Reading the latest issue of Working Solo newsletter I found Terri Lonier's points about people being either a "searcher" (the soloist who pursues goals with laser-like focus) and the "discover" (those who are willing to scan for opportunities and open to uncertainty) to be interesting.

I think I probably do a bit of both, but the danger in being the searcher (for me) is to get obsessive.  I like the idea of "letting go to the flow" of the discover, but that also has potential pitfalls, like wasting time instead of exploring with a  purpose.

But I did discover in reading the newsletter and then clicking a link to one of her partners (The Marketing Mentor) a site by someone who calls herself the "communicatrix".  Colleen Wainwright uses all types of various web apps and social networking to market her message, but her main point is that she resonates with the use of "story" to connect and get her message across.  And that resonates with me - as what I most enjoy doing is capturing life stories of others.
