Social Media for the Non-Believer: 5 Tips for Getting Started by Kris Kiler

Ironically, just this past week I have had a couple of people say: “Janet, why should I invest any time doing social media? I'm already successful with my network marketing business. My business is networking so I know all about social networking.”

My intention was to write a post today to answer that question. As it happens, someone I recently connected with on twitter wrote a post answering the basics of the question. Read his post and then, of course, I will be happy to give you additional information for your particular situation. Janet

Time—Friend or Foe? By Janet Callaway | The Natural Networker

Most of us have a love/hate relationship with time. Sometimes we feel it is on our side and other times we feel it is working against us.

In The Wealth Formula I talked about the importance of knowing the correct answer to the question “how many hours are there in a week?” The gentleman who taught my mentor about The Wealth Formula became an enormously successful and wealthy man because he learned the value of time from other wealthy individuals.

Below are some of my favorite quotes which help me appreciate, respect and best utilize my time.

Please do share a few of your favorite time quotes below.

How to Make 2011 Your Best Year Ever by Janet Callaway | The Natural Networker

2010 is drawing to a close and the promise of 2011 is drawing near. This is the time of year when people think about how next year will be different. Unfortunately, just thinking about how it will be different, will not make it so. If you want it to be different, you have to think about it, plan it and then action--consistently!

On December 20^th, Mari Smith, dubbed the “Pied Piper of Facebook” by FAST Company and a “go to” lady for most all things social media or social networking, wrote a terrific article on what she does to plan for each year. Below are a few excerpts from her post which I particularly like. For your convenience, I have included the link to that blog post because from there you will be able to connect to Chris Brogan's similar post. He chooses 3 words each year; in his blog post, he explains the how and why of them.

The Eagle, You and Change by Janet Callaway | The Natural Networker

The American Bald Eagle.

What a majestic and an inspiring symbol. Any of us involved with personal development and coaching, know Jim Rohn's famous comment about the fact that you can dress a duck up in an eagle jacket, send it to eagle school and it will still be a duck.

Jim also taught us that for “things to change, you have to change.”  After you read this story, decide if you have the heart of an eagle; decide if you will change.

The Eagle has the longest life-span of its species living up to 70 years. However, to reach this age, the Eagle must make a hard decision in its 40's. Its long, flexible talons can no longer grab prey; its long sharp beak becomes bent.

Everyone and No One by Seth Godin

Simple words with a powerful message by Seth Godin who is also a natural networker. Remember them when you are making the choices in your life. 

 

Janet

Two things are always not true:

Everyone likes this.

No one likes this.

Sorry.

If you try to please everyone, the few you don't delight will either ruin your day or ruin your sense of what sort of product you should make.

And if you believe the critic who insists that no one is going to like what you made, you will walk away from a useful niche.

One other thing: Sometimes it's easy to confuse, "the small cadre of people I want to impress because my ego demands that this 'in' group is important," with "everyone." They're not the same.

Be Your Own Hero

It sounds arrogant, doesn’t it? This week at my Toastmasters meeting, I was given two minutes to give an extemporaneous answer to the questions: “Who is your hero? And why are they your hero?” Without skipping a beat and without delay, I answered: “I am my own hero.”
