Speakers And Panalists

Do you use social media?

Do you understand Socialnomics?

Someday, these things will be as common as cell phones.

There are a few big ones worth getting into, just to “stay with the pack”:

  1. LinkedIn
  2. Twitter
  3. Facebook
  4. Blogs
  5. You Tube

These are the big five.  There are dozens more. For now, simplicity is the goal.

Do you read or scan through these every single day?  Tomorrow, a quote from a LinkedIn group member – Speakers and Panelists – that is particularly articulate in defining advice for aspiring people.

Meanwhile, “What will you do today that scares you and moves you one step closer to your important goals?”

Better and Happier

It's Your Choice
It's Your Choice

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”unknown

That’s all there is to say today.

Not really. But I’m gonna zip it and hopefully the quote will plant a seed of greatness in your soul and your work this coming year – it’s only two days away.

Are We Listening?

Huh?  Exactly.

Hey, here’s a one-take-You Tube video from me again (howdy), jeff noel, the five-a-day blogger.

Are you starting to see how this might work for you? I mean, I’m just a common guy, working really hard at this social media phenomenon.

A few months back, I saw a You Tube video featuring Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, answering questions as part of some panel.

What Bob Iger said, paraphrased  from memory, was this, “Disney isn’t embracing social media.  Disney is embracing the customer. The customer is embracing social media.”

Would your customers describe you or your business as hard working?  You know, staying current and relevant with their needs and desires?

We would hope our answer is a resounding yes. Why?  Because, our competition may be invisible at this point in history.

You see, there are others out there who can see something that our customers need and want, but our customers haven’t identified it yet. And neither have we.

Those other people who can see it?  They’re changing the world.

Wasn’t Looking for This

Writing five blogs every day has wonderful, and may I audaciously say, transformational benefits.  Far beyond what was ever thought possible.  And yet….

What comes along with the good – and everyone knows this as a “truth” – is the bad.  The bad in this case is writers block.  My first little bout came and went a few days ago.  It lasted a couple days.  Triggered mostly by time pressures, not lack of desire.

Anyway, following a daily routine of scanning Facebook, Twitter, LnkedIn, blogs, etc, I stumbled upon a LinkedIn status update.

Susan Harrow’s article, Changing Your Body Changes Your Self, is definitely worth a quick read.  Why?  Because she speaks about what is common knowledge, but not common practice.

One of the best ways to change our bodies is to use common sense. One of the best ways to use common sense is to focus on it every day. Ya with me?  Every single day.  Period.  Carpe diem.
