Grow Your Business with Facebook & Twitter?

Roy Williams has good news for those who are frustrated with trying to grow your business with Facebook and Twitter.

This whole “Facebook and Twitter” thing reminds me of a conversation I had with a client 14 years ago in Milwaukee.  Working together we had grown his business 10-fold in just 5 years. That’s right, one thousand percent growth. He was swimming in cash because he was tenacious, hard-working, had excellent judgment and his employees loved him. All I had done was...

Saying it well

I really love the old fashion way people used the English language and talked about 150 or so years ago.  Here is some advice from Emerson that is still very relevant today in this Youtube and Facebook  World. It’s great wisdom for anyone trying to accomplish any objective and he says it so well:

"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble."

 

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American

lecturer, essayist and poet.

Laugh More

It’s easy to laugh - plus smiling and laughter makes us happier. Today I went to numerous websites to answer this question: How many muscles does it take to smile or frown? There are pages of answers, but to boil it down - no one knows for absolute sure. Many sources say it takes more muscles to frown that to smile. I just know that laughter and smiling makes you feel better than frowning and scowling.

Watch animals - they do funny stuff. Americas’ Funniest Videos show animal clips a lot, and they are some of my favorite. People get uptight, tense and too stressed in the pursuit of daily living. Things can get you frustrated really easily:

• Like other drivers on the road

• Children

• Your job

• Your marriage

• Problems with your health

• Money problems

Maybe you’re like me in that I always laugh about dumb things I did in the past. We just need to laugh sooner I think.

Ways to laugh more:

• Read a humorous book

• Go to a funny play

• Go see or a comedy movie

• Try to remember a couple funny jokes

• Hang out with some fun loving people - they laugh a lot

• Watch Americas Funniest Video –record them to watch again later

• Make a list of all the stupid or funny stuff you have done or said.

• See good comedians

• Watch old Bill Cosby videos

• Lastly Youtube has enough funny videos for you to watch a couple everyday for the next 10, 000 years.

A duck went into a restaurant and ordered breakfast. Later the waiter brought more coffee and the check, then the duck said, “I don’t have any money – can you just put that on my bill?” yuk, yuk, yuk. I know it’s really corny - but every time I speak, I use that little joke, and I always get a laugh. Most of the time, if you can make people laugh, they love being around you. The opposite is true as well – do you like being around a frowning unhappy person?

Laugh more; it keeps you happier. It’s an easy thing to do but it’s also easy not to do.
