Before Facebook, There Where Newspapers
Before Facebook, There Where Newspapers

Can we all just agree on one thing? For the vast majority of people, there’s too much to do and too little time. This is why prioritization was invented.

Funny thing about prioritization, when you think back to how much time you’ve spent learning about it and honing your skills at prioritizing, you, well, come up pretty short.

So, when you get a little more time, what “priority” do you intend to work on?

Someday, maybe on vacation, I’ll find time to explore a decent and effective Facebook Fan Page. Social Media Examiner will be the first stop for tips, like this one yesterday.

Get Used To Getting Turned Down?

The Seats Are Empty Now, But...
The Seats Are Empty Now, But...

Ever heard this one? You can not be a prophet in your hometown.

Or this one? Most breakthroughs come from ordinary people whom everyone else thought was crazy or off-center.

And the kicker? They never gave up, and that’s why they’re successful.

Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup For The Soul co-authors, got turned down by 144 publishers.

Ready to give up? Already given up?

Fighting a hard battle for what you believe in?

Get used to getting turned down.

Pushing The Envelope

You study leadership, don’t you? You read. A lot. You watch others, with the intent to learn two things:

  1. What works
  2. What doesn’t

The world is overloaded with wanna-be’s and imitators.

In today’s world, if you want to stand out, you need to do one of two things:

  1. Do what everyone else is doing, differently
  2. Do something no one else is doing

Social media and the role it plays in our daily professional life

Social media.

This post is for anyone who struggles to write publically.

The advice for every blogger is that comments are usually sparse. Most people don’t comment. Because…

  1. They’re too busy
  2. It’s cumbersome to leave a comment
  3. They don’t believe anyone will read it
  4. They don’t know how to say what they feel
  5. They are afraid of looking bad
  6. They really have no interest in commenting

It was interesting to stumble upon a world-class business website that didn’t have a single comment for four months.

Would You Tell People?

I'd Tell Them, "If Your Goal Isn't Impossible..."
I'd Tell Them, "If Your Goal Isn't Impossible..."

If you found a cure for cancer, would you tell people?

If you believe in your message, your platform so to speak, and knew that if it were available to others, and it would help them, would you tell people?

Jack Canfield suggested you become very comfortable with self-promotion. So much so, that you become an expert at it, a marketing expert.

This is counter-intuitive. But you must own it. And get very, very good at it.

None of this matters if you don’t believe your message will help others.
