Hopson’s new career is based upon the premise that he knows how to take adversity and turn it into success, and he believes that it is a message many people want to hear from just a regular guy faced with his share of obstacles.
“Years of scandals in the corporate world have soured audiences on pep talks from well-paid executives, but the skepticism softens when a speaker like myself who wears a hearing aid and speaks with a ‘distinctive voice’ walks onstage and talks about overcoming adversity,” he says.
“The fact that I have never heard a sound in my life, and yet managed to build a successful career … brings tremendous credibility to the table. After people hear me speak, they cannot possibly go back to work making excuses for themselves.”
Stephen is an awesome individual, and I do not say that lightly. Check out his site and stop making excuses!
Here we are at SOBCon in the afternoon session. Chris Garrett of chrisg.com just gave a terrific presentation on how to get more bang out of your blog.
High points:
Create, Communicate, Promote, Learn

What does this mean for being productive? These four steps can be used to improve nearly any process.
Think about how you manage your e-mail or your in-box.
Create a system.
Communicate it to those who use it.
Teach them how to make it work.
Learn from any opportunities or mistakes.
