- #3 905 3 goals today -demystify what is social media & open you to being friends with social media -how can you use social media purposefully - go thro strategic steps & no way we can do a thro job of coming up with oen but just to get a flavor we will go thro teh steps and come up with a plan & you can then change expand in your work - develop a new mindset needed to enjoy using social media
- #4 907 have u noticed when you are sometimes having a crazy day and you go to your computer adn it starts to act crazy too? nothing works and you get more flustered and the more flustered u get the more things dont work. thats true of life in general & lot of science to prove it - my website has videos of bruce lipton who show how our inner thoughts shape our outer reality with teh internet you can instantly see this correlation A shoe salesman is assigned a new territory, some islands in the south Pacific. He gets to one such island and finds that everyone is barefoot. He calls his boss and says, “We can never be successful here. No one wears shoes.” Needless to say, he is quickly replaced by another, more optimistic salesman. He shows up at the same island, calls his boss and says, “Send me 1,000 pair today! We’re going to do great. No one here wears shoes!”
- #5 912 its important to see your beliefs and limiting assumptions about social media & then question them is it so? we limit ourselves before giving a full oppportunity to explore adn then make an informed decision Is that so? and once you see its not true, you explore further, What can this do for me? How can I utilize this? And how can you use it instead of why you cannot -time consuming -overwhelming - privacy - talking about your work & not intimate details - complex musician spends hundreds of hours on newsletters but doesnt have time for social media - you can build your relationships all year round
