Do You Need To Unplug to Recharge?
March 12th, 2010
by Lorrie Thomas
I am about to take a vacation where I will be “unplugging to recharge”. I toyed with the right way to say why I am taking time off and have some words of web wisdom for you, but after stopping on this sentence for several minutes, I decided to throw diplomacy out the window, be authentic and just say it:
I’m taking time off because I am really freaking exhausted 
I launched my first company, Lorrie Thomas Web Marketing (LTWM) www.lorriethomas.com in late 2005 and I have been hitting the work thing HARD ever since. After several years of running LTWM and having more clients and building out a great team, we launched Web Marketing Therapy to offer more strategic web marketing advisory. I LOVE being the Marketing Therapist and LOVE the work we do, but the road to a new business involved starting over in many respects. The work to launch a new brand, create a business model, refine systems, take care of clients, run sales, oversee marketing, own management and keep all plates spinning is rewarding ….but has been a lot on the brain and my body.
Throw in teaching at UCSB Extension, Berkeley Extension, SBCC, speaking and work travel. As much as busy people get things done, I lost track of something really important that needed to be done…..
LIVING LIFE.
If this looks like someone you know, stage a web intervention!
It is my goal to support business leaders, entrepreneurs and marketing professionals, but somehow as I kept my focus on my work, the professional Lorrie enveloped the personal Lorrie. This is the FIRST trip I have ever taken where I am going to have no plans - just read, sit on a beach, unplug from technology and recharge.
And I’m a little scared!
I am sharing this because I think a lot of you can relate. Sometimes we love what we do so much that it envelops our lives and what is really important is love of life, not just love of work. I’m going to take some time to focus on what really matters - health is wealth and I encourage you all to carve out time in life to just BE.
Being a human DOing is not as good as being a human BEING
Do what you love, love what you do, but don’t forget to love you in the process.
This month, Web Marketing Therapy has been live for ONE YEAR (time flies when you are having fun!) I look forward to coming back with a fresh perspective and more therapy tips and tools to help you embrace the wild wild web!

by wildmarketingchiquita
I have to confess that when Skinny Bitch got published, I went out and snatched my own copy to see what it was all about. And you know what? It was a delightful read!
That’s why when our beloved webtherapist, Lorrie Thomas e-introduced me to Julie C. May, co-founder of the popular website and newsletter–www.HealthyBitchDaily.com, I couldn’t wait …
Get into the Relationship Business
March 10th, 2010
by Lorrie Thomas
I have been working my wild web woman buns off lately. Between teaching, training, running Web Marketing Therapy, speaking, managing clients and doing advisory, I hear myself repeatedly explaining (to organizations large and small) that web marketing work (websites, optimizations, online advertising, search optimization, blogging, Facebook, Twitter and more) is not going to magically make …
Business Success: Use VALUE(S) as Your Springboard and Your North Star!
March 2nd, 2010
by Pamela Sherman
Albert Einstein said,
“Strive not to be a man of success, but rather to be a man of value.”
I think Einstein had it right! It’s a tricky thing to be focused on “SUCCESS.” And ironically, for so many, it detracts from doing what’s really needed to achieve it!
The problem I think is that “success” and …

I worked with Lorrie and her “wild web women” team after the birth of my first child to help coach me back on track with my business goals, as well as make a bigger presence on the web. Little did I know that my goals would be FAR exceeded beyond what I had in mind. Lorrie’s extremely accomplished, professional and talented team not only helps you achieve what you think you set out to do, but takes you far beyond where you ever thought you could go. Their presence and attention to detail has helped me re-focus, recalibrate, polish and present my website, blog and all matters related to my business in ways that has been enormously helpful and profitable. Thanks Web Women!

Lorrie Thomas is not only a savvy web marketer, she’s an incredible teacher. She provided an insightful overview of how social media is changing the marketing landscape, clearly explained a variety of social media tools, and engaged the SMARTY group to get everyone thinking critically about how best to employ these tools for their own businesses. Lorrie also encouraged everyone to think of the time and money they spend on marketing as an investment; advice I couldn’t agree with more.
