“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dream’t of in your philosophy.” — William Shakespeare Reality is big. Really big. It’s so big that we can barely perceive all of it. There is so much more information in the world around you that if you would be able to capture it all, you’d probably go crazy. In fact, what you, me, and everyone see, is not really reality, but “a subjective approximation of reality” aka “Perception”.

Achieve Greatness with your content We all know that content is king. It’s the key to increase traffic, increase engagement, and experience the rush of success. So, since we all know we  need  to create quality content, the question is…   HOW? What does it take? Collaboration  is the key. One person can do it all, but having a singular person creating all the elements required for a great post can come at a price. Lack of vision. Collaboration offers the ability to have your content tested and gives you feedback to your content, allowing you to revise, refine, and re-create your content from a variety of perspectives, giving you the ability to go from good to great content. More than one person should be involved in every single post. Here is a loose breakdown of the roles that should be included. The Author:  This person is tasked with writing the post. The post can be anything you like, from a news story, to tips, to answering common questions,...
