When was the last time you received an actual letter in the mail with a stamp on the envelope? When was the last time you used a pay phone? These long time communication icons are quickly being erased by computer technology…technology that has changed the way we interact with each other. Whether you like it or not, you will inevitably be swept along with the crowd.
The majority of us wait for the innovators and early adopters to take the risks of launching new ideas before we are willing to give them a try. Laggards, on the other hand are those who are so set in their ways that they will only accept new ideas after they have been tested and proven by others.
Are you on Facebook, Twitter or Linked-In? Or are you waiting to see if they are just a way for computer geeks to stay in touch with each other? Social media experts predict that these web-based communication tools will be vital for the success of any business in the future. If your business is still relying on traditional advertising and direct mail, it may be in trouble. In which category do you see yourself? Are you an empowered innovator, a laggard or somewhere in between?
Success requires getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things. Why wait for someone else to get the credit for something you have already thought of. Why not become an unstoppable innovator and see how it feels for a change? What do you have to lose?
Yours In Success…
Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
