Staying The Course
Subtitle: Here And Now, There And Later
Not writing on my blog, is like not being at home for an extended period of time. It’s not like I have not been busy though. Here’s what I’ve been occupied with:
Networking: I hope many of you are not undervaluing meeting people in ‘real-life.’ I’ve been busy adding more influential people to my address book and have been going out and shaking their hands to solidify the relationship.
Planning: Success is a continuous cycle of striving to reach goals, constantly readjusting to meet those goals, and formulating new direction. If you’re social media plan is the same as it was a month or two ago, then you need a serious re-evaluation in order to reach new heights – nothing remains static.
Entrepreneurship: With Phase I of my social media plan done (more on that later), I’ve been concentrating on developing more business related agendas. On the plate is a new business product which I’m partnering with my wife (she’s such a creative soul) on. Another area is the ongoing development of the business side of social media (forgive me for being vague, but that’s best for now).
As you can see, I’ve been busy. A promise to you, is that I’m recommitting myself to the blog with more updates on the market in general as well as what I’m up to…hope to see you around.

Great that you are busy. I had no doubt. I think we (humans) tend to be more conservative, focusing on just the income-producing gig, making sure that stays it’s course, minimizing risk of “losing” that gig, especially during tough economic times, like we are all experiencing, whether we like it or not.
The professionals (folks that have been doing this longer than us) say that this is the time to push harder, diversify, and innovate. I agree but I do think its a challenge, especially when one has limited funds and is focusing(priority #1) on making sure bills are paid. Plus, those “professionals” may not have experienced an economic downturn like this before.
Regardless, these times are producing new companies, new entrepreneurs, and innovtive services and products that we will all benefit from. I know you and LATISM are doing the same!
I agree w/ you…as much as the flags of innovation and diversifying are waved it is not a special challenge that differs from before. Luckily, I’ve been prepped on seeking the positive in any situation be it positive of negative…it’s how you hedge yourself.
Yes, we’re in a new era and we are witnessing new companies and such…very exciting!
Thanks for your thoughts, they are always well read.
