Business Channel Theme Day: Being “August”

Scott Allen of Linked Intelligence hosted our Business Channel Theme Day: "Being August". Scott had this brilliant idea of using the definition of the word August for our theme day.

August is defined in dictionary.com as

1. inspiring reverence or admiration; of supreme dignity or grandeur; majestic: an august performance of a religious drama.
2. venerable; eminent: an august personage.

It is not a commonly use term in a conversation.  However, the business channel bloggers came up with great posts about "being August".  Check out how they were able to relate it to the different topics they are blogging:

Jonathan Farrington at Leadership Turn:  "The pleasure that is Paris in August"

Mary Emma Allen at Home Biz Notes: "Developing an "august" home business"

Kelly Phillips Erb at Tax Girl: "Under the Influence"

Rachel Clarke at Behind the Buzz: "Can conversational marketing be August?"

Rico Mossesgeld at Contract Worker: "Why "august" (the adjective) is important for freelancers?"

Darlene McDaniel at Interview Chatter: "Are you August?"

Des Walsh at Business and Blogging: "Would you rather your company was revered or profitable?"

Tris Hussey at Pimp your Work: "Being that it’s August, let’s talk hardware and heat"

Jim Norton at Small Business Boomers: "August"

Scott Allen at Linked Intelligence: "Character: 7 ways to not just have it, but show it"

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.  Now, August will not just be another month for me.  These creative articles gave me a whole different outlook about "August".  How about you, what can you associate with "being August"?
