Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.
Do you have to be from a small town? Well, no, not really. Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.
It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

My name is Jennifer Navarrete and as of September 2013 I have been on a health, fitness, beauty quest to learn more about what that means to me. In my quest I have completed my first adventure triathlon, begun to understand the importance of nutritional supplements, seen improvements through chiropractic treatment and have a more youthful and rested looking face thanks to beauty treatments. Luckily, I am working with clients and partners in this quest and sharing my experiences on my blog.
As a self-described “tomboy techie” the beauty part has been by far the most interesting piece to learn. I had no idea how quickly a few simple beauty treatments would improve the outer me.
Now comes the brag part: This week I released my awake lipo consultation between me and my client, who has been providing me with the beauty services. The real reason for the brag is that in the video I remove my robe while the doctor examines me to talk about all the places where I have fat that could be removed through the awake lipo procedure.
Having worked with the team for over 6 months, I know and trust them but was still so nervous when we recorded the consult. Having to post “all of me” in that way was nerve-wracking but, I did it. I am keeping my focus on what will soon be an “After” video. After all, you cannot have an “After” without a “Before” video. ;-)
Jennifer, I’ve long known you are beautiful. Who can forget the famous portrait with you, me, and Loic le Meur? :) Congratulations on your journey!
Sounds like a great process Jennifer! You did it.
Loïc is a great guy.
I was thrilled to be contacted by The Guardian to be interviewed on a piece about fundraising.
I was even MORE thrilled to find that I was the only person consulted!

Marc, that’s quite a feature! Congratulations!
Wow, your name is in the first paragraph and the Guardian calls you an expert! Great Marc!
A great opportunity to brag about this :)
I launched my next book this week – self published. First only released to my clients. It’s in Dutch and soon will be translated to English. The Dutch title is “Handboek Hyperspecialisatie – Meer klanten zonder te veranderen in een urenfabriek”
Translated: “Handbook Hyperspecialization – More clients without turning into a ‘hour factory’???”
What would be a good translation for “hour factory”? We use it for a lawyer, consultant or coach, working more hours for clients, makes you more money but it also gets boring.
Erno, congratulations on your newest book. I hope it will be your most successful. I can’t think of a common phrase equivalent to “hour factory,” but maybe something like “chained to your desk”?
