How did Tom go from a non-writer to a prolific and much-read one? His eBook, '5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways . . . , ' holds some of his secrets."

Mark Levy, Author of "Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content"

“Tom is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet—if you have the privilege to meet him. And he does sterling work as well. But don’t just take my word for it.

Read this free report and you’ll not just love its tone and content, but learn a lot as well.”

Sean D’Souza, Psychotactics.com

“Anyone who wants to improve their writing needs this e-book. A lot of ebooks are short because they just don’t have much substance to offer. They’re not worth your time (and so are many of the long ones, too, for that matter). Tom’s is short because he’s so good at giving you only what you need to know. 

‘5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways to Write Faster, Better, Easier’ lives up to its promise by example as well as in the words themselves. Tom used the very same techniques he teaches you to write this book. 

And what’s in here is not just a rehash of the same tired ideas you find coming from people who have suddenly fancied themselves as writing gurus. There are tricks in here I never heard of (like the Writing Funnel) and some I had forgotten about and was glad to be reminded of (like Sporadic Writing).” 

Michael Martine, Blog Alchemist, Remarkablogger.com

The "Starbucker" Meme

DateSaturday, June 2, 2007 at 09:48AM

shotglass2.jpg

I've been tagged. By a shot glass, no less.

Terry Starbucker, over at Ramblings from a Glass Half Full, is kicking off an interesting "meme-metaphor." Terry poses these four questions:

1. How full is your glass?
2. What kind of glass is it?
3. What's in the glass?
4. Reasons for #1, #2, and #3

He'll collate the answers from everyone who participates and post a "meme-mosaic." Here's my "shot" at his questions:

1. How full is my glass? It's full!

2. What kind of glass? Easy...a tea glass.

3. What's in it? Chai tea, of course.

4. My reasons?

We can choose to drink tea mindfully or not. It's the same thing with our life. We can choose to create, or "drink," our life...consciously or unconsciously.

If we choose to create our lives consciously, then our experiences become wonderfully "tasteful" like chai tea; rich and spicy; full of zip and zest!

And the tea glass? That's like our mind. Our mind is the "container" which holds our "chai" tea experiences together.

I now pass the "glass" invitation to:
Jason Alba
Alex Shalman
Michael Wagner
Robert Hruzek
Adam Kayce

Spicy indeed! Thanks Tom for responding to the tag with such a richly textured analogy. I always knew you were a half-fuller too! Can't wait to share a chai with you in CT soon - all the best.

Hi Terry!

Glad you like the post...it was fun thinking about it.

Hey-I'll start the chai tea...I'm just missing some company :-)

All the best.
