In these times failure is inevitable. But we all have to understand that we’re going through a period of change. Times aren’t going to be as easy as they used to be. Partly because we aren’t going to be used to it at first, the way business is revolutionizing. Once it was about big machines, hard hats and cranes. Now days it’s about information and ideas more than anything. Of course that started changing in the early 90’s. But whether we like it or not, we have to admit, we’re getting deeper into it. Day by day!

2009 brings in a whole new atmosphere. Mixed with fear, doubt and optimism all at the same time. It’s time to sink or swim! Atlantis: The Lost Empire move

It’ll be a time to learn from failure and adapt to new changes. All of us have to make these changes as we continue on into ‘09(and the upcoming years as well).

My advice is keep learning, sharing information and applying what you learn!

Don’t worry so much about what the future brings to you, but rather what you bring to it. Failures are blessings in disguise so make sure you learn from them every chance you get. And believe it or not new opportunities open up in the hard times also. I think we’re going to learn a lot this year! So let’s stick with it!

First of all:

I hope everyone had a great New Years. ‘09 is finally here and we can start living up to those resolutions we made. Hopefully the “I’ll never drink again” one wasn’t one you decided to make after waking up on New years day..:D Anyways it’s going to be a great year and I have a tone of plans.

NOW Back on topic!

In the world of social media, it’s easy to see a person as just another profile. All you have to do is add them or wait for a reply…YAY 1 up. AND the more friends you have the more important you look, right? And the more “thx 4 da add” comments you have the better you feel, sorta…

The truth is, if you haven’t been using social media to build relationships(or keep in touch) you might be wasting your time. Blade II release

Social media is changing. ‘09 is about going back to the basics. Yeah 2,000 friends on your band page might look impressive but they’re all going to become useless unless you start making an effort.

Building relationships is important, especially in times like these, and it’s something that cheap friendship can’t really give.

by Social Media. It’s not like there’s a REAL person at the other end of the rope. It’s not like these people really are interested in YOU…

Does their cheap form of friendship show through? What do their actions say? Even more important, what do your actions say?

We’re all like starving kids from a 3rd world country, waiting for a piece of bread. And the person who reaches out is the one we show our loyalty to.
In a sense we’re starving(in the social media world) for some type of personality. For any signs that there’s a human behind that avatar.

People aren’t hard to get along with. It’s kind of like magic(well more like common sense). Show that you’re a human, and people will appreciate it. buy Little Nicky

They’ll be like, “Wow, this person is actually making a personal effort! In my part.” Now days that makes all the difference.

So lets start being a little more careful who we call our friends.

This last part involves a little effort(ouch). It’s also extremely simple: The people who you can call a friend should be in your friends list. People who you don’t know, or just see you as a one up, shouldn’t be in your friends list. These people don’t care about you and haven’t taken the time to either.

Make a effort toward the person. Don’t make hasty judgments. Accept a person for being different. Take the initiative before deciding to remove them from your friends, or follows, etc.

I hope this of some help.

I want to say thanks to everyone who has read, commented, subscribed to this blog. I have big plans for ‘09, for this blog and my business.

I wish you all the best in 2009!

You can use Twitter to TAKE UP your time, by keeping the world updated on personal junk.

OR

You can use Twitter as a valuable marketing tool, by telling the world what you’re doing for them.

Who really cares?

Let’s face it. You’re not adding any value to anyone’s time, or yours, by turning Twitter into your personal activity tracking system. Who cares if you’re baking brownies, or going to get gas, or that you have gas?

I think they’re called personal statuses, right? Warlock rip

Sheep Dog divx

Facebook is the king of personal statuses. Why should we go further and make it a full time activity?

—

So why use Twitter?
Twitter is a great mini-blogging/mini-updates tool for personal and or business branding. It’s a feed that’s being checked constantly(because it’s being updating constantly).

This immediate interaction provides great opportunities for marketing to your audience.

Thus, it doesn’t waste time(if you use it right)

—

So let’s stop using Twitter like a bunch of morons.
Use it to benefit you, or don’t use it @ all.
