Dr. Thurman was speaking to the fact that the truth behind all things is interconnectedness. The internet, social media and blogging is connecting us in a multitude of ways with unlimited potential connections.

Networking Through Facebook Groups and Fan Pages

The most important thing we ever do in business is build relationships. Only through relationship building activities do we build trust with others. I have found networking offline to be the greatest asset to my business and it is just as true online. When I first joined Facebook a number of years ago, I only connected with others as they requested to be my friend on Facebook. I was not giving Facebook at the time the attention it deserved. It didn’t dawn on me at the time that Facebook was no different than all the networking I was doing through the Chamber, BNI and other networking venues.
The funny thing that occurred as a result is that I only became friends with people I already knew or individuals who were already in my business. For a start that was great however I was missing the boat in terms of using Facebook as a venue to network and grow my business. Yes, it is a social network first however it is perfect place to network, create new friendships and ultimately grow your business.

Writing from the Heart, Discovering Your Authentic Voice

It takes courage to be true to yourself and follow your heart. We can often get in caught up in what we think we should do or someone else’s magic formula for success and yet at the end of the day we must measure our success by our own values and the urgings of our heart. Social Media is the great equalizer however this does not mean making everyone the same. What makes life so interesting is that we are not all the same and we all have an unique piece of the puzzle to life. This is one of the driving forces that makes social media so dynamic and exciting. People are drawn to people who they feel they can have an authentic connection.
We are starving for real connections. At our essence we all want the same things, happiness, purpose, love and at our core essence we are the same and yet how we express ourselves in the world is as unique as every snowflake. This dynamic is what creates the magnetism of life which attracts us to each other.
Mastering Social Media One Bite At a Time

his post is very pertinent to my own journey. It is easy to get distracted and running into too many different directions when setting up your points of contact on the web for your internet marketing. I have 2 youtube channels, my husband has a youtube channel for his new business, I have two blogs, my facebook and my twitter account. I have a dozen or so articles I have written thus far. My plan is to connect all these points and use my youtube channels and articles in part to drive traffic to my blog. As a Master Plan it has a lot of merit however there is something to be said for focusing your efforts.
In looking back at my internet marketing experience thus far I can see another approach that I believe deserves consideration. Pick one social media platform and master it. Once mastered pick another medium and master that as well. In other words build each piece of your network on the web one social medium at a time. I have been on Facebook for two years but only recently am I fully realizing the potential of Facebook.
