Wow, thanks for the response all! Af ew counter-comments:

– That’s not my cake, it is a picture from Flickr (with CC license of course)

– Todd V, I totally agree on #7. It will always be a huge factor- and I will fix your link.

– For those wondering about the photo Jeremy mentioned: http://flickr.com/photos/doughaslam/2729661386/in/set-72157606522167292/

Anyone have their own lessons for the list? Or take issue with mine? Have at it!

Doug, Congrats on year #10, and thanks for the mention. Very thoughtful post…

I can’t understate the importance of #7 – and it’s impact on so many of the other items on your list. If you network well–and aren’t a total creep–it’ll help with almost every other insight you share here!

Oh, could you fix the link to SocialSphere? It’s http://socialsphere.net/ — you missed the t at the end. Thanks! Or even better help me plug my new blog by linking to http://morethanmarketing.net/ ? :-)

Was that your cake, BTW?

Thanks. And, to creep you out – the only pic I have in my office is you and the Red Sox mascot.

hi Doug, Love this post. It sounds like you really care about the story that you, as a PR rep, are sending out for the client, which is more than I can say for a lot of PR people I have dealt with in the past.

Congratulations on 10 years in PR, Doug.

I’ve found teaching others about things to be an amazing experience and growth opportunity. I still get shy about going out and meeting new people but I’ve been lucky over the last year to meet some awesome people just as a result of going to local events.
