Paul Jarvis

Paul Jarvis shows people how to kick ass at the intersection of creativity and commerce since 1999. As a trend-buster and business strategist, Paul has collaborated with some awesome people and companies, including Danielle LaPorte and Marie Forleo, and his writing reaches over 50,000 people every month.

He’s also becoming well known for his articles and posts about creativity. His viewpoints will challenge many existing beliefs about blogging.  I have fallen in love with his work while researching this post. His philosophy very much aligns with my own and I think he brings more humanity to the blogosphere.

 


Advice

Networking

  • Not everything needs to be paid back in full This is one of my favourite posts on networking, ever. Jarvis talks about the sense of entitlement that comes across when some bloggers seek favours. People take networking advice to the extreme and as a result, influencers are less likely to respond.
