Your personal brand. What is it saying about you?

The other day I was sitting at dinner with my family and the phone rang.
I normally don’t answer calls when the Caller ID is hidden, but this time I did.

On the other line was a guy who says,
“I’m not selling anything, I just want to ask you a few questions for a survey
on your telecommunications preferences.”

I said, “Only if it takes less than five minutes.”

He said it would.

Of course he lied, it took twenty.

At about minute five and 3 seconds and start to get annoyed
and was toying with the idea of just hanging up.

But suddenly I realized, “Hmmm, these communications companies
spend millions of dollars on market research.  There must be something
to these questions.”

And there was.  The gold was the last few questions. Of course. Read the rest of this entry

There has been a recent surge of new twitter-ers, and with it lot’s of

people who don’t quite understand twitter just yet.

So here is a quick and simple list of some basic twitter do’s and dont’s.

DONT’s

1. Post only self-serving marketing and selling messages ALL the time.

2. Post Vague or general messages. One word – BORING. Would you really care

if someone is eating, or sleeping, or checking email? I didn’t think so.

DO’s

1. Be descriptive.

2. Tweet interesting, valuable, funny or thoughtful things.

3. Use @user to communicate and network with other twitterers.

4. Don’t follow people mindlessly. Follow people in your industry or areas of interest

that you would genuinely want to follow and have conversations with.

And most importantly – Be yourself! Show people your personality and what’s important

to you, and you will have more fun, make sales, and connect with great people.

What are YOUR favorite tips on using twitter?

Ka-pow!

We to ok the kids to see the new Kung-Fu Panda movie this past weekend.

We love d it…lots of fun.

(Tip: Stay for the bonus scene after the credits)

Anyway, the message of the movie I think applies beautifully
to ourselves and our business.

I won’t ruin the movie in case you go see it – but I’ll say this much:

You ALREADY have everything you need to be successful.

Success is not outside of yourself -

it’s not the course or the seminar or the next great book that will give it to you.

Now, I don’t mean to say that education and learning skills and working on yourself is not important.

But those things won’t matter if belief in yourselfand what you can do NOW is not there.

So always work on that first.

I know from first hand experience that I didn’t make money until I changed what I believed.
