I have many things I am doing in 2010 to make my life more manageable.  One of my first goals is to CLEAR THE CLUTTER.  My email inbox has become a trashcan and I need to take back control.

Many times I will read an article or a post and think “this is great info, sure, I’ll subscribe to your emails”.  Although well intentioned, the problem is that I am hitching my wagon to the person, not the content.  Just because Joe Schmo hits s home run and writes something I am keenly interested in doesn’t mean Joe will have the same success again and again.

In addition, many times I sign up for content and wind up with marketing messages being forced down my throat.

Marketing Crap

Solution:  UNSUBSCRIBE.

In the world of inbound marketing, there is no reason to have others dictate what I receive and when I receive it.  If you are on my unsubscribe hit list, please don’t be offended… I just need to get my life under control and be more diligent searching for content that meets my needs.
