The Impact Factor: A Manifesto For World Changers

I’m working on a manifesto for world changers. When it’s done, it will be up on the blog for download.

In the mean time, here’s a teaser to chew on:

The Impact Factor is not just a mediocre, warm and fuzzy, run of the mill piece of literature.

It’s a manifesto for world changers.

It addresses the lies about influence our culture sucks us into and reveals what true influence and world change really look like.

Too often we look at our society and know something’s wrong, but don’t know how to fix it. The Impact Factor will help you figure out where to start.

It will make you want to get up and do something, to change the world from right where you are…

but you’ve got to stop being afraid first. The Impact Factor will help you do that.

It’s time to take out the trash, and start changing the world for real.

It starts with YOU.

Are you with me?

My Blog’s Global Reach & Top Posts in 2011

Just read my 2011 blogging report from wordpress.com. In 2011, this blog had visitors from all 6 inhabitable continents. Many visitors came from the United States, Singapore and the United Kingdom, but overall, it had visitors from 21 different countries (in no particular order):

The United States, Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Panama, Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, Egypt & Kenya.

Visitors to The Bow Echo (robbinbrandon.wordpress.com) in 2011. (Size of avatars correspond to percentage of blog visitors from each continent.)

Most visitors found the blog via 1) Twitter, 2) Facebook and 3) WordPress.com. Those who found the blog via search engines came searching about Shane & Shane‘s new C.D. release which I blogged about here.

4 of my top blog posts were (in no particular order):

• The Cure for Creative Block May be Right Under Your Nose (Literally)
• Why the World Misunderstands Creatives

• Last Night’s Facebook Meltdown: How Not To Fall Victim [again] –on Facebook Security

My personal favorite post of 2011 was Why Your Ideas Aren’t Working.

It’s really neat to see the reach of the blog, how people found it and the content that everyone likes best. Thanks for your support in 2011!
