I never miss a chance to hear the co-author of my favorite book The Go-Giver and the author of Endless Referrals, Bob Burg, speak.  He was recently speaking at an event in Chicago hosted by the Dynamic Professional Women’s Network (Christie Ruffino has done a knock-out job with this group).  He put on a tremendous talk on about networking and getting tons of referrals.

He came at me and Brian Tomkins with a sneak attack pulling us on stage in front of about 150 people to talk about social media and what kind of impact it could have for businesses. I fought it with little resistance

Playing off the stellar Youtube phenomena Did You Know, this video highlights the shift in how the world interacts.  We are living in exponential times.  But, is social media just a fad?  Ask the newspaper companies.  Never in my life have I felt so connected with like minded people.  Although, I do spend more time these days on the computer, I find myself involved in many more live networking events because of social media.

Young entrepreneurs are sitting on a gold mine. I get the chills thinking about how much abundance is slapping us across the face right now.  With a troubled economy, plunging real estate market (which is great for us), the explosion of social media, and many other factors of course, opportunity is at an all time high.  I believe there will be more millionaires created in the next few years, when we turn the corner on this thing, than EVER before in this country.  And I will be one of them!  Who is coming with me?  ...Continue Reading

Six in a row!  Really, I got six Facebook friends requests in a matter of hours that had pictures of everything but themselves or were throwing up all over me with their product.  Now, I am not going to call you out on your mistake in public (I will leave it to @unmarketing to “bounce” your arse), but I want to make you aware that there is a better way to interact.  Together, we can make Facebook a much more pleasurable experience if we police it together.

Instead of me going on a rant on how aggravated I am with Facebook nuisances, my online friends did it for me.  Today I asked, “What is your biggest Facebook pet peeve?”, and the results were quite humorous, but less than shocking.

Here are 17 Headache Causing Nuisances On Facebook:

Facebook recently made two BIG moves that will change the game in the Facebook vs. Twitter battle for world domination.  Okay, maybe I went a little too far on that one.  But, these new moves by Facebook may very well pull some time back that I have been spending with Twitter.

I have been through quite a lot over the past few years.  Who hasn’t, right?  There are some things I have not shared with anyone and I spill my guts on this video.  Social Media has played a tremendous part in growing my business and growing me as a person.  This is my personal story and I think I may a little emotional (I don’t watch my videos).  Anyways, love it or hate it, please give me some feedback below…

The world is consumed by Social Media.  Is it just a fake phenomena, or are we building genuine relationships?  In one of my previous posts, I brought you a video of Seth Godin talking about fake social networking.  I can agree with his point that the people in your online social communities are usually not your true friends.  They are not the ones who will let you sleep on their couch if needed.

So, what do you think?  Is it possible for Social Media to transform lives?  It is possible to build world-class relationships all through a virtual world?

All I know is what it has done for me personally and I want to get people inspired to tell their social media dreams and success stories (because I know they are out there somewhere).  So, here is my thanks to Social Media…

THANK YOU SOCIAL MEDIA!

Over the past few weeks, I have been churning out a high velocity of content.  I am developing a sexy new social media training course with my friend and business partner Russell Yermal.  While creating some of the videos for the free part of our course, I uploaded one video to YouTube and forgot to change the privacy settings to private.  This video published and then auto published to my Facebook account and fortunately, was well received.  So I said, “the hell with it” and decided to post it here for you all to enjoy too.

Do you ever feel like you have so much to do and you never get anything done?  Often people approach me diagnosing their challenge being a lack of discipline.  There are days in my life where I just want to go play in the park all day with my dog enjoying the summer sun!  But by getting into a deeper conversation with them, I usually find out that they have no idea where they are going.

For example, many people try to justify hours upon hours spent on Facebook and Twitter trying to generate more business.  Everyone would love to use social media marketing and relationship building for business to bring in more sales, but what does that get you?  What does the end result look like for you?  Let me ask you a more challenging question.  What would you do with your time if no one ever knew about it and you never receive payment for it?  ...Continue Reading

Just about everyone in the social networking space uses URL shortening applications.  Now, I know there are tons of sites out there that do this, but this one is a true gem.

Su.pr is a great new application by StumbleUpon (someone who we already know, love and trust) where you can shorten, track and promote your URL’s.  Su.pr is tied to StumbleUpon and your users have to capability to rate and review your posted links.  It also has a time saving feature allowing you to schedule your posts for a later time and date for Facebook and Twitter.  It encumbers many tools that normally multiple sites are needed to accomplish the same results.

You can see the functionality of the interface here: http://su.pr/9rtTZk.
