guilty (which is totally natural)? Please share some thoughts on
how someone can reframe their thought process if they're
overwhelmed with guilt. 2. One strategy we'd like to cover is
declining in a positive manner. Why is this helpful? Please

elaborate explanations (or even worse, white lies) make things
more complicated? 4. Please briefly share and explain ONE tip
for politely saying no to social gatherings from a
psychological/mental health perspective. (A few examples:
suggesting other ways to reconnect, not waiting until the last
minute to decline, etc.)

there ways to make chickpeas more tolerable? 5. Please provide
2 recommendations for store-bought chickpea products and share
why you like it.

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. I am looking to
interview entrepreneurs who are building cutting-edge
cybersecurity solutions for various segments of the market. I am
only interested in those who already have customers and at least
some revenue. The market, of course, is crowded, so we'd need to
understand what is unique, how you differentiate, etc. Pitching
Instructions: Please outline the specific story angle, value
proposition, target market, differentiation vis-a-vis
competitors, as well as revenue level and customer validation
situation. This blog is part of the One Million by One Million
global initiative, whose aim is to help a million entrepreneurs
reach $1 million in annual revenue (http://1mby1m.com). The
1M/1M blog is read by tons of VCs in the technology industry,
and the publicity we can create for you may very likely help you
attract investor attention if that's something you desire. Our
media work is aligned with our core mission of helping
entrepreneurs build successful companies. Also, 1M/1M has
syndication relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy,
SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India), Women 2.0, Mashable,
Huffington Post, Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, and several

Deadline: 8:00 AM EST - 30 November

Query:

For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). I was also named as one of the top
10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.

Deadline: 11:00 PM EST - 1 December

Query:

I'm looking for relationship experts, therapists, and/or
counselors who can provide 7-9 specific tips regarding how to
pick up an argument/disagreement that was left unresolved. Maybe
one of the people stormed out angry and when they returned,
there was an elephant in the room. Maybe both partners got
exhausted while arguing and simply gave up. Whatever the case,
this story will deal with how to effectively resolve such an
argument, picking up where you left off (hopefully) in a more
productive way. Ideally, tips will be as specific as possible.
(Example: Avoid discussing the issue at the same time as the
previous argument because your mind will associate it with
anger. Example: The best way to revisit the argument is to say,
"X,Y,Z. And so on.) Each tip will need a few sentences' worth of
explanation to support it and, if you're interested, a general
overview of how picking up an unresolved argument is possible,
and can strengthen your relationship. We'll be happy to link to
anything chosen sources would like to promote, and cite them as
experts to our millions of readers. Hope to hear from you -
Thank you!

I would like to speak to an expert about why Joe Biden maty be

is now making steps towards innovative foreign policy which
means Joe Biden may be forced to accept Brexit rather than
abandon London in favour of other EU allies such as Berlin,
Paris and Brussels.
