Wassup Joe I’m back in town! I took a little vacation too, I have a new plan for my new blog, and it’s nice to visit Joeville again. The town and the community has grown. I’m looking forward to new posts!

Phew! I thought you were gonna explain why Joeville was closing it’s gates, man!
Breaks are spectacular, especially if they…
1. Allow you to do something else productive
2. Come back with a fresh/better perspective
…sounds like that happened for you.
And, thanks for the shout out dude. Bro, you know my problem, I’m trying to get this money and I also want to be 110% positive that I’m prepared to deliver on a regular basis once that big head door is open.
Kinda like you, I’m trying to really tighten up my approach. I was all over the map for a while, man. No more! lol
Should be a great summer/fall!
Cheers man, glad you’re not leavin’, and hope you’re coming back 5 days a week. Joeville videos go great with morning coffee!

hahaha, I knew that would get the head to come out! Lol..no sir, not going anywhere, just getting more focused…more deliberate, to give the folks more JOE!
Joeville is here baby! Not going anywhere.
I have been making major moves elsewhere, but it’s a lot that I can share with the citizens in Joeville, so it’s all good.
I’m ready for the suite experience man!

Is it considered a break when you don’t have any real intention of coming back? Maybe I will one day, but we will have to wait and see. The money making opportunities are just so much better outside of blogging.

Hahaha, whatup Adam! That’s just it…you gotta know what you’re in it for. I never started this blog to make money, and I have my own reasons for doing it.
Sure, it plays a role in my business, but it’s only part of the picture, unlike some, who make their blog the whole picture…
That’s why I’m back, refreshed, and focused on what exact part this blog plays in the big picture of things for me.
Good to see ya tho!

Alright now don’t faint, but I just posted on my blog. I had to. I didn’t want a repeat of being called out in yours and Garry Conn’s videos again!
At least you know I really have been working and not just laying by the pool (although I’ve been doing that too.)
SuiteJ big head makes some good points; breaks are great for productivity and fresh perspective- well that’s just good sense and saves you from having to hire editors.

Liked your video
I am new to the whole blogging world. I blog about the Dallas Real Estate market. Do you think that I could have more subscribers if I do video blog?

That’s cool that you are not abandoning the Joeville blog. I got a question for you. since you are a big video marketer. Do you just post your videos on imwithjoe.com or do you post elsewhere, on sites like Adwido?

And also do you market on YouTube?

Glad to see ya around and glad you’re happy I’m not leaving! I could never leave the citizens of Joeville!
I use a bunch of various places to post my videos, not just on this blog… yI’ve never messed with adwido…
If you checkout the products page I have the “video hitchhiker” course I put together that lays out my main video distribution methods.
It’s pretty simple as well, do you do video?

Looking forward to talking with you soon!

Once in a while, no matter how busy I am, I just get up from my laptop and walk down the highway for a while. Then I pick some berries. I think things over peacefully. These are the times when I have some of my most important realizations about what I do and don’t need to focus on, or to do next with my blogs and websites.
I am a big believer in walks. And sometimes I need more than a walk – sometimes its a week at the gym, several days hiking in the forest, or just playing on the floor with my cats! It makes a biiiiig difference.
Not that I recommend playing with cats full-time. Though my cats would probably recommend that.

I’m always checking in, Joe, even if I don’t always comment. You need to stop by sometimes; you missed out on hearing about my first webinar on social media & SEO.
I’ve never taken a real break from blogging, though I write at a more strenuous pace than I used to. I don’t know that I could at this juncture; seems whenever I slow down, visits drop off considerably. It’s an interesting connection.
We gotta get you a real sponsor; let’s get Fluff in there! lol

My rss feed was integrated with my email newsletter, however, just this past week I’ve decided not to do it that way anymore…
so I will be putting up an rss icon tonight or early this week. lol
You’re not crazy at all!
